The herd is bred in synthetic thought
Cultivated in pretense
Dyed in the wool just enough to go unnoticed

By the dabbler, the fly by night, and the dilettante
The hangers on can't sift through the slop
For fear of losing their grip

While you choke down what little authenticity you can stomach

Rank and file

Leather bound and tongue tied
Force fed and fattened for the famine
Tell your kin to hide

Before they're skinned alive

Gorged upon phonetically engineered lines

'Til you've nothing to say
The stockpile of a four-chambered stomach
Leaves you ready

To thrive in the famine

She'd the wool, impostor

Bear your claws
You must be proud


The churning in your gut
Is the gluttony of expression
A carnivorous lust to pick off the stragglers

Leaves you ready
To thrive in the famine


Thrive in the famine
