Fear and ignorance
Dark lords all
Favour masks

No carrots, no sticks
All the chocks

Up to us right now

For not having time
To love you

A moment later
Peace returns
Let it be
Everything falls into place
As if it was meant

For these billionaires
To still be
Craving more
May they awaken and find
Peace and compassion

Junk Food: Shadorma

Two course meal
First fear then craving
The news comes

It’s not called remote control for nothing
The control’s remote
