::::::::
So many instances of corruption
So many grand schemes
To take advantage of us all
To destroy us all
I cannot compute anymore
My response can only be anger
Yet an overdose
Of your extremes
I'm overloading
I can't help it
It will explode!
I was told
Remain calm
You have to learn to calm down
What are you saying?
Accept defeat?
Accept corruption?
Accept being manipulated
Into becoming ignorant slaves?
I think not
I think I need to overload
I think I need to go mad
So I do explode
And say it out loud
Denounce it for all to hear
So something might change
Awareness
Knowledge
Public opinion
Might make a difference
Probably not
Still
I have no choice
But to try
I don't need to be specific
Such corruption is now so widespread
At every level
In so many domains
In every country
It is the overall that needs to be addressed
It is globally that we're overloading
You're not very clever
You don't need to
You're not hiding what you are doing
Apparently you don't need to
Whatever happens you're protected
You're untouchable
That may be so
But we may still be able
To stop from happening
Some of these grand schemes
To change humanity for the worse
I am sick
So sick
And so tired
I can't do anything anymore
I can't think anymore
Maybe you will win in the end
No one seems to care anyway
No one is willing to do anything
To stop you
Yet an overdose
Of your extremes
The world is overloading
We can't help it
It will explode!
