The Black Suits

By DescendingDown

Strangling plastic smiles
In a procession of obsession
An eclipse of spiritual unity
In the ashes of my redemption
Wallowing in this frequency of obscurity
My eyes see though pulsing microbes
& atoms of a tainted society fabric
I am the cancer 
( Rotting ) 
Stifling your thinking
( Suffocate )
A seeping infection
Amongst the droning
Of incubating feeble minds
These corporate roses smell like deception
( Corruption )
I am a requiem for free will
Mourning freshly sterilized thoughts
Questioning your depraved
Ignorant ideals
Watching the numbers march in mindless conformity
A somber submission
To the branding of your souls
