Defeated in depression

In your lonely little life

Trapped within a world of others

Since the one you knew is rife

With inequality, injustice

Inconvenient truth denies

And weaponized disinformation states

Of lies and data spies

Now analyze the Analytica

Chlamydia contagion

Viral marketing campaigning

Stagnant wage a war

Sensation

Burning Californication

To diffuse the situation

At the border firewall

Just spark another conflagration

Global changes uninstalled

But still enthralled are the spectators

Haters waiting on a savior

To deliver Hunger Games

And ever in their favor wager

That a litany of killing spree

Appeases free for all to see

And that the guilty party be

News feeding, eating your I.D.

Until the next, same old reboot

Loots pockets like colluding suits

And muted destitutes

Excuse the Pruitt's crude pollutants

When it's Houston under water

Flint still sippin' on the squalor

Slaughter stains our hands in Yemen

Where the kids are cannon-fodder

But your daughters and your sons

Are safe

Your belly's full

You're not displaced

So waste each waking second

On your daily fake intake

You're only making the stakeholders'

Promise

Easier to break
