Social Justice

Welcome,

 

Ladies and Gentlemen,

I'm preaching a lesson,

And the merest mention,

Might cause social tension.

 

We live in an age of,

New things, super computing,

Mood rings, school shootings,

Fast Commuting, Mass Polluting

 

If you've got a question,

You should try and ask it,

Try and draw attention to,

Oceans full of grime and plastic.

 

Drastic measures are needed,

Why can't they see it?

We poison the earth,

And then try to seed it.

 

You might choke from the smoke,

Everyday Beijing breathing,

Our enemy is cloaked,

But free eyes see him.

 

Squeezing the last drops,

From the planet won't work because

Before the last's tree's chopped,

We have to plant with love.

 

Now who are these men,

With the Greatest greed?

Depriving people with a pen,

Of their basic needs.

 

The proceeds of their misdeeds,

Flow back to the system,

The corporate creed,

Profits off human divisions.

 

Listen by this time,

We've all had enough of it,

The mind control message,

Still tells me, "I'm loving it!'

 

Our generation is facing

Annihilation in our age

But the politicians on stage

Fight about the minimum wage.

 

Debate over free-speech,

Is finished we won it,

We won't get arrested and beat,

This isn't a G-8 summit.

 

Don't sell your life to the Company,

For a car and a home,

Claim your right to be a somebody,

Your life is your own.

 

I find it sad and pathetic,

People are attracted magnetically,

Or genetically to create,

Something we can't see.

 

A father in threes,

Behaving apologetically

and ethically correctly,

Directly see the universe's apathy.

 

People always have faith,

Governments will save us,

But at a suitable date,

won't hesitate to invade us.

 

Everybody's cynical,

About the media.

Remaining uncritical,

Of internet encyclopedias.

 

Obedience Blind,

Is worth less than nothing.

Read, think, search, find,

Catch the fake world bluffing.

 

There is a solution,

You can break their control,

You heart starts the revolution,

Save your soul.
