The Cynic
How dare you attack what you do not know!
Poisoning the shoot before it gets a chance to grow
Condemn me - Insult me - with those anarchic cries
Oh how I pity you with those edited eyes
I turn to see your faded repertoire
Failed lives - Failed dreams - that is what you are
So before I give you another chance to speak
I will show you an arsenal - my homogenised feet
Marching to the beat of a secret nation
This is not Armageddon - but I will show you devastation
Of your mass culture- mass art - and robbery
That you sing with pride - inverted snobbery
If only you could palate - the higher tastes -
You will see your lies - the ultimate waste
And before you contemplate a reply
I'll summon Hades (one- among - many) Allied
My allies are artists and their many creations
With control - power and imitation
That created the words with which you speak
Drowning in verbs from the economic leek
Stemmed form the firmament of a modern industrial nation
As it keeps your soul in eternal subjugation
Ungrateful child born of ungrateful parent
That drooled over the pages of THE REPUBLIC - spent
Ideology - Status quo - Society - just other inventions
Built with letters (the artist needs no mention)
Even though I am a writer of Juvenile canention
I will you my world (the artist needs no mention)
Artists gave you the word with which you speak
Artists wrote the tags on your stolen feet
Artists gave - once - some good pieces of art
And that was what made the start
Of a transnational - corporate - cultural revolution
Bringing the antidote - the solution
To fight both the disease and diseased
You - who spit your venom and even seem pleased
As they cause an artist - undefined - pain
When they try to redistribute power - money and fame
How dare you attack what you do not know!
Because the artist - must - needs to - Grow.
