Afterglow

Afterglow

A Poem by Argentaeus

Wealth is illusion
A vision of the blind
A weapon of confusion which
Enslaves you to the grindstone of
Your Life
Your Wife
Your mortgage and
Your Car
The Lights of our great cities
Brighter than the Morning Star now
Secure in his dominion over
Those who toil below
Stoke the fire will your millions and enjoy the
Afterglow

The Son of Man was a messenger here
Killed and reviled by the 
Ones He held dear
All the evil which is done in
His name
Converts the King of Kings to a
Pawn in the game of the men whose
Aim it is to rule and
Enslave all those of us who
Worship not yet
Hear and obey

So we pray to this guy who got
Nailed to a tree and we
Read what he said across the
Lands of the Free
We all mouth the words yet we still do not
Know
There's a reason Gold comes from the ground
Down below
