Submission Complete

Submission Complete
Dedication's the price you pay,
the initiated are coddled and caged.
Before you walk, as soon as you crawl,
hope is pointless when you're stuck in the trawl.
F*** the freshman lectures and brandishments,
they just betray impoverished accomplishments,
the puppet masters fear originality,
they tighten up the tethers and they shackle your feet.

Submission complete.
Young recruits never have a chance,
enticed to the drill, admonished to dance.
Early to rise and early to shine,
life is long but the end is nigh.
Break the guilty trammels from yesteryear,
remember how rejuvenation conquers all fears.
Lowly opportunists take commanding roles
and hawk ultimatums so their weakness won't show.
The sad reflection of dead ambition,
you live for nothing, submission complete.
Expectation, indoctrination,
life's damnation, submission complete.
Dying on your feet, submission complete,
a total defeat.
