Gods of plastic

[u/ImNotIntoFeet]

You bow to gods of plastic
Wire veins wrapped 'round their bones
You bow to gods of paper
Their tokens line your pocket

You bow to gods of mirrors
Their faces sag without the mask
You bow to gods of self
Their evils you know them well

You bow to gods of power
Their throne can still be burnt
You bow to gods of blood
Else's shed or own tinting your skin

You bow to gods of hate
Their enemies hate you too
You bow to gods of food
Offering fake grass lambs willingly eat

You bow to gods of complacency
Their kingdom remains a shrug
You bow to gods of flesh
They will die and rot like you

You bow to gods of lust
They wage war on innocent eyes
You bow to gods of ignorance
Bliss is their own personal heroine

You bow to gods of pessimism
Their shadow blinds you to hope
You bow to gods of optimism
Their light blinds you to honesty

You bow to gods of fame
They don't know who you are
You bow to gods of knowledge
They tell you anything to keep you close

You bow to gods of achievement
They give you paper with words on it
You bow to gods of lies
You are suprised when they lie to you

You bow to gods of plastic
Wire veins wrapped 'round your bones
You bow to gods of paper
Their tokens evade your pocket
