Under the ruins of a paradise never to be known Crushed beneath the feet of gods who Reap what we have sown As the industrial neo-fascists slash and burn through flesh Endorse the individual but sacrifice the rest I want the truth to be told That we are more than the sum of what we're sold Social Darwinist manipulation Multilateral agreement for the devastation Of all but the hegemon while we as one Are sacrificed on the alter In the age of the refugee this era of death for profit Ideals alone will minimize the fringe Organization can enhance empowerment Against forced abortions and sterilizations Clitoridectomy aberrations Oil addiction inculcation while alternatives face negation By those who anesthetize the mind And invest in broken lives Disorganize overpower exploit and stratify The distorted promise of a free exchange haunts us through The debts we pay to the alliances which turn me against Those around me And against myself Generation after generation enduring apocalyptic visions In individual private hells with bodies weak And minds distorted with nothing left to sell While the masters of the new feudal age Drink to satisfy an unquenchable thirst Gulping our blood our sweat and spit back lies Are these our lives?
