left vulnerable...
left vulnerable
in a world
we don't
understand
turmoil
chaos
confusion
all
by design
in the lies
men
and women
tell
speaking leaders
mind you
those
chosen
(loosely used)
to become
embedded
in the structure
of power
too big
to fail
the mantra
of modern
times
a mess really
debt as fraud
war as profit
deceit
corruption
no integrity
a language
all their own
Robespierre
let them eat cake
lady
suffering
the assembly line
of the then
ideal form
of extermination
the blade dropped
w/such precision
a timely manner
rivaling Henry Ford's
great line
of craftsmanship
basket after basket
the blood
ran thick
in the street
gruesome
gruesome
gruesome
too bad
we never seem
to learn
from the past
is it
just our nature
to be brutal
and vicious
repeatedly
pulling wings
from flies
immolating ants
in focused sun light
through convex glass
the things
our children do
curious
inquisitive
hardly
the inquisition
yet
time will tell
our ongoing fate
in the great
divide
throw strangers
who do not speak
the language
coupled
w/the poisons
2big2fail
has laced
the country
even
the entire world
a new estimate
the world pop
is only five billion
down from nine
again
who the fuck knows
not me for certain
as it is
well beyond
the pay grade
of a fixed income
elder cripple
left vulnerable
in a world
we don't
understand
