american boy
student of television
product of greed
money blurs his vision
parents planted the seed
always something he wants
new toys never satisfy
something new to flaunt
something new to buy
fueled by the love of money
he becomes part of the system
like bees making honey
he begins to work with them
american man
greedy, fat and tired
secretly worried about your bills
anything not to be fired
can’t you see
and fly out of the hive
you are meant to bee free
you are meant to bee alive.
