So what are your thoughts
or the thoughts that they gave you
which would you prefer

                                 Kelly McManus

Being pushed around
by punks with guns saddest thing
you elected them

                                   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

Leave it up to them
life expectancy will be
decidedly less

           Kelly McManus

We were born too live
not to be sickened or worse
to be vaporized

                    Kelly McManus

Patriotically
their statues will still stand tall
once they've killed us all

                          Kelly McManus

Running to our  end
because we listen to them
if we don't what then...Kelly McManus

Seems like more and more
the big name companies are
dot gov entities

                     Kelly McManus

Flying fish flying past me
at the sea of Tuscany
sailing a dinghy

                         Kelly McManus

Hello frenemies
how's your suffering today
and then tomorrow

                   Kelly McManus

It's truly a shame
what humanities become
scrape it off your shoe

                Kelly McManus

Political View
as far as the eye is smog
that smells like wet dog
                                          Kelly McManus

We're  collateral
to their interest and control
at least we have souls...Kelly McManus

When will we be free
of the monetary trap
that you all accept

         Kelly McManus

You can't see the wind
moving the trees in the yard
yet you know it's there

Their actions don't speak
of our self preservation
but of our complete
Eradication

                Kelly McManus

People need to state
something more than
war and hate
there's no time to wait
too many times
it's gone wrong
and been
the same old song
repeatedly
banging shields
while trying
to make deals
that will profit
no one
then it's show
and tell
who's got the
bigger weapons bill
when will it ever end
oh yea
when we're all dead


              Kelly McManus

A breeze whispering
into the ears of a tree
don't ever leave me

         Kelly McManus

Operational
the haters are creators
of all of your wars

           Kelly McManus

As the daylight dims
and the evening begins
soon see what night brings

                   Kelly McManus

Natural lighting
colors of flowers blooming
red yellow blue green

                   Kelly McManus

Finding unity
in a disintegrating
world love is the glue

          Kelly McManus

No time remaining
human race chose suicide
by playing with fire

                 Kelly McManus

They have no power
unless you recognize them
as being someone

                   Kelly McManus

You say things have changed
you must like genuflecting
looks the same to me

                        Kelly McManus

Any tenderness
of a savage race as this
seems to be misplaced

            Kelly McManus

Their days are numbered
but since you let then lead you
perhaps yours are too

                         Kelly McManus

Bow down to the man
suit and tie briefcase in hand
fighting your last stand

                        Kelly McManus

So what do you own
that death won't come take away
your name on a stone

                              Kelly McManus

Worlds the way it is
because they've run out of time
capitalizing

                            Kelly McManus

What's it gonna be
living a happy future
or war and disease

It just doesn't make sense
why people are so senseless
that's my two cents worth
                                               Kelly McManus

We'll all be machines
inevitable it seems
so please pass the oil

         Kelly McManus

Teach you children well
when it comes to government
you are on your own

                         Kelly McManus

United we're not
profit margins divide us
that's the bottom line

              Kelly McManus

Are things going to change
way society's arranged
probably not enough

                   Kelly McManus

Yellow butterfly
fluttered to a flower blue
red ladybug too

                 Kelly McManus

Run away from them
they just want to control you
with empty freedom

                       Kelly McManus

Where is tomorrow
after today fades away
is there another

            Kelly McManus

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

Those who profit from
your loss just hired your new boss
who does it cost You
                                      Kelly McManus

Aren't there better things
to do than find more ways
to exterminate

                  Kelly McManus

Just wasting your time
chasing imaginary
dreams of keeping things

                 Kelly McManus

Drawn into a kiss
with all of its loving bliss
like granted a wish

Will the next lab bring
a patriotic disease
setting us all free

           Kelly McManus

Life's the reason time
the rhyme seems like forever
where did the time go

                                   Kelly McManus

Mr. businessman
genocide in  foreign lands
how's your blood money...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
don't hear the birds sing
much anymore
every breath seems
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

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

Power's come too soon
for those who refuse to learn
that the fire will burn
