Chapter 632

Property

Look around and what do you see
Open your imagination and curiosity
Are you one of many in the majority
Or merely nothing more than an oddity

We have been led to believe
Life offers us some type of lottery
That is simply a perpetual fallacy
Truth dictates it's a mockery

We think we are learned and smart
Hopefully viewed as being scholarly
Maybe it is only veiled snobbery
Fueled and propagated by our audacity

Aren't the lies we hear daily
Nothing more than a robbery
As our trust is stolen improperly
When we can recognize debauchery

Where does it start or end
There seems to be no equality
An emotional void is true poverty
That is not limited to a minority

Loneliness and emptiness breed
Contempt, anger and animosity
Which some see as a monstrosity
Perhaps leading to a vile atrocity

Can one break their shackles
Or are we already in a monopoly
Passed around like a commodity
Regulated to being someone's property

Nobody
