An Inbuilt Fault

Help Didn't Help At All

Oh! You don't know the half of it. 
You barely grasp a third. 
Deliberately kept in the dark
.....you make a make believe
.....light system of your world.
It's a system that's a jail.
It's been designed for you to fail.
Music for the masses-
pacifiers with molasses.
Dummies for the dumb hum-drum.
And it's so absurd
.....that you don't know
how lowly you are viewed
by the billionaires on Olympus.
You are written off as raw but
indispensable.
.....Indispensable and poor
..........and essential to the world.
Essentially you're farmed
'coz they don't want the rich who sit
......on top of the pyramid
to ever feel in fear of being harmed.

In desert California
all the mighty dollar kings
are building hyper basements
beneath their brittle palaces.
They've all caught wind
of a pressing need to survive
what they know
......will pretty soon arrive.
There is an ending
.....sending shock waves
..........from the near horizon.
They are buying themselves
ten years underground.
They're going underground
.....in California.
