The Architect
Only a vain man would think he is the architect and not part of the plan
To believe himself over and above his fellow man
But ask why should a man think he is pulling the strings
Or believe he could be in charge of things
What task or boon did this man promise
In return for vast sums taken from government coffers
What secret rite or touched lips on the hand
Or promise of reward in some fantasy land
A just earthly reward for his banking acts
Is our burden weighed heavy in a stealth climate tax
Climate change is part of the new world illusion
But it can’t be reality without our wholehearted collusion
Hollywood presents the battle raging in front of our eyes
Except they have taught us to cheer vampires without reprise
And like a vampire that comes knocking in the dead of night
Until you open the door this monster is too weak to fight
This is why he knocks quietly bidding you smiling open the door
He doesn’t want your body he desires a great deal more
