Eagle's Preference
Like an eagle that preys
Upon a catfish pond
I have an intelligence
Not to hunt in the wilderness
I'd rather exploit the simple
Minded domestication
of people's ignorance.
So materialistic
I can sell you diamonds
When you know children
have died for it.
Sell you shoes
When all it is, is plastic.
Use your plastic
When you've been taught
to pay cash for it
Capitalistic America
will always be the eagle
and you the fish
plucked from a catfish farm
cause you refuse to
acknowledge your own
ignorance.
