Total Refuse

Words cut deep, on flesh,swollen
For saying unmet want or need
Power lies from one who controls.
Riled, in a turning wheel of steel chamber
One side his and another side none
He strips the ones, who share his life
Over ideals that are not his own,
It's him or the sidewalk
How pitiful his way of life.
