The nation of greed <br />Manifest the nation of need <br />The hand that once fed us <br />Has planted the seed <br />It has started to grow <br />Taking us whole <br />Binds us to the blind man’s path <br />The nation of greed <br />Finds its need <br />Squeezing our sin so tightly <br />Golden reins with diamond veins <br />Upon a sleight of silver bones <br />Make your own choice <br />The box is black <br />Lock it, or pick it <br />Jack it, who cares <br />Pandora’s recession <br />Only choose once <br />So what will it be <br />The land of the free <br />Or the home of the need<br /><br />Christian Connor Schwantes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/planned-obsolescence-2/
