It’s Not Ours To Own

Our culture is a sheep herder
It develops caverns and valleys to sway us
It creates threats and damage to move us
It fabricates reward and profit to still us
Yet is does not lead us.

Our culture is a silkworm
Our culture is a raging bull
Our culture
Our culture
Our culture is not ours.

Our culture is a benign diagnosis
Detention in the mean time
Osmosis in the off time
Ostracize the bad times
Prozac can change the meaning of time
Time, time, time is all we got left.

Our culture devises planets into oasis
Watershed the pain
It’s a pattern of overwhelming majority
Demo-publican the Argonaut
Antagonize the workforce
Derived from the sweetest of poisons.

Collude on the frenzy
Captain of the flocked fleet
What a damned vessel
It hangs by its own feet.

Pragmatic and plutocratic
Patronize the plagiarism
Our culture is a building block
May as well let it burn.

Our culture is a melting pot of euro dimes and Chinese squat
African assemblage and native endangerment
Girth of the wealth divided by the storm
No wonder nothing ever goes wrong.
