Signs of the Time We Live In

This sandwich board licence business closely illustrates 
what this is really by taking the biscuit 
money for signage so much a year
 
Drawing a unique picture frame from crumbs 
in how the slave master operates exploiting powers 
then reading about how the capital's council is intending to cut down trees 
that are a couple of hundred years old 
this to make way for progress building a bus route 

They spout green when really their souls are so darned black 
rotten devolved politics will soon devour itself internally crooks 
corrupted hosts no amount of fiddling or cooking the books hides facts 
blindness a lot of people can see through this ugly veil stealing 

Where doctored figures never seem to add up 
fraud correct me if I am wrong in addressing liars 
those destructive bodies that support the me me me culture 
backwards peddling is always looking at new ways forward 
destroying the nature of truth replacing it with suffering
