The System Sucks

The System Sucks, a photo by firoze shakir photographerno1 on Flickr.

corruption
chaos
the poor mans soul
they loot
take his precious vote
than for 5 years
show him the boot
more misery
for the man without a foot
the system sucks
who cares a hoot
democracy
a carnival
of fools
by fools
for fools
the cause
the cancerous root
when the city burns
nero plays the flute
you plant the tree
your neighbour
eats the fruit
black money
to Swiss banks
to re-route
eunuch silence
all around
the public
deaf dumb and mute
rats leaving a sinking ship
in a diver's suit
law and order
helpless
in hot pursuit
to bell the cat
the search
for a new recruit


ps
system sucks
unborn child's future at stake
mans political conscience
that god forgot to make
somnolent totally
unawake
pretentiously real
in reality a fake
to mankind
causing a heart break
