sweeping winds
spreading change
across a barren landscape
void of hope
morality
lacking comradery
unity
conscious co-creation –
micro-particulates
throwing the status quo into fits
as the poor unite
against the “Right”
replacing oppression
optimistically
lightly dusted
cosmic radiation meets
karmic justice
revolution battle royal –
sidelined with enhanced spectacles
the view distorts
as capitalism
invades
social reform
seeking to place monetary value
on human life –
alternative air
fills the lungs of the awake
eyes open to the horror
of destroyers
convoyed
far away independent states
wait
for air-raid sirens
and the endless project
clearing rubble
and burying children
for freedom –
feverishly seeking fools
willing to go to the front lines
civil unrest
is placated with modified corn
and fluoridated water
we argue about a ****
and morality issues
while in our (American civilians) name
empire is built
and maintained
“one nation
under god”
means
global superpower in full control
of resources
energy
water
media
and what you think and eat
once again
based on freedom and democracy –
I may see the end yet
at least to this way of life
‘cause if nothing else
one day death will take me
altering my perception of reality
changing me
into a new wind –
