The Economy of Duality

Child laborers like us
Live in a world of reality
Where domestic violence is a commonality
Amidst high infant mortality

Mafia's rewarded for their masculinity
No individuality
Fear of homosexuality

Ours is a world of frugality
Full of sick mentality
An abundance of rascality, criminality, carnality, illegality
No traces of equality, liberality, joviality, musicality
Lopsided is our scale of ethicality

Thinking of freedom is an illogicality
Laughed at for its ephemerality
Being fettered in this communality
Balances the economy of duality
