We Hate You

It is in the petty dribble of officialdom
the authoritarian contempt
snarls it’s canine hate of standardization

Vindictive in the files of paperwork
the red tape cold blooded ribbon 
of your demoralisation

Faceless, emotionless
regurgitated institution
the implacable tax on being human

Each printed facet of a fascist regime
a suckling vampire at the breast of freedom
feeds an elitists greed

You are property

Ordered, dissuaded and indoctrinated
the glib maintenance 
of the happily persecuted

By every difference so divided
to lose your sense of unity
and celebrate the abuse of humanity

And by threat, and fear, and legal debauchery
use it’s violence
to support your conformity

Such are the wiles of educational belligerence
the malicious criminals
of self importance

You are property

Enslaved to the masterminds of their own comfort
willing participants
to the gorging of parasites

They hate you
disgusted by your poverty
they disdain you

Deprived of your humanness
they use you
fill their bellies off of you

Faceless, emotionless
regurgitated institution
the implacable tax on being human

You are property
