Parasites Disguised

We hide the most secret dreams of our hearts
in the light of the moon at midnight hour
in toys we carry in the broken carts
and statues of gods we stash in the tower.

His yacht that sails on the wild ocean waves
reveals false integrity of the king
who sells the pretty lie that Jesus saves
and takes all your money on golden wing.

If you give to the cause with generous hand
your investment will return wealth ten fold
so pray to Jesus as you work the land
while his priests drink your wine from cups of gold.

When you tremble in horror of blank death
and seek answers from the man with the book
then sell your soul for the cult shibboleth
you are deceived by the mask-wearing crook.

The broker who sells you company stocks
with promises of wealth beyond your dreams
takes your hard-earned cash and gives you clear rocks
which keeps you entranced with fraudulent schemes.

The quickest way to get rich quick is sell
visions of fabulous wealth if they buy
healing water you took from their own well
then charge them for light that beams from the sky.

You dig from the Earth and work with your hands
to produce food and create furniture
while they profit from packaging new brands
to market scams as wise entrepreneur.

While you work hard to make things people need
parasites disguised as salesmen and preachers
sell your fruit before you can plant the seed
and try to control the innocent creatures.
