Unsustainable The gavel to sentence many to poverty and desperation is in our hands As we slam it down the sparks ignite Their very lives the fuel consumed for our convenience To clothe our backs with blood and hopelessness With the sweat dripping from their brow We fill our cups and lift them up as we drink to conquest Work every finger to the bone in hopes of finding our place Amongst the highest thrones unreachable Ignoring the counted innocent lives that are lost Dont question the rhetoric forced from the airwaves Take no steps to clear your mind Ignore the counted cost. Ignore innocent life lost. Ignore injustice Our hearts and minds so numbed to the point of distaste for the truth Cowards eyes will turn away from pressing issues Is this name worth the lie it has become Will this cause justify the crime it has become
