Political Intoxication

Facts now have alternatives to fortify an elite’s status
Truth has lost its authority

Principles abandoned as minds become amorous to like-minds
Intellectual treachery

Corporations have frozen the status quo
Arrested ideology

Anti-capitalism is pretentious and treasonous
Distrust the politics, kill the new entry

Religion is a sanctuary of poverty walled by tyrants 
Machiavellian weaponry

A cloaked politician claims anointment from God
Blind flock in an amen chantry

Jesus misunderstood for good for life is good
Yield to Caesar with slavery

Every system wants a piece of your livelihood
Patriotic puppetry

They invade privacy with dosages of conformism 
Online artillery

I am an armoured guerilla in a humanism suicide vest
Blowing up the system
