enslavement

enslaved to the dollar,
to the green stuff,
to the stuff
that makes our lives go round,
makes our lives full of hell,

piece of shit in the bank -
we trade our time
to make a living
on a concept, on an idea,
on nothing

our enslavement
keeps us from life,
keeps us from what is real,
keeps us from joy

(but freedom is always found
deep within the mind)
