unified duplicity

pack up your hunger, your need,
your empty pockets and leave;
I can't have you ruining my
dinner. shoo! hurry now, what
would They say about you? well,
yes, at one point I did care
about all of these little
people. yes, I know I made
guarantees of freedom from
hell, but now I've eaten of
the same Bread as They, my eyes
are now open to the true
issues. do you really think
that your hungry children's cries
are of my concern, when loud
are the voices of our dead
forefathers? please, just go now,
it is time for Us to play
charades with the highest rank
of Actors and Actresses;
to fill our bellies with the
pleading of peasants and drink
til drunk the wine of privilege.
go away, you gnat, and leave
me peace. I refuse to be
brought down by the likes of you.
I made you my promises
and whispered sweet nothings, I
worked hard for those gifts from the
Social Elite. all for you,
don't you see? I eat this cake
so you don't have to, now leave
me to my mass delusion.
