Intro: A life of work.....

"DEFEAT"

Dark on the inside, even darker outside,

Time slowly wasting, slow time we abide.

Enduring all tests, work against our will,

Defiling nature and our supressed urge to kill.

Where once I did think, now I am told,

Blinkered deception, untold lies unfold.

Humbled by gratitude, controlled by the law,

Whilst the upwardly mobile piss down on the poor.

From birth ´til our death, helpless - alone,

My features may differ yet I am a clone.

A product of society, once your turn, now mine,

Thought process fades, on a steady decline.

Hating to accept downtrodden defeat,

Yet indoctrinating their ideals on others we meet.

Although I fight, the battle is never won,

All forms of resistance, supressed before I´ve even begun.
