A giant, standing tall for all to see
Mindless, yet controlling so many
Larger than Finn McCool, its appetite
Even Benandonner wouldn't attempt to fight
A small price, to those who believed
Blinded by its power, greatly deceived
Drinking the life from all its lakes
Siphoning nectar from near-by states
Options removed, while forced to comply
To manage without, too impossible to try
Drained of their energies, machines halt
Dead as night, the day brings in fault
Being trapped, unable to escape
For false security, a costly price paid
