A little bird sings
you stupid human beings
ruin everything

                  Kelly McManus

How wrong are they now
as much as you'll let them be
with your destiny

                      Kelly McManus

Daylight's flickering
flock of birds fapping their wings
clouds are darkening

                               Kelly McManus

You can only take
yourself when you leave this world
clinging too nothing

                       Kelly McManus

Empty your pockets
fish the pennies from the well
don't buy what they sell

                         Kelly McManus

An angel fish swims
in heaven's aquarium
lit by a warm sun

                              Kelly McManus

For the good of man
without a sword in his hand
a Samurai stands

                        Kelly McManus

Compounded daily
wasted thoughts so many with
little interest

                            Kelly McManus

Trying to survive
amidst many warring tribes
yes  I'm still alive

                     Kelly McManus

It's hard to stay sane
when the world we're in isn't
but we do our best...Kelly McManus

A full moon's rising
in a dark starry filled sky
quietly I sigh

                Kelly McManus

It's you who let them
reign you then slowly drain you
of your very life

                    Kelly McManus

The end of all things
for letting them do the things
that you should have stopped

                          Kelly McManus

Allowing yourselves
to be bought and sold simply
for silver and gold

                         Kelly McManus

We scream we think but
no matter how loud other
worlds don't come around

                    Kelly McManus

One day, a woman
who didn't like
my poetry,
showed up at my
door;
BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG, BANG;
I don't write poetry.
Anymore!

                                               ­                Kelly McManus

I'm never alone
Gods always with me laughing
at our enemies

                           Kelly McManus

Like to say nice things
about fellow human beings
just can't find the words

                    Kelly McManus

So what will it be
greedy forms of sovereignty
live together free

                     Kelly McManus

Sign away your life
to fight for their ideals
found in mines and fields

                 Kelly McManus

Girls with braided hair
tap dancing in clogs windmills
rotating in fog

                         Kelly McManus

Depleting the fish
garbage filling the oceans
as the ice caps melt

                  Kelly McManus

When they read the rules
and computers run the show
there'll be some changes

                      Kelly McManus

Tell your children why
you allow war-mongers to
decide how they die

                     Kelly McManus

Today whatever
tomorrow what will it be
more bad history

                Kelly McManus

Annihilation
is the destination you
allow them to choose

          Kelly McManus

Uh-Oh! Viewership
sinking, better write some fluff,
not cake party stuff.

                                Kelly McManus

Competitiveness
can people grow beyond it
before it's too late

                   Kelly McManus

What's scarier than
the end of the world watching
you follow their lead

                            Kelly McManus

Cause they're idiots
why they know not what they do
you follow those fools

                               Kelly McManus

Competitiveness
doesnt seem to be winning  
the big game for us

                     Kelly McManus

Only thing you own
is the spirit in your bones
looking to move on

                 Kelly McManus

Resources are gone
it's time to promote the one
percent to zero
                            Kelly McManus

All of your concerns
and questions will be answered
by trained announcers

                   Kelly McManus

So what have you done
weapons of mass destruction
held the world hostage

                       Kelly McManus

The world I see is
currently run by gangsters
and thugs not by Love

                                       Kelly McManus

As you mindlessly
follow those who would lead you
to destruction smile

                                   Kelly McManus

I love the elite
common folks will never meet
but then who needs to
                                         Kelly McManus

I can see through you
and the games that you play will
one day undo you

                              Kelly McManus

A world without peace
is one stupid move away
from nothing remains

               Kelly McManus

Idolizing guns
entertaining ones help you
to trigger your end

               Kelly McManus

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

State run media
what are they trying to say
just give and obey...Kelly McManus

What education
only thing that you have learned
follow fools to war

                                 Kelly McManus

I'll see your nukes and
raise a genetically
engineered disease

          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

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

                                 Kelly McManus

I am the future
unclouded by the present
or past memories

The life that you seek
living in a freak free zone
just tweaking your chi

                 Kelly McManus

Peacefully silent
without the usual noise
my mind is at ease

                   Kelly McManus
