BLACK PLASTIC MAJIK

black tie, corporate majik
responding well to the age of plastic
ancestry leaves stories told
replies only to gifts of gold
reacts to noble, natural things
wizardry under histories wings
sorcery in parliament
paper god does not lament
illusions, tricks from the corrupt
another skyscraper can go up
climb the ladder, reason to live
arise possessed executive
allied chemical association
aligns with sabbath celebration
extortion and viciousness
noon meeting office mass
time worms thru declining years
flexible to superficial tears
potions come from pharmacies
armies built on equities
capable of being molded and formed
ghosts of fire all conformed
scales masked by business law
on all mighty dollars flesh they gnaw
black tie, corporate majik
responding well to age of plastic
