Hunger Of The Gods

Plutocracy

Power
Power is the root
Sets lust afire
All the gods desire

All that is malevolent
Pernicious and vile
Food for the gods
Deceitful and guile

All that is evil
Wrapped up in greed
Money money money
To buy the power you need

Lie for it
Cheat for it
Harm for it
Beat for it

Scam for it
Huck for it
Swindle or
Fuck for it

Gimme the power
Gimme the juice
I got the money
Let’s cut and let loose

I only want more
I need to have power
To watch you all beg
To see you all cower

Money and power
Power and money
People will applaud you
Cuz people are funny

They want to be near
To bask in my splendor
Their lips on my ass
Praise the big spender

Trade for it
Drill for it
Love for it
Kill for it

Laugh for it
Cry for it
Live for it
Die for it

Power hungry
Money hungry
Profit hungry
People still going hungry
Everyday

Materialism, narcissism, money worshippers
Head the words of James Marshall Hendrix
“When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace”

Peace

An Ode To What Is Owed

bill

They come by snail mail every day
And in emails to my phone
They even call me on my cell
They wont leave me alone

I get so anxious at their threats
I reach for calming pills
Relentless chases every day
Those neverening bills

Bills bills bills
That all I ever get
Bills bills bills
Aren’t they over yet?

Bills bills bills
Everyday a threat
Bills bills bills
Keeping me in debt

Even my kids will suck me dry
they pluck my wallet clean
C’mon pops I need some cash
I’m their ATM machine

Credit, debit, cash, or check
How can I pay today
Everybody wants my money
Make them go away

Bills bills bills
Pouring like a flood
Bills bill bills
The Man is out for blood

Bills bills bills
Piled up at my door
Bills bills bills
They’ll take my life for sure

Car payments mortgage payments
Electric bills and gas
Sales tax and income tax
They even tax my ass

Collection agents , IRS
Both federal and state
Mortgage was refinanced with
An unfair interest rate

Bank fees, home repairs
so many bills I’m seething
Late fees and penalties
Plus extra cause I’m breathing

Bills bills bills
Getting bigger all the time
Bills bills bills
Think I’ll have to turn to crime

Bills bills bills
Maybe I’ll rob a bank
Bills bills bills
I can hear the handcuffs clank

Every time I turn around
Someone’s hand is out
Looking for my money
There just ain’t none about

Insufficient funds again
Better find another bank
have no money to start anew
And only bills to thank

Bills bills bills
In such a giant pile
Bills bills bills
They rob me of my smile

Bills bills bills
Creditors want a lot
Bills bills bills
Can’t give what I don’t got

Cashier’s keep acting all sarcastic
Don’t be so unkind
Maybe you should pay in cash sir
Another card declined

Politicians want my money too
They hang around and linger
They tell me I should lend a hand
But all they gets my finger

Bills bills bills
The death of me yet
Bills bills bills
I’ll never be free of debt

Bills bills bills
Make me drink till I get blotto
The only way I’ll pay my bills
Is if I hit the lotto

Happy Father Day to all you other ATM Dad’s out there
