The American Food Chain

A hungering rabble cry out to be fed

The cunning, dangle a carrot in front of the nose of the mob

Devious are those that manufacture implements of destruction

Their customers being placed in positions of influence by subtle manipulations

Once the order has been filled, the product must be

consumed in order to make room for more

Time to create conflict so the goods can be employed

Once used up, more can be produced and sold

The process continues on, when the supply is high a demand is created

The population stays fed denying any responsibility

They stay hidden behind a righteous falsehood

In false contentment, not honest with themselves

Their greed is satisfied when they have been fed

God help them to see what they do to gain sustenance

It is the innocent that lay at the bottom of the American food chain

With the blood of the oppressed are the throngs bellies made full
