Power Elite

I don't have a face anymore

Just eyes, nose and a mouth

My identity has been compromised

Uniqueness oversimplified

Inside my words their germinated seed

When I speak they speak for me

My tongue replaced by a maggot

A larval spawn of ignorance

Regurgitating verbatim

The lies from the screens of policy

A slave state experiment

A mannequin transfixed

I listen endlessly to nothing

Cannot hear myself think

Men beetle black helmets that shine

Hide behind their masked of infamy

Gather the flock and process

Metal exoskeletons of hate

Needle teeth shoot up

Tendrils burrow farther back

Weevils crawl

Insecting between my ears

Disinfectant saliva leaks

Cleansed, treated and sterilized

Emotions washed away

Now I'm pure and whole

Sift through my thoughts

No reality pollutes me with its lie

This parasitic partnership

As host I am stripped of myself

Power elite

Totalitarian nations

Nurture us

Torture us

Terminal destinies

Surgical political machinery

Bureaucratically given identity

Just another fatted calf

Slaughtered ripe from the herds

Toasting the lust of their conquest

Their cattleprods and hammers speak
