Shackles of Indoctrination

Caught in between an overwhelming sense of duty
 And the instinct to survive
 Forced into an twisted chain of daily tortures
 A perilous compromise
 Coiled into machine-like tension
 Told to ignore grueling symptoms
 Birthed to slave
 To toil in redundancy
 Taught to behave
 To appreciate hypocrisy
 Welcoming the sweet release of stupefied intoxication
 Finally numbing the aches of daily blood work
 Kneeling down before the kings of stable economics
 Kissing the ring on the hand of the chief executive god
 Your desire for free will is unproductive
 Your frustration with your life is irrelevant
 Work yourself down to the bone to produce nothing
 Give yourself unto the system till you die
 Unless you take it back...
 Why do we bear subjugation
 And never dare to react?
 Allow our lives to be purchased
 With riches made off our backs
 "Work hard, and save our nation"
 Lies told keep us controlled
 Meanwhile we grow our knowledge
 The truest power we hold
