Long ago
I used a bank
in Orlando, Florida
that changed
its name to
'Freedom Bank'.
I asked myself
'whose freedom,
what kind of freedom
are they talking about'?
I closed my account
and moved to another bank.
This freedom they talk about
is easy to understand.
It is the freedom
to smash and grab.
To steal like pirates.
To lie and distort.
To attempt to control
everything
and everyone.
The freedom to create
mind numbing intimidation
and paralyzing fear.
The freedom to protect
big oil, big pharma,
Wall Street banksters,
their pedophile partners,
their sleazy media outlets
that report the CIA scripts
that are handed daily
to well paid editors.
The freedom to make
the war mongers
pockets bulge with
greasy blood money.
The freedom to genocide Palestine,
Sudan, Congo, Cuba,
and the unwanted poor
all around the globe.
Freedom to make war
anytime and any place
that Mr. Big desires.
The freedom to kill
indiscriminately.
The freedom
to control
and dominate space.
The freedom to destroy
our own nation
by imperiling
public trust
and hope for
a democratic order.
The freedom to ignite
hate and violence
amongst our own people,
to destroy and bury
national unity
and a sense of
common purpose.
This is fascism,
plain and simple.
We know the story,
we've seen it before.
Our task
is to let the air
out of this
so-called
'freedom balloon'.
Reveal the hollow
'freedom' word
for what it
truly is.
A manipulative lie.
The public is ready
to hear this truth.
Will they dare
to share it,
to speak it?
Will they struggle
to save our true freedoms
to speak, assemble,
have free media,
and the right to vote
in fair and honest
elections?
No matter which
political party
is in power?
Will they fight
for a socialist economy,
good jobs and education,
health care, a clean environment,
social security,
rather than
allow the 1%
to bleed us
to death?
