Tears in the river
By MikeShank1989
There's a fear among friends
It's rarely mentioned
Appearing
in every tear
Revered by reflection
The rebels of my era erase
ignorance
Lusting after lethargy, complacence leaves faces winced
We make it a point to be on point, no hypo
Burning fact into fiction,
so lipo
My fellow freaks spit fire, so sideshow
A learning tactician
on the track, go maestro
Mass marketing Monsanto might make Mike go
psycho
Applied insecticide to our side, now their eyes glow
Gaining
profits, playing prophets, I see through their lies though
Organic
is titanic if your pockets light bro
Doe-eyed, budding, broken, baseless
Fluoride flooding freckled faces
Penning propositions promoting
pollution
In place of a painless smoking solution
Bubbling bacteria
into bath water
Troubling diphtheria shot through your daughter
Soil saturated, disgruntled discord
An oil slick, fudge thick, funneled
through fjords
Exploiting the home team as our feet hit desert sand
Spinning stories simply, making children understand
Preying on poverty,
making a nation a novelty
Drawing sweat from shrapnel to equalize
economy
Cajoling children, controlling villains testing tainted shores
Bartering saccharin for accurate locations of corps
Playing tag
at gunpoint to have minefields explored
Pupils praying for vacation
when their vocation is war
A cherub's corpse in a lair of remorse,
such a load to carry
Packing boxes of pine in uniform lines to be
buried
Damning stars and stripes for broken lives used to increase
monetary
We just wanted a deal on unleaded, exploiting the Achilles
heel was ancillary
