You sold your loyalty cheaply
to horse traders
they give you sour apple in return
now you are always hungry
but the fruit taste bitter in your soul

You sold your loyalty cheaply
to snake-oil merchants
they give you alchemist gold
with the glitter that fades
and leave markings on your skin

You sold your loyalty cheaply
to false prophets
they give kisses with forked tongues
and sermons made of lies
as they **** your blood for sacrifice

You sold yourself cheaply
to promises of the lowest bidders
who horse trades with the snake-oil merchants
who reads scriptures for the false prophets

They tell you
you have freedom and independence
curse your soul to tell you
you have been had, taken and sold
for your body tells
you are paying a heavy price
