Somebody Has to Pay the Bill

In a desire to know
Talking sense can attract needed change
But to them to whom knowledge fails
Obstinately choose, a phony legend
Fanatic devotion to discredited myth

In their passionate outbursts, clear words
Weaving a tapestry of choice interpretations
Words that outline venom and cunning
Lies of ignominy

Assertions without regard
For careful consideration
At the expense of a sovereign country
Of a self-determining people

Being accustomed to animal pleasures
They consume and destroy
More so, do not produce
Their pleasures tied, to a using Party

Keeping in step to preserve fiction
And a false stability
Is rather be trash
Frustrated but cowed

Some time all the same
When debt calls
Someone has to pay
The demanding bill

For a future owed
That deprives the children of truth
That burdens them With the agonies of pain
Be proud!
