societal laws of bondage

societal laws govern who we are
we bleed and die
and for what?
a filthy life of work
I am an artist and that's what I'll be
if only to save my integrity
I am against the threads of shit
that piece together my life
I work for art and it pays my bills
these bills are urges in creativeness
societal whims are shards of glass
that cut and tear my skin apart
I work because I'm told to
I get this money green shit
which causes an evil disease
that cancers my inner self
and makes me die in vain
I am an artist
I am not a robot
I live today to create
I do not live for society
