hopeless, gaunt, feverish, everyman, downtrodden, cold begging ants

indiscriminate, hopeless, gaunt, feverish, everyman, downtrodden, cold begging ants

jeer "indiscriminate, hopeless, gaunt, feverish, everyman, downtrodden, cold begging ants"

kings and nobles, jeer "indiscriminate, hopeless, gaunt, feverish, everyman, downtrodden, cold begging ants"

leaders, kings and nobles jeer "indiscriminate, hopeless, gaunt, feverish, everyman, downtrodden, cold begging ants"

manipulative leaders, kings and nobles jeer "indiscriminate, hopeless gaunt, feverish, everyman, downtrodden, cold begging ants"

nonchalant, manipulative leaders, kings and nobles jeer "indiscriminate, hopeless, gaunt, feverish, everyman, downtrodden, cold begging ants"

oafishly nonchalant, manipulative leaders, kings and nobles jeer "indiscriminate, hopeless, gaunt, feverish, everyman, downtrodden, cold begging ants"

proud, oafishly nonchalant, manipulative leaders, kings and nobles jeer "indiscriminate, hopeless, gaunt, feverish, everyman, downtrodden, cold begging ants"

question the proud, oafishly nonchalant, manipulative leaders, kings and nobles that jeer "indiscriminate, hopeless, gaunt, feverish, everyman, downtrodden, cold begging ants"

riot and question the proud, oafishly nonchalant, manipulative leaders, kings and nobles that jeer "indiscriminate, hopeless, gaunt, feverish, everyman, downtrodden, cold begging ants"

stand up and be counted, riot and question the proud, oafishly nonchalant, manipulative leaders, kings and nobles that jeer "indiscriminate, hopeless, gaunt, feverish, everyman, downtrodden, cold begging ants"

take it all back, stand up and be counted, riot and question the proud, oafishly nonchalant, manipulative leaders, kings and nobles that jeer "indiscriminate, hopeless, gaunt, feverish, everyman, downtrodden, cold begging ants"

usurp is the only way, take it all back, stand up and be counted, riot and question the proud, oafishly nonchalant, manipulative leaders, kings and nobles that jeer "indiscriminate, hopeless, gaunt, feverish, everyman, downtrodden cold begging ants"

violent uprising is the answer, usurp is the only way, take it all back, stand up and be counted, riot and question the proud, oafishly nonchalant, manipulative leaders, kings and nobles that jeer "indiscriminate, hopeless, gaunt, feverish, everyman, downtrodden, cold begging ants"

xiphoid weapon sharpened and aimed at the one percent, wasteland paradise awaits, violent uprising is the answer, usurp is the only way, Take it all back, stand up and be counted, riot and question the proud, oafishly nonchalant, manipulative leaders, kings and nobles that jeer "indiscriminate, hopeless, gaunt, feverish, everyman, downtrodden, cold begging ants"

yield the fruits of your labour, the xiphoid weapon sharpened and aimed at one percent, wasteland paradise awaits, violent uprising is the answer, usurp is the only way, take it all back, stand up and be counted, riot and question the proud, oafishly nonchalant, manipulative leaders, kings and nobles that jeer "indiscriminate, hopeless, gaunt, feverish, everyman, downtrodden, cold begging ants"

Zen awaits, zen and maybe cake. Maybe.

Thanks for reading!

Author's Notes: Yeah...this just happened. Not sure what you'd call this. Also, I missed the deadline, but with all the effort that it took to format this properly. I didn't have the heart to just bin it.

Furthermore, extra update, thanks to Rachel Deeming, I've actually put this forward for the Inverse challenge, because it does read differently in reverse. Like a de-escalation.
