Same Old Shit
Snagged, squeezed, plucked, pulled, and shredded
fiber by fiber, neuron by neuron
through the machine which grinds my being
into the homogeneous mush of middle-class America
where everything is peachy keen
and the pearly white churches overflow
with Christian vultures sing hymns to heaven
creating a collective blindness to their own misdeeds
where everything is purified in the name of money
give unto Caesar what is his
and all that pathetically pedantic rhetoric
of slave morality
and ass kissing black hearted self betrayal
to impress the executioner
by supplying an endless stream of bodies
euphemistically called the ladder to success
