Analysis of Death before Decay
Families are struggling to pay their rent
and last quarter CIBC made 2 billion profit
The art of masterful deception
conditions societal expectation
of what it means to be
ethical, alive, and free
The pains of perpetual injustice
ache within me
May we all see
May we all see
May we all see
