Environment: Capitulate corporateering
Enveloped in wrong happenstance
Find rigor & rising tide frustration
Lose countless everythings
Settle greedocracy with cocktails & unmitigated denial
Forever never set in stone
Change tomorrow through today
When drive-thru markets climatize
We see the price of oil rise
Settle non-distraction through vague viscosity
I hold on tight, my dreams at night
Carry them in satchels and pages
Ink flows freely while I'm still allowed to think
But when will they take that away too?
They've date raped everything else
Left charred remains of hope in their wake
But why do I bother, writing raptured woe?
My voice will never change their choice
Or lend credence to the cause
My failed regret & alphabet mean nothing
So I fly recklessly into denial
And build this foxhole deeper
I'll take up arms of pleading sanity
While truth still holds it's own
This gypsy breathes in malcontent
And somber lullabies
I'm wrenched in between the corporate cogs
Setting fire to their words
I grasp for straws of common sense
But only find remorse
For not the tides refuse to rise
To sweep hopelessness to sea
I pray the rain will wash away
Their endless reign of apathy
