Respect
No one
Spit
In the judge’s
Face
Give the finger
To the police
Slap
The president
Mistrust
The doctor
Tell the lawyer
To shut up
And the priest
To stop lying
No figure
Of authority
Is what they seem
They don’t
Give a damn
About you
You’re just
Standing in the way
Of their dreams
To more
Power and Money
Only the criminal
Is who he is
Stupid enough
To be
Rather than
To seem
Hypocrites and liars
Hold the keys
To all the prisons
And if you’re
Not an actor
In this world
And dare
To break the collective wall
With the truth of one
You will be crucified
By them all
Labelled
A lunatic
Or a terrorist
Or a pedophile
You will be simply erased
For your most
Heinous unpardonable crime
Living in the Real
Within a Matrix of Lies
