The Future is Written

The Future is Written

A Poem by Tkess

 

The future is written

By little Guatemalan children

With a giant cross for the T

 

The future is written

By generations of blinded fools

Street side court jesters

 

The future is written

With the blood of the poor

With the blood of the innocent

As the rich drive the machine

 

The future is written

While we take one step forward

And we take two steps back

All in the name of progress

 

The future is written

By fat cats in Reagan masks

As we all get kicked around like strays

 

The future is written

Their hands are tied to do anything

Unless you threaten chains

 

The future is written

Everything is broken

Where even the spin gets spun

By devils in three piece suits
