One man's escapism is this girl's playground;
Another man's power could be my weakness.
But one man's wealth doesn't equal my poverty, just my ambition.
Jealousy is this world's most pragmatic emotion.


No such thing as morally implicative, just the racially indicative;
We trade guilt for the consolidation of our roots –
All of us, a sacrifice of pride for the good of polite society.
Consumers dictated by the collective subversive,
We write our own tragedies and cash in our faith.


Cast your vote so we can hurry up with this;
Selling out integrity for the unbridled bliss of ignorance.
Fill the void of spirit and soul
With a fist full of cash an industry of coal.


Wipe the slate to provide the State with space –
Rented with the option to hate.
These sheep are groomed for slaughter,
But not before education fleeces their fate.


This girl's escapism is another man's profit;
My personal power is the whole world's Achilles heel.
My poverty doesn't equal your charity, trust me: I know.
My pragmatism is a pathology,
And until I'm an honorary Bohemian,


You will label me.
inspired by personal, domestic and international events.
