The silence you breed

Sends ripples through all

You believe you are outside

Standing by

The equilibrium is broken

And the path leads to you

Did you say you’ve done nothing?

Then why are we bleeding?

If not you, then another would do it

Is that meant to be a comfort?

You’re acting within a machine

With intent to extract

All that we hold dear

To repackage and sell

What was already ours

No one is responsible

Yet we’re all holding the blade

And we’re all being punctured

While pointing to another

We can try to say no more

But it’ll run us over

If we are too much in its path

We could turn it off

It’s that easy to do

But the wanting consumes

Those who have the most

Today is what matters

Even if tomorrow will kill

It would rather die

From its own work

And take us all with it

Than let itself be cured
