Camphor Dreams

Closet wannabe dreams of aristocracy
Whether born enslaved or totally free
Innumerable childhoods lost to greed
Impressionable lessons learnt too early
… of voodoo world economics

Faustian bargains for pleasures momentary
Respect and honor.. words too perfunctory
Cloaked in layers of moral-toting hypocrisy
Impressionable lessons learnt too early
… of lustful human fallacies

Scrap for credit, shun real responsibilities
Prefer brinkmanship over true diplomacy
Unfeigned quest for all things monetary
Impressionable lessons learnt too early
… of smoking mirrors strategies

Loud claims taint hollow democracies
Flimsy egos drive ravenous bureaucracy
Unbridled joists leave basic ethics buried
Impressionable lessons learnt too early
… of unashamed grasps for glory

.

.
Impressionable lessons learnt too early
… unfortunate drivers of delinquency
