DAILY REPROGRAMMING

Violently shaken awake every morning 

the nightmare of yesterday still lingering 

the taste of failure on the tongue 

consuming pig-slop at the table 

waiting for the slave-bus to squeal up to the house 

ready to drive us down to the glorified meat factory 

to undergo our daily reprogramming 


Prison wardens dress in fancy clothes 

dishing out punishment with a smile 

spoon feeding us a steady diet of conformity 

erasing our identity with every bitter bite 

snuffing out every trace of hope or imagination 

these magnificent institutions 

were built by sadists 

to break our spirits 


They segregate us into dozens of isolated cells 

crush our dreams one lesson at a time 

shaming anyone who dares to stand out from the crowd 

pitting us against each other 

like rabid dogs in an underground cage match 

teaching us to feed off the defeat of our struggling peers 

until we become parasites leeching on lust and pain 


They watch us grow older 

slowly learning to hate everyone as much as we hate ourselves

suicidal tendencies reverberating in our decaying brains 

losing sight of the innocence of our youth 

hormones telling us to conquer and fornicate like animals 

while we're already getting molested every waking moment 

by this sickening excuse for a life they gave us
