Weaponized Enlightenment for the Youth in Revolt

March in the streets

But I urge you beware

They’ll still butcher the sheep

With the arms that they bear

Private properteers part with

No slave cropper’s share

So this Northern aggression's

Like Freeman’s red scare  

All the colors of wind

Through the head-shavers’ hair

The Guevara adventures

These pigs wouldn’t D.A.R.E.

The Arabian knights

In the grand wizard’s lair

The denaturalized dreamer’s

Recurring nightmare

Of the Stalingrad ghost

Still witch-hunting like Blair

The projects to the precincts’

New modern welfare

The post-trauma disorderly’s

Empty screen stare

The savages they thought

Were waaaaayyyy over there

The debt clock ticky tock

In the heart of Times Square

The 1st world problem-children

Who commonwealth care

Because some barely EAT

And we’ve so much to spare

But these cowherds still like their calves

Medium rare

And the bulls try to sell you

Their laissez-faire snare

Till your trapped in a minimum cage’s

Last prayer

And the only escape

Is upgraded software

Like automaton autobahn’s

In disrepair

In this fascist facade’s

Fragrant breath of fresh air

Just as toxic as stocks

Of the mock billionaire

So I shock ‘em like Tesla’s

Bolt-action Voltaire

And I leave it to you

To go **** it out there
