[ Pop Quiz ] Poem by Garathe Den

Alleviate the consequence
Sacrifice a martyr
Hoodwink the populous
To the genocide of honor
A scapegoat holocaust
All in the guise of ardor
Granting your allegiance since
The founding of the fathers

Bombs burst to celebrate
Serenade the rockets
Wartime on the mind
Explosions to profit
Round up the casualties
Making your deposits
Cultivate a business plan
Monopolize the markets

Castrate the candidate
Crush the opposition
Encapsulate, congregate
Define the definition
Celebrate all the hate
Fooled with prohibition
Emancipate human waste
The starting of tradition

Gold fades to masquerades
While paper is abundant
Inflate to subjugate
The system is triumphant
Too late, greet your fate
Ecosystem all redundant
Salivate to lubricate
The cycle of incumbents

Flu shot the argonaut
All chemicals and compounds
A heart-stop onslaught
Leaving minds all dumbfound
Ink blot, Camelot
Renaissance and pronouns
Shakespeare untaught
As yonder light does fade now

Playgrounds and obstacles
Train children to assassins
Chaos all methodical
Keeping fear a passion
The narrative a farcical
Religion all unfastened
Free-thought antiparticle
Welcome poverty to famine

Maintain supply-chain
Rapid prototyping
Alpha sigma mainframe
Composites uninviting
Solo cannot be contained
Escape the endless sightings
While they quantify the domain
To reign in violent guiding

Time for your pop-quiz
Answers orchestrated
Minds trapped in boxes
Farewell the innovative
Programmed responses
The keeper of the tainted
The system just a toxin
A legacy of hatred
