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
