The pills that you take
for maladies they create
to cure you of faith

              Kelly McManus

Where ya gonna go
when the world you knew is gone
should have fired them all

                     Kelly McManus

Poetic license
to be a bird on a wire
waiting to splatter

         Kelly McManus

As the emptiness
grows the unenlightenment
spreads like a shadow

                    Kelly McManus

Poetry warns you
but you only heed the voice
of stupidity
                         Kelly McManus

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

Seems like as a whole
they worship rocks and paper
as their life saver

                         Kelly McManus

When you find yourself
in a prerecorded world
reruns reign supreme

                 Kelly McManus

How nice life would be
if only we all could live
completely fee free

              Kelly McManus

Chirping Banyan tree
Lahaina town on Maui
pleasant memories...Kelly McManus

The sun is shining
while squirrels are climbing
and birds are singing in the trees
with a nice cool breeze
giving a lift to butterfly wings
fluttering around pretty flowers
just a few things to start off
a good day to be alive
and anxious to see
what tomorrow will bring
in pleasantries...Kelly McManus

The most challenging
tests you will have in your life
faith will simplify

                         Kelly McManus

You know their control
needs to be put in that hole
just before you flush

                                    Kelly McManus

So what's the big dream
to somehow own everything
and then raise the rents

                      Kelly McManus

Created equal
in a system that's only
inequality...Kelly McManus

Write these on the fly
so when the fly flies away
can't do a spell check

                   Kelly McManus

I won't be happy
until all the guns and bombs
are outlawed and gone
                                         Kelly McManus

All I remember
from our stop at the *******
bar is bottoms up
                                Kelly McManus

Entrapped and ensnared
kept in their parasite lair
where votes won't save you

                       Kelly McManus

Corporate bottom line
doesn't include being kind
just nickels and dimes

                   Kelly McManus

Where you gonna be
seeing your reflection in
their shoes you just shined

                     Kelly McManus

Suffering begins
with loyalty to the crown
that's what I have found

                Kelly McManus

Some contemplation
what is the inspiration
giving them the boot

            Kelly McManus

Doesn't matter who won
cause we know when it's all done
pop goes the weasel
                                     Kelly McManus

Sure you can trust them
if ending all of our lives
is your intention

               Kelly McManus

We'd all be here if
it wasn't for that ding dang
dog gone solar flare

                   Kelly McManus

They  stumble into
the depths of the human mind
with blind theories

                         Kelly McManus

Give all nukes the boot
with a world class action suit
and watch peace mushroom

                        Kelly McManus

United we stand
with a two party system
and a vast divide...Kelly McManus

Inevitable
where do you think we're going
grave we let them dig

                            Kelly McManus

Meditation is
escaping reality
meditate on that

                             Kelly McManus

Am I negative
know I am just sure that things
aren't as they should be

It's hard to restrain
the thoughts on my brain of all
those negative things

                          Kelly McManus

Just wasting your time
chasing imaginary
dreams of keeping things

                 Kelly McManus

Don't own this world.
Though some people think they do,
think they own you too.

                                         Kelly McManus

Only so many
species can become extinct
till we're on that list

                    Kelly McManus

What divides us all
only those whose minds are small
intolerable

                                    Kelly McManus

Where is the freedom
in programed society
now pledge to their world

                  Kelly McManus

Don't need weaponry
or those who choose to use it
evolved far beyond

                          Kelly McManus

Your parents let them
put their thoughts into your mind
your children in time

                               Kelly McManus

Militaristic
media helps them maintain
their wars on your brain

                      Kelly McManus

We're all self contained
being led by the  insane
right on down the drain

              Kelly McManus

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

Shiver me timbers
you know which flag they all fly
it's Jolly Rodger...Kelly McManus

Ravaging the world
promising to do better
won't change the weather

                 Kelly McManus

What do they protect
single ideology
taking our money

          Kelly McManus

What do they teach you
that we all need to spend more
on weapons of war...Kelly McManus

Inevitable
projected world consumption
the future looks bad

What I remember
it started with my childhood
after that I grew

                      Kelly McManus

I can hardly wait
to tell the kids about bees
now there aren't any

                                    Kelly McManus
