Inheritance Tax
Walking through embers
Of careless ancestors
Nothing to say
But a pair of hand gestures
For a debt that’s been left
As inheritance ash
Despair is the unfairest tax
So urn the disrespect
It will be hard to resurrect
Successes of the past
With inexperienced critics
And anti-social cynics
Sure to be
Hard pressed for the task
No matter how you spin it
The World’s emotion sickness
Is in need of heave and wretch
Dig deep
Or cave to stress
Of majority one percent’s
Globally governmental attempts
For keeping us less
By segregating you
And sorting all the rest
Expected to relent to relaxation
The idol, Man’s damnation
Temptation’s sensation
With discontent working
Heavy in their favor
What ever happened
To loving thy neighbor
Abandoned integrity
Respect and the Savior
All for the power
Of political favor
As long as we keep eating
They are sure to keep feeding
Same shit
Different flavor
Swallow hard and take charge
Or succumb to the anger
Time has come
For making some
Very difficult choices
Taking on responsibility
Long since avoided
Addressing self-abusers
Who would never express
Regret for bad tattoos
Attacked as trash
And badass losers
So you have proven
You can handle a suture
Now roll up your sleeves
And fight for the future
As you are the new nerds
Techies have programmed
Reversal of roles
Mentally wrestling
Away the controls
we've been too busy fighting to see it
Brute strength is the true root
Of absolute weakness
Into existence hurled
Where the meek are intent
To inherit the world
