numbers
i find it quite sad that the only thing stopping me from beng who i wish to be is a certain sequence of numbers.
numbers seem to have more power over people than any god or government-
this world was built-
and will burn-
because of numbers.
bank account statements cause stalemates between myself and my ambitions-
I am chained and restrained by my credit score, cruelly kept from exploring distant shores.
men slay their fellow man without a second thought
for a fat stack of cash and thoughts of what could be bought.
John Lennon imagined a world with nothing to **** or die for
no posessions too
but money is the cruel hand that tears that dream in two.
for as long as the concept of money
is the fire that drives men's hearts to beat
we will never truly see peace,
living at the mercy of the balance sheet.
