The corporation hatched a plan <br />To hack away the code of life <br />Arrogance and greed then began <br />Plotting to profit from our strife <br />This nation's lost attention span <br />Grants dull stone to sharpen their knife <br /> <br />Cloaked under the guise of science <br />Shilling poisons that sap the land <br />To whittle our self-reliance <br />Snake-oil reptiles on the grandstand <br />Hypnotize to bilk compliance <br />While defiling this fragile strand <br /> <br />As long as stars dance in the sky <br />Power lust shall tempt to destroy <br />The fruits we harvest to supply <br />Vast growth in harmony with joy <br />Such balance proves grace must apply <br />Valor pleads we purge the decoy <br /> <br />Yet mercantile lies still defend <br />Models plotted to reduce chance <br />Shepherds willing to condescend <br />That in the name of grim finance <br />All individuals must end <br />Every endeavor to advance <br /> <br />So they sow oblivion's seed <br />While denying true creation <br />Bombarding genomes they proceed <br />To execute devastation <br />For these elitists stand agreed <br />We deserve only starvation<br /><br />John Weber<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/malthusian-agenda/
