The Ivory Tower
the talk of the city,
a seat of power,
in want of pity,
the clueless lack words,
add adjective stirs,
queues belated verbs,
a scheme to wreck,
your human nerves,
guesswork's an illusion,
stall tactics delusion,
your decency challenged,
you're thrown off-balanced,
and insecure is definitely assured,
they have control,
your life they own,
like a cat, they'll toy with you
they'll tear you up and enjoy the view
till you're one of them,
... a child of the damned,
