Prophets of Pollution
In the alleyways and darkened slums,
That wicked force has finally come
Foreign invaders, infiltrators, instigators
Fabricators, interrogators, and demonstrators
Corruptors and traitors bound by no regulator
Homeless, jobless, hopeless, nothing good
Migrating as a mob, their livelihood
Their politics perverted, their thoughts distorted
Trafficking in the rapture of their falsehoods
Marauding prophets spewing a new pollution
Lengthy soliloquies and the resulting confusion
Captured crowds of beastly sub-humans
Laying hands in an unholy communion
Shouting out their destructive doctrine
Imagined rights of revolution and retribution
Disillusioned at the institutions of persecution
Preaching hate against lawful solutions
Demanding distributions or executions
Mob mentality, criminality, and brutality
Irrationality, abnormality, with a dark lethality
Volumes rising, clans devising, gangs antagonizing
Instigators, instigating, demonstrators, demonstrating
Pressurizing, organizing, vandalizing, energizing
Building the armies for a false Messiah
Gathering weapons of the urban jungle
From secret stores and hidden tunnels
Metal pipes, wooden bats, rusty chains
Shanks, spikes, batons, and flames
Ashcan covers, clubs, grenades, and blades
Desensitized, energized, and weaponized
Havoc, bedlam, surprise meant to terrorize
Control the streets, no compromise
Dystopian soldiers, getting bolder
Feeble-minds pledged to the controllers
Standing ready, shoulder to shoulder
Cannon fodder, a human wall, urban sprawl
All for one, one for all, heed the call, unless they fall
Charging ahead, swift acceleration
This subhuman plague brings decimation
Feeding on the sensation of ruination
Aberration, condemnation, degradation
Violation of the corporations on their road to damnation
Demarcation a finalization without limitation
A line crossed, without chance of retreat
Heartbeats, drumbeats, words on the street
Eradicating any resistance that they meet
Breaking glass, grabbing cash, ass, no backlash
No escape from the rape, whiplash from the trash
Burning buildings, burning bodies, toxic ash
Join or die, no prisoners taken, bold and brazen
Authoritative castration of the forsaken
Condemnation from overpopulation, perpetration
Regulation, segmentation, valuation, and validation
Transplantation, obligation, liquidation, and vaccination
Integration, domination, arbitration, and mediation
Stigmatization, disorientation, and investigation
And so the rise to terrorize, but also to equalize
Neutralize and demilitarize, throw off the disguise
Deinstitutionalize the enterprise, or everyone dies…
