Pirates And Capitalists

Like a drunken crew on a sinking ship

We are I'll fated at fault

Trampling our brethren

In a self induced stupor of selfishness

Panicked and narcissistic

Plump faces stricken with terror

Regrets bite like salt in fresh wounds

Foretold, mocked and ignored

Never has a punishment been so deserved

As the waves lap at your feet

And your breath turns to gasps

A million "I told you so's" will weigh upon your shoulders

As the spite drips from my tongue

I will curse your very existance

And as the water fills my lungs

I shall reflect on all

A civilisation founded on dead consciences and hearts to match

The anger seeps from me into the black

Sadness consumes as I try to forget

And I will drift beneath the darkness

Finally accepting the fate you have decided for us all

And mother earth will lay her head down for the last time

Exhausted and defeated

This is the end
