The Corporation
Mind over matter
Your mind focused
on the latter
as you tried to climb to the top
with no perception for disaster
They call it high risk options;
sheer prayers for returns.
But all the bits of your brain
didn't care about who burned
Can't slap cuffs on an entity
So I guess it's lesson learned
in their equity
though one finds that the fines
can still burn
Every willing ear
mixed with the
right tone of trust
Acknowledgement in gold
soon traded away to dust
If the brain believes
its body should live forever,
then where's the fear
of a burn when confronted with an ember
so they never think a spark
can elevate higher
ignorance is fuel,
greed sets this structure fire
Man the troops!
The sky is falling!
The city's set ablaze
and the sirens are calling!
We're supposed to save the people,
but the people pay first
save the buildings with
these bails of water
even if the people thirst
New body, same mind.
It's done so many times
one comes to think its rehearsed
The ticket price is high,
the play leaves the people
feeling cursed.
