Humanity’s Path to Perdition

by Manik

You see socialism as the degenerate bastard son of the devil himself

but wonder why the distribution doesn’t drop below the top shelf

Social inequities in extreme ranges all across the nation

luckily, you only face a generation dumbed down by television

You created a vacuum of political education

for us to heed and follow your elitist indoctrination

Mainstream media spread your lie

a generation, a country without asking why

The land which is ours doesn’t produce our needs

it is with poison that it feeds

Manipulated foods to control the population

this is no longer a problem of only our nation!

Fascism is spreading at a disturbing pace

if we can’t remember the past, we have forgotten our face

Marx predicted that history is repetition

and all we do is sign the next petition!

All across the globe we should take it to the streets

trample on the elitist heart until it no longer beats

For generations to come, we must find the ways

for we are looking at very dark days

Lennon’s words have lost their meaning

instead of imagining, we are dreaming

Of a time that once was and never again will be

this has been their ultimate plan, you see?

The systems which control us will always come and go

neoliberalism is the peak of perversion and manipulative mojo

This is a fact that is for all to know

under these circumstances our society will cease to grow

We’ll be stuck in a process that isn’t completed

the future sees us defeated and resources depleted

A world where the few have the say

but for their atrocities we have to pay

Imagine a world where the wealth is equally spread

where everyone shares the same bed

Where our intellectuals will grow

and discover things we have yet to know

A world where we have fought

to live freely and expand our thoughts

Our society will continue its destined process

and everyone is granted the same access

We are stronger, we want change, we will fight!

Fascism and the elite, we say good night!

America, no matter your beauty

Your leaders have betrayed us.
