Every sinew rebelling
A propaganda state
Distilling knowledge
From the oil of deceit
Trying to stand
Quicksand round our feet

Blind faith is a shield
To mortal torment
Elevating peers
Whose decisions prevail
Determining evidence
We lay on the scale

Middling mind
Exalted to enigmatic sage
Chief dispenser
Of intellects fare
Intelligence hoarding
Behind veiled lair

Policing the night
From societies ghoul
Safeguarding streets
Where properties live
Gazing down at poor,
Addicted young kid.

Brazen, inscrutable
Unlearned mayor
Directing destiny
With well hidden string
Abruptly dissolved
Once military win.

And you preach freedom
Through satellite state
Selling forgiveness
While kicking the chair
A tower built on liberty
Crushed, karma dollars swear

From utopian bubble
It’s easy to judge
A complicit fiend
Playing mankind
I’m only saying
It fuels rebellious mind.
