Imagine a tussle
between haves and the have-nots
the government and the industry
between man and nature
Imagine global warming
add to it some rhetoric
some deception, some demagoguery
'science', 'policy', and yes, politics
and what do you have? Hmm Hmmmmmmmmm
Why do I think WW-III
was almost a better choice?!

Imagine a conspiracy
so deep, so high;
a conspiracy hatched decades ago
a conspiracy to deny
Imagine MNCs of yesterday
leveraging their hold on lawmakers 'from the outside'
buying in to inventions of tomorrow
only to suppress them for technologies past,
holding deprived nations to environmental ransom
So what if it costs the earth
The earth is but a place to despoil!
Whoa! Ho! Ho! Hooooo oo!

Imagine a nexus
a nexus between religion, industry and government
(don't you forget the mafia!)
a nexus that enslaves the common man
Imagine slavery reintroduced
slavery hand-in-glove with discrimination,
slavery in schooling, in recruitment
and what do you have, Ow Ow Owww!
You may say we are a free people
but are we really?

Imagine large FIIs joining hands
with P-notes, derivatives and options
manipulating markets
playing a zero-sum game on mutual funds
even as they make their millions
Imagine a trap,
to net all you whiz-kids
switching from equity to bonds
in just the nick of time
Imagine controlling the IPO pipeline,
timing issues to FII interests
Imagine exchange rate manipulation
and wonder how the rich got richer over the poor
even under a commie government
Hey Heyyyyyyy!

Imagine John Lennon
revealing plots in his ballads
getting shot in the open
Imagine what his last words would have been
Imagine his imagination

and sleep over it?
