Condom on the asphalt!
Never seen or heard,
Numb to the world,
Genes resvior,
Always containing an outburst!
A terminated vector,
Malthusian prophylactic,
Condom discarded
on THE ASPHALT!
Woolen conformity
suffocates, garroting
all yearning to benefit
with hands dutiful in aid
for all souls bound by mesh.
Religious principles
envelop to usurp logic
while charging indulgence
against the sin of living in a
system determined to terminate.
Liars stammer on to
hypnotize the cameras
with confidence of capers
plotted in algorithms murky
for Malthusian agendas ancient.
They prey to ensure
ills suffer for conquest
since sigils of means rule
over tangible matter noble
according to edicts of fitness.
When refusing being
and magnificent ideals,
torches become snuffed
by delusions of sympathy
until gnarled by destruction.
Our light focuses up
through layers of dust
without material demand
to ensure the tunnel guards
ethereal generosity untainted.
Let’s give the stuffed shirts
a future they never planned
by gaining converts
until the guild is out-manned
with truth till it hurts
each serpent brand in their hand.
I shall not give out
one iota of passion
to scoundrels devout;
I seize their lies of ration.
Malthusian doubt
cannot defeat compassion.
Love conquers by choice
the demons exalting doom
by raising our voice
until there is no more gloom
in lungs that rejoice
the gift of creation’s bloom.
The corporation hatched a plan
To hack away the code of life
Arrogance and greed then began
Plotting to profit from our strife
This nation's lost attention span
Grants dull stone to sharpen their knife
Cloaked under the guise of science
Shilling poisons that sap the land
To whittle our self-reliance
Snake-oil reptiles on the grandstand
Hypnotize to bilk compliance
While defiling this fragile strand
As long as stars dance in the sky
Power lust shall tempt to destroy
The fruits we harvest to supply
Vast growth in harmony with joy
Such balance proves grace must apply
Valor pleads we purge the decoy
Yet mercantile lies still defend
Models plotted to reduce chance
Shepherds willing to condescend
That in the name of grim finance
All individuals must end
Every endeavor to advance
So they sow oblivion's seed
While denying true creation
Bombarding genomes they proceed
To execute devastation
For these elitists stand agreed
We deserve only starvation
