Imagine a world
instead of living in one
that you don't have to...Kelly McManus

Monetary chains
they give it the name freedom
sad you believe them...Kelly McManus

See the power of God
in the bombs you make
also a glimpse of hell
in their fiery wake
your big mistake
is in using them
not for heavens sake
but your own selfish
ways and means
so at least in the end
you should know where
you and your friends
might spend eternity...Kelly McManus

Done robotically
humans a redundancy
no longer needed...Kelly McManus

There was once a time
man just a fish on the sand
now found floundering...Kelly McManus

On the stage of life
puppet tears splashing about
all the strings attached...Kelly McManus

Past has gone away
when it turned into today
same as tomorrow...Kelly McManus

only some worthless people  
who profit from war...Kelly McManus

I've met so many of them
that they keep sending...Kelly McManus

from the radioactive
goo that once was you...Kelly McManus

Don't need violence
mankind to destroy yourselves
just leave it to science...Kelly McManus

If they have their way
living things we have today
won't live much longer...Kelly McManus

Looked beyond
your eyes
into dreams
you were dreaming
my surprising
in those dreams
beyond your eyes
I looked to see
you were dreaming
of me
dreaming of me
in such a way
I never knew
your dreams
would include
you saying
so passionately
hold me love me
and make my dreams
a reality set free
from only being
in my dreams
which is why
you dream of me...Kelly McManus

What does their PHD
tell them other than
they know nothing
yet they will try
to make something
out of nothing
in order to
convince you
that they know
what they're doing
with your ensuing
future
which they will tell
you comes in the form
of a pill you take
three times a day
and watch your
problems simply
fade away
into oblivion
every time
you refill
your prescription...Kelly McManus

Want a sugar coating
then find another poet
to frost your cupcakes...Kelly McManus

They blindly follow
the soulless who'd  launch missiles
to destroy us all...Kelly McManus

You say you have faith
then take a good look around
who leads your leaders...Kelly McManus

World in the mirror
could it be better than here
reflecting on that...Kelly McManus

The worlds greatest minds
can't seem to find
a cure for war
guess they're
not so great
after all
and I have to laugh
when I see them sign
their big tobacco
endorsement checks
the worlds greatest minds
don't mind
turning on a dime
or doctoring reports
to improve exports
for those whos
moral compasses
always point to worth
at the expense
of planet earth
never seem to find
the worlds greatest minds
in the unemployment line
cause they don't mind
being subsidized by the
think tank gas lines...Kelly McManus

United we stand
then why is there two parties
dividing us all...Kelly McManus

Your children are going
to places unknown
on a need to know basis
they'll never return home
so mothers and fathers
teach them how to march
so in a few years
they can depart
after kissing
their sweethearts
goodbye
they'll be off to fight
to keep the gas
pumps ringing and
diamonds on fingers
blinging while they're
wondering why their
leaders don't get
the electric chair
for what goes on
over; over there...Kelly McManus

World's so desolate
in the middle of nowhere
they won't find us here...Kelly McManus

What happens to
the no ones
that no one knows
that no one
will remember
or hear them cry
no one cares
when no one's left
to tend
to their affairs
no one thinks
about the no ones
until they become
one themselves
and no one
can be found
to put no one
into the ground
and forget
no one was
ever around...Kelly McManus

No one  knows my heart
they never took enough time
while beating me down...Kelly McManus

Their reality
is all imaginary
conceptual crap...Kelly McManus

Mankind you've had time
to use brains instead of brawn
but soon you'll be gone...Kelly McManus

Daydreams and nightmares
as you stare at the mirror
watching yourself age...Kelly McManus

They use the **** tube
to make you believe in them
just ask your children...Kelly McManus

Know that all of them
that force you to use their plans
will never be friends...Kelly McManus

When will we run
into the sun
and burn up into
ashes for all
they've done
just to control
every living soul
say
you don't know
what we
should do
but abide
with those
who are chosen
to rule
but not by you
and soon
we will run
into the sun
since they have
forsaken
everyone
too cash in
our ashes
that blow away
in a wind
of futility
with nothing
to say...Kelly McManus

She is a canvas
to be painted with make up
and put on display...Kelly McManus

Your mind will find you
one day then what will you say
sorry I lost you...Kelly McManus

Here in the confines
of nickel and dime
trying to scrape up
enough pennies
too make a buck
and go out there
into the world
to try my luck
on collecting
enough stuff
to retire
comfortably
cause ain't that
The American Dream...Kelly McManus

Worldwide lights flashing
showing mankind's true talent
for self destruction...Kelly McManus

Your world governments
have formed a suicide pact
waiting to enact ..Kelly McManus

Sage's say
another ice age is coming
due to global warming
melting the ice caps away
shores are taking a pelting
with sea levels rising
and it's not surprising
the land's sluffing away
days are growing darker
sooner than before and

much anymore

to freeze in the cold air
we breathe
never should have
believed they could  
mend this in the end
but that's what
the other sage's said...Kelly McManus

consists of selling your soul
for nothing at all...Kelly McManus

and you let them everyone
nothing left no one...Kelly McManus

World's a cadaver
just waiting to be embalmed
and buried so long...Kelly McManus

World wide web's become
an all intrusive resort
pandering our needs...Kelly McManus

Keep building weapons
for the sake of someone's greed
see you soon I think...Kelly McManus

Who are they too say
who what why when where and how
we should live our lives...Kelly McManus

In a rigged system
elections are directions
they want you to go...Kelly McManus

They sent so many
with their befriend and betray
training that derailed...Kelly McManus

Only control freaks
are keeping us divided
unless we freak out...Kelly McManus
