Hooked
Flower beds of planted seeds
Among the harvests' reaping trees
Paper derived from milking fleas
And capital reigning overseas
A newborn's debt
His fate is sealed
With no regret
He becomes congealed
Trapped within the satire set
His contributions un-revealed
Lions bicker unrestrained
Crows feast upon the dead and dying
And plastic falls from empty shelves
The rain tap-taps on bloody stains
Corporate grease in thermic frying
We listen to the winds whisper by ourselves
The people ransom off their pain
Centralizing pleasure within the lying
Addiction lies in lies themselves
