Owned

Come my cattle Come my sheep Waddle to the place Where I tell you to sleep Stop your thinking Don’t utter a peep We are in charge Of you and your thought We pay for your ass Your life we bought Don’t ***** whine or moan It’s you and your ass we own Yes we can now say this to your face We no longer need to hide We own the human race Do you think we ever really care? If you do Then you deserve the misery you share We can’t help but laugh at all you fools For years you’ve been our slaves And our obedient tools We trained you like dogs And baited you like fish Now with the world on the brink All you can do is wish Pathetic that you have lost your sight Despicable that you have no fight You deserve to be fleeced like sheep Instead of standing up for yourselves You cower and weep We feel no pity or remorse You gave us this power And set the course So please continue to wallow in shame You only have yourselves to blame As we continue to play our game Eric (and sometimes not)

Now we're talking. I agree with every sentence. I also feel like I can isolate about 50 families on the planet that own everyone else. Family run business in enslaving the population using money, religion, fear, terrorism, you know how it is. Have you ever heard of the movie Zeitgeist? Very in line with your thinking and they name the families involved (yes...the bushes are on their list). Powerhouse write Eric. I feel sorry I missed it for this long. -Yoni
