The Condenmed, humankind and otherwise

by J and J - Cancer

there are no more people like eugene debs
to implore us to wake up, to beg us to care,
chased away by the reality that corporate sponsorship
is what really matters...
not food, not love, not even guns matter
if there is not an insignia of the greater corporate good
the greater scoundrel greed upon it.
and what harrison bergeron will rise
what prophet will come to us
from light itself to save us,
only to be shot down again and again.

sure it's only life, right,
but its not, these are the proving grounds of good and evil
the nighmare landscape of armageddons fought daily
for nothing but pride and money, green green blood
flowing the veins of old old men selling candy bars
and radios, hats, shoes, cars,
but whatever, if god were here,
i bet he'd be a CEO.
