The Shoulder
They give us books,
To make us smarter.
They feed us beer,
To dumb us back up.
They send us to schools,
To train us for society.
They then sponsor concerts,
All about anarchy.
They sell us lies,
Through all our senses.
And tell us to fight capitalism,
With all our heart.
They feed us fear,
Through hollow patriotism.
And tell us to love,
And let the world live.
A child is born,
With perfect clarity.
Yet confusion grows,
Through the voice of uncertainty.
The seeds to which,
Are sown from its first word.
As we become,
Products of dispersion.
An angel and devil,
Sitting on each shoulder.
Giving suggestions,
No one asked for.
So who is it implementing,
This perfect destruction?
The chicken or the egg,
Who had begun this?
