Glamorised profits of doom

Glamorised profits of doom

Seeking legacies

Orchestrated pandemics.

Aah the white saviour mentality

Of our billionaire class.

Wanting to save us from ourselves.

What belies thy feigned concern.

Is all the stolen gold and gems insufficient.

Spoils of slavery and colonization.

Is thy wallowing isle of deviance

Unsatisfying to grandiose egos.

Aah naked emperors

Tightening the vice-grip

Of exclusion

We have faced your sword of greed

across lifetimes.

We seek not thy corrupting handouts

Your Devotian lair breeds

Dante’s Inferno.

Incinerating our freedom

And the birthright of the unborn.

Your favoured disciples hold no sway.

Falsehood is unmasked.

Knowest this.

We have defeated ‘big men’ before.

We shall resist your campaign of

Fear. Shame. Guilt.

Your talons of feudalistic oppression

Incubated in your bio-labs

Will never draw our blood again.

Know this!

Wealth accumulation is your right

In an unjust capitalist system.

But we are not the serfs to be sold for your logframe trinkets.

Seeking to bury us deeper

Into servitude

Uniformity.

Aah the cult of the naked emperors.

Lies. Sex. Videotapes

Drowning in the cesspool of greed and power.

We draw the line in the ground.

And will meet you at the barricades.
