Anomie
If you divide a population
By the lowest common denomination
The result remains the very same
While the one never fits the frame
When a systematic error is present
Rejection is based on the augment
The disenfranchised craft their purpose
A value to avoid inevitable disservice
With a programmed secession
The cog is forced into recession
A cold, constant affirmation
Consigns a helpless damnation
Nonetheless, the potential remains
In the form that the wheel retains
There are products of the very same
Experienced in receiving similar blame
Despite a life of alienation
Similarity is still a possible salvation
