Neurological Toxin (Or Internal Struggles with God)

Parliament's headquarters--Back alley for smokes n' such. Politicians deliberating on the bread and the butter While the starving go hungry and the Truth begins to suffer. Never point to the signs on the wall 12 steps, Denial before the fall. Consumerist, zombie shuffle back to the car, the market's full up. Look for the polyethylene creamer. Metallic coated groceries For the plastic (PORTIS issued) consumer. "Coke is it" they would say as they take the morning grind (black/two sugar.) Racists make the sea of Policy makers and warmongers, Bathing in other's poverty, hunger and pain; Fearing death before the climb, G-d before the fall Slashing at the necks of basilisks until they turn to stone.   Blind and petrified to the core, I swear God, Parliament will smoke no more. Comes along the Harbinger, you've got one new message. Message one, There is no god, only me. I'm your Hypocrisy. Cry to an empty thought, kid the kidders, sin among sinners. Shamble back to Parliament's sanctuary, the legislators are in, Let Smokes n' Such begin.
