Power Elite

Order From Chaos

I don't have a face anymore 
 Just eyes, nose and a mouth 
 My identity has been compromised 
 Uniqueness oversimplified 
 Inside my words their germinated seed 
 When I speak they speak for me 
 My tongue replaced by a maggot 
 A larval spawn of ignorance 
 Regurgitating verbatim 
 The lies from the screens of policy 
 A slave state experiment 
 A mannequin transfixed 
 I listen endlessly to nothing 
 Cannot hear myself think 

 Men beetle black helmets that shine 
 Hide behind their masked of infamy 
 Gather the flock and process 
 Metal exoskeletons of hate 
 Needle teeth shoot up 
 Tendrils burrow farther back 
 Weevils crawl 
 Insecting between my ears 

 Disinfectant saliva leaks 
 Cleansed, treated and sterilized 
 Emotions washed away 
 Now I'm pure and whole 
 Sift through my thoughts 
 No reality pollutes me with its lie 

 This parasitic partnership 
 As host I am stripped of myself 

 Power elite 
 Totalitarian nations 
 Nurture us 
 Torture us 
 Terminal destinies 

 Surgical political machinery 
 Bureaucratically given identity 
 Just another fatted calf 
 Slaughtered ripe from the herds 
 Toasting the lust of their conquest 
 Their cattleprods and hammers speak 
 Power elite
