Money Talks

poetboy123

Artists up above, controlling it all

Painting the past, Truth's took the fall

Lies etched over our reality

Falsehoods as far as the eye can see

Truth now just a forgotten memory

 

Exalting those who uphold our interests

Given them our power, our trust

Only to face harsh betrayal once again

As the wolves sheepishly recline to their den

History speaks for the future of our descent

 

Locked away, unable to wrestle with our fate

Destiny decided though it may not be too late

Let these flames surge from your heart

Burn ablaze and we will forge a new start

All the world's a stage, time to pick your part

 

Ocean's waves roll up above our reach

Drowning out our voices, cutting off our speech

Silence freezing over the people like you and me

There are those, who by sacrifice of their humanity

And their money talks, it is the key
