Venerated

Venerate
Vaunt
Present
Flaunt

Are you laced with money
Do you keep the cogs moving
Has your heart gone cold
Does your head need soothing

Do you crush others
On your way up the ladder
And when you come across glass
Do you make it shatter

CONGRATULATIONS
We need you bad
Without your lies
We’d all go mad

You are the venerated
You are the vaunted
All before you
Are emotionally slaughtered

You rise to the top
On heels of daggers
A master manipulator
A seasoned blagger

This world loves you
For the things they see
And for all the things
You won’t let them believe

You keep the status quo
You keep your rivals low
You’ll never let them know
You’ll never let them know

That you’re vulnerable
You’re human too
They don’t really need you
There’s things they can do

But if aint broke
Then it don’t need to be fixed
No matter the cracks
Or if the system’s sick

Please accept me
Mould me to your ways
Give me power to crush
And the power to slay

Working together
Just a fallacy
Send profits to the top
Make labour free

Yet they’ll still vaunt
And venerate you
Lost sight of the sun
What’s good and true

And it doesn’t matter
If someone speaks up
Because you’ll use your power
And have them crushed
