wilt and ooze, the sore it seeps
they abandon the masses and slaughter us like sheeps
rank the rot and deem them frauds
unveil the famine, expose the facades
amass the ailing, expel the bloated
foster the hope and revive the corroded
bestow the cash and champion the aid
authorize the payments, reward the unpaid
shelter the powerless, protect the common
demand the virtuous, honor the forgotten
exposed and vast, we hunger—we riot
riled and ravaged, a collective defiance
plunder the fuckers and reduce them to ash
dismantle their authority and inflict the lash.
