Breaking the life force

Drained of rational thought

Crushed into the box

Think in unison

Cog in the machine

Unknown & unseen

Situation slave

Obliged to their way

Morals start to decay

Logic slips away

Life becomes sacrificed

Withdrawing from all

Beginning to fall

From the grips of reality

Consumed by greed

“Master” learnt to feed

On decrepit economy

Abusing power

From the ivory tower

Reap the rewards

Beg and plead

Down on one knee

For the smallest of mercies

Rejected today

Make them pay

and regret their treachery

Resolution

In absolution find the solution

Manifest it

Determination

Motivation to change

Circumstances must guide you

Progression

The will to live

Leave behind the rot

Or lie down, be devoured

By the system

Become the hive mind

Morals start to regain

Logic seems to remain

No more life sacrificed

Deceit was sold

Fables so bold

Lift the veil of deception

Sever the binds

Find strength disentwine

Break free of misery

Overcome

‘til the battle is won

No matter the blood shed

Relentless strength

Internal depths

Exhale vengeance

Life will progress

New chapter’s commence

Freedom awaits

Throw off the shroud and take back life

Honour stands while the insidious die

Fate is open

Pathfinder of the soul
