This Weakened State
The common man, bruised by his empathy,
has strayed far beyond his capacities.
Only the cunning survive the test.
The greedy, the vile and the violent
have prevailed and the wrath
of indulgence has followed
with them.
The meek shall not inherit the earth,
the lamb shall be led to its slaughter
and the wolf shall eat its fill.
Naive proletariat give rise to the refugees,
who become the damned, too weak to stand
beyond the crawl and easy targets
for the 'Super Class' to covet.
The lens of the Oligarchy owned media
keep the masses occupied and hair-trigged
for foreign invaders, backed up by strong
bigot-flavoured treatise.
While barely fledged democracy
is pounced upon by the New World Order,
controlled through stock markets
and national debt intrigue.
Rothschild owned think tanks telling us
what to think, whilst education systems
are designed to execute the middle classes.
And Orwellian prophecies are nailed
to our foreheads by false prophets.
