Lost and Broken

Lost and broken

lost and broken
from the poison
anointing the scorpion
scorched with venom
desert prints left in the sand
pyramidal systems
leave the nomadic intrusion
with best solution
retribution
such an intrusion
delegated promotion decided
pull the towers down 
with a conspiracy right before your eyes
but know one sees or believes
take the ideology of a secret race 
left to pick up the pieces in this horrible place
so ask the question and be aware
beware of fair pages
left to us throughout the ages
life and stages
wages being given
writing checks and spitting
the taste so sour
paid for an hour
see the tower 
so much power
banking left slanting
demolition strictly fiction
ambition to
and asbestos closed
smoke scars the fearful empire
fluoride dreams 
of teeth being cleaned
to expose poison
to us and our ancestors
industrial vans full of cans
aluminum strands
standstill and everybody ill
standstill
industrial
