Common sewerage problem
Start life in terraced houses; end up dead in one.
Like packs of rabbits, heads numbed, crushed by jaws of ravenous dogs,
Lack of movement enabled to feed uninhibited sex drives.
They all fall down:
Everyone, everywhere; all due to their own mis-invention:
Not everyone was born a rocket scientist.
Mental is everyone outspoken and devoted to equality,
Seek retribution in confession; come, fornicate with your local disloyal priest
Kiss the feet of Jesus for he loves you.
Change the channel for the commercial break:
Signals beamed through satellites- all converge to form the same lies—
Swallowed and shat-out in rugged, municipal vines:
Everything is done for the prosperity of the common person—
Diversion tactics employed by tactile puppets on Illuminati strings:
To be pulled whenever they please,
Common bleeds the sense,
To drip,
Then trickle,
Down to the sewers:
To flow beneath the feet of power
