At war
With the crowd
The power to rule
Internal manipulation
At war with
Authority
Every man and woman
Raised to cower
By abuse
By withholding of love
Nothing is worth autonomy
Nothing is worth dignity
The crowd became a voice
For the psyche
The crowd became a voice
For superficial want
Of contempt
Emotional wreckage
Swallowed depression
The crowd became a voice
Of jealousy
Dissatisfaction
By abuse
We were made to cower
To be less
Than who we are
To be less
Than truth
