Enslavement
They watched him walking restricted by a thin thread
As he was counting his losses from a game of roulette
They saw him drowning very slowly in clouds of tar
His lungs were punctured by barbed wire very bizarre
They dumped ice on the road where he was speeding
He cried red tears but no one listened to him pleading
They bought what she offered packed tightly in chains
Her tracks almost hidden behind smiles and great pains
They laughed as she danced revealing her naked soul
Watching her stumble across the room with iron control
They celebrated her beauty buying bottles of champagne
While she counted dollar bills soon lost in dreamy acid rain
They delivered health care with bandages in bright blue
When he was running in circles trying to catch his déjà vu
They prayed for the sinners after signing papers of lies
As he was collecting gear made of glass with hollow eyes
They sleep self-satisfied in their beds throughout the night
When he was alone with his girl without any visible light
When the earth cracked open with pain and explosion
They got richer exploiting the lost without much emotion
When weapons are build for mass destruction and war
They went shopping demanding a discount far offshore
When the Post Master distributed mass mailings of threat
The surgeons could not see because they all bled red
