Where do we go from here?
media taken over - Sinclair broadcasting
Political parties taken over
the lobby
now pushing the agenda
courts largely gone
jails
teachers on strike
books so old
falling apart
masking tape on them
'entitlement reform'
social security
medicare
medicaid
what's left of welfare
all to be
taken down
No corporate welfare
don't call military
'defense'
it's offensive
they want our
dumbed down kids
to go die
for
resource extraction
stop the killing
No little guns
or big guns
No corporate control
rolling the dice
for world domination
before Russia
and China
form a
wall of defiance
getting hot
it hurts so bad
to see the daily
cultural disintegration
people imploding
and exploding
everything falling apart
saw this story
in Vietnam,Yugoslavia, Iraq,
Afghanistan,
Libya, Honduras,
Congo,
Syria, Ukraine
among others
destabilize
controlled chaos
by Mr. Big
No corporate domination
They are bringing
it on home now
breaks my heart
see it coming
ear on railroad tracks
hear the train
everyone
going onto rez
population
thinning time
money trumps
everything
sanity, goodness,
protecting Mother Earth
honesty
fairness
$$$ is a sickness
No corporate lies
The world
these greedy
psychopaths
want to take us into
is a ring of fire
like Gaza
I can't
go along
with the show
and you shouldn't
either
change
in the streets
can you spare
some change?

I especially love the layers of meaning in this phrase:
ReplyDelete"change
in the streets
can you spare
some change?"

I was listening to music while writing this and put lines from 3 different songs into it - the last bit from new Ray Davies (The Kinks) song called 'Change for Change'. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QvgsrxMyhz0
