deep siphoning

deep siphoning
_________

don't believe them
they all lie and cheat
bourgeois decadence

they make money prisoners
stashed away in bank dungeons
never to run free like currency should
damn them

they take money prisoners
slave labor no benefits
no assurance no insurance
damn them

don't believe them
they grab and steal
bourgeois decadence

all is an investment
estate living without giving
'work for it' they say
'or do without it'

don't believe them
they speak in tongues
their own language

they commit crimes
against the natural flow
bourgeois decadence

they pile high their plates
pigs at a trough
never to be slaughtered

their freedom of greed
their freedom of gluttony
their freedom of lust
damn them

their freedom of excess
their freedom of press
self promotion of egos
god, damn them

proletariat toil
manure on the soil
feed their greed
bourgeois decadence

don't believe them
they deceive you
empty promises
empty your pockets

free credit cards
endless debt
new age slavery
intimidate

nothing to lose
but your dreams
never fulfilled
damn them

bourgeois decadence
material romance
dance with the wolves
don't get lost in envy
_________


Cecil B. Lee

Reminds me of a classic line of drug dealing modernity- first one's free (then the price goes up). Siphoning is a good way to put it..

Hell yeah, Mongolia ! 8)
Doll, you may have found a place of rest but I'm still on the trail.

That's the thing...it never changes....greed is a malignancy...
If you do not change your direction
you may end up where you are heading
