Do you think for them?
Do you act for them?
Do you place them before
the life in your veins?

They will expect this from you,
but will not provide it themselves.

Them, them, them.

Always asking for blood,
always asking for cash,
always asking for sacrifice,
for this nebulous them.

They will take everything you have
never repay you,
and act as if their expectations
are reasonable for all.
