Tell me about the system
and
the secrets shared by a few men.

Because I was born on May 1st
but not in 1776 nor in Bavaria

Illuminati?
kiss my ****
he
says,

irreverent?
could be
but he doesn't worry
he's British.

the system bypasses the souls
who wears glasses, and
they never look in my direction,

they're looking for perfection
it wouldn't be found near me
on me or in me
so the system bypasses me too,

enlightened as my belt's being tightened
I know what it is to go hungry

and this is the age for that.
