VICTIMS~~~

by Mustardhart   Dec 15, 2004


They scamper, they scatter
They deceive, they deny
They steal, they sell
They hoard and sticker around
They scheme, they mortgage our future
They bid, bid to the highest “who’d buy”
And we are but,
Victims of Economic rampage

We are deceived and denied
Divided with an unworthy song
Cajoled, coaxed and mocked
Brain-washed, moroned
In the name of education
Left to wallow in the gutters of western civilization
And we are,
Unfortunate products of institutional tragedy
Victims of academic rampage

They give us hymns and beads
They engage in religious rhetoric’s
In an it-wont-hurt fashion
They maneuver for the highest and available office
Instead of service, they seek lordship
And they steal away not only money, but our souls
There is always a reason for these actions
Here we are, no heaven, no hope
They kill to defend and feed that god.
And we are but,
Victims of religious conspiracy

They praise-sing, they big belly
They promise, they lie
They struggle as for our salvation
Portraying innocent features
Capitalized on our weak frames and tender feelings
We succumbed and voted
Not because we don’t know,
But because we can’t protest
And we are but,
Victims of continuous poli-military rampage
