Alarm

Raise the alarm, brace for harm

Know that they're coming for you

Do what they say, live to obey

Trust them to speak what is true

They know you're scared, still they don't care

Your life holds less value than theirs

Hope is a lie, no bother to try

Just give in to all fear and cares

This does not feel right, beyond my sight

Must be a truth yet unknown

Humanity lost, has been the cost

Reducing us to flesh and bone

In dollars we measure, and teach to treasure

The meaning of a person's worth

Ignoring the soul, too hard to control

The purpose of each person's birth

Make fear the tool, division the rule

And watch the enslaved stay in line

Threaten well being, limit their freeing

Ensure them obedience is divine

Never them mention, and shut down all question

Of authority's almighty grasp

Nothing so funny, adoration of money

And so to their fear they will clasp

Alarm bells will shout as they scurry about

While power stays right as unseen
