Tilting
7/4/16
Ever since the beginning blood has always been spilling
And when it came to money some made a killing
The system many are milking
Therefore the balance has been tilting
Nearby and far away from flowers wilting
Where the temperatures are bone-chilling
Artist gilding
And others quilting
Meanwhile the media continues filming
And oil companies remain drilling
As farmers keep on tilling
Machines are used for milling
Life is thrilling
How can you get what you want, if you stay unwilling
To making progress towards fulfilling
Inside of certain buildings
Is an ongoing process of distilling
