You rally around me like a god -
Debasing yourself before me; in desperation, as you would
A master, the overarching purpose of your graft.
I unlock doors and uphold the state - I feed you, I am literacy and health.
I am alive in the walls of your primitive homes, degenerate establishments, hedonism.
You are a debauched, mutated cousin of the ape - who lacks your delusion, or your hypocrisy.
And you worship me within your tall brick alters, depositing your dignity.
In a rush to procure the most of my essence - you are a harlot, low and deplorable.
Performing for me, in a rush.
The miner’s daughter in her brassiere.
The city men in suits and ties are my saints, spreading my mantra.
Me; I am the making of your own craving - you bestow upon me meaning, insulation.
I am a requirement, as the result of your own Bronze Age foolishness.
Your incompetent forefathers.
And in your profound arrogance
You assume yourself autonomous of me.
