All talk no action
Accountability
not even a fraction
Surmount humility
Profound inaction
Abound rigidity
Tall walk short stature
The American way
Work force pays for the
CEOs big payday
Do as I say
Not do as I do
Under the guise of
"we want to improve"
It's so easy to see
their ego's fragility
with the words they use

The rich never get poorer
the poorer get the shaft
the rich buy yachts and villas
as they laugh, and laugh
We've tried taxing the one percent
only to find, that's passed along
to everyone that's not that rich
the same ol dance, and song
Lets tax the corporations
what oh, what, could go wrong?
tax sheltered deliberations
not short lived, but ohhh, so long
The Democrats have no answers
the Republicans, even less
there's never a way to reform
when they're part of all
that's wrong

A million people drinking
Their lemon-flavored tea
A billion bottles floating
Upon a poisoned sea
Within each bottle there's a note
To peeps who find the plastic shell
It's just a slip of paper
From the manufacturer from hell.
The water pipes in old Detroit
Are poisoning kids dead
Because the linings have worn off
And underneath was lead
Pollution will run red as blood
The sun as black as coal
While the fat cats who caused it
Relax on sandy shoals.
How can we prevent this?
Is Recycling the way?
Hasn't helped much that I see
I prefer to PRAY.

No need to worry, they really do care
They'll fight fires with floods, droughts with monsoons
If things go to **** they'll go to the moon
If you get too hot, they'll smoke out the sun
They've even got discounts on water and air!
No worry, no fretting, no fear
They won't tolerate hunger
They'll beat sickness with numbers
They'll hire us all on
To build them a new atmosphere

Goverments, royalty and big corporations,
Slowly over taking every nation,
Poison in the water,
Poison in the food,
It is no wonder we wake in a foul mood.
Follow us blindly like good little sheep, we still your freedoms while you flutter and sleep,
Do not question, only repeat,
Follow our orders and gain our ****
**** away blindly you silly little fools, you will not see us bend the nations rules.
This is our little bubble that you will not burst,
It is your freedoms that we thirst!

i have an Uncle
he steals my money
he steals my ****
and burns it all
in front of me
i have an Uncle
who’s a misogynist and racist
a murderer and ******
a fascist and a terrorist
he stole my Fathers’ lands
he beats my Mother’s womb
he is addicted to white powder
black blood and green gold
he worships forces
to seize control
over every mind, body, and soul
my Uncle belongs in prison
but he owns those too

City lights, I romanticize
the energy for security crimes
by the hegemonic infrastructure
corporations mindfuck ya
Must got some artifact from the Tomb of Ra
Set up in God country
where you you can get peaches by the sack
and its more convenient
to practice environmental hierarchy
No need to provide septic tanks to tenants
when you can live so close to the sun
Go out into the parking lot
where there's county subsidized petrol tar
Fry and egg and toast the bun

Hey buy me a Mac
And a soda pop fizzin
Suprise *** for your body
If you were in prison
Its easy, its cheap
Its a kardashian wife
It will fill you up a while
And shave years off your life
Whats even in it?
Not even god really knows
You gotta get sherlock holmes
To deduce what you chose
Hey kids have some more
They dont want you to finish
Mow it, chow it, and don't stop
till your shaped like grimace
Every combo
Has a number one through six
But they are all number twos
If you can catch my drift
What did you expect
They turned your smile to a frown
Just like the rest of the world
place is ran by a clown
Looks so inviting
Mac's appeal, is so discreet
But they're more about the land
And you are what you eat

some say
the world is out of kilter
others predict
that things are always getting worse
and humankind is doomed
to some terrible
though unspecified
fate
yet others see the second coming
of their god within their lifetime
somehow
‘no future’ seems to be
the fashion of the day
what if
rather than just complain
about how wrong things are
feel sorry for ourselves
and conjure up the end of our days
we take some action
don’t leave decisions in the hands
of corporations and ‘professionals’ and the 1%
of politicians who are puppets
of lobbyists and billionaires
what if
the 99% wake up and cast their votes
in their own interest
rather than that of candidates
who eloquently advocate
simple solutions for complex problems
showing
without knowing it
that they really have no clue
what they are talking about
what if
we decide to elect leaders
who actually drink the water they are preaching
who after they’re elected also walk their talk
stick to their programs
keep their promises
to make
with our help
the world a better place
what if ……

We battled for our freedom
What a shame to lose it now.
We need to fight again.
Make some swords out of our ploughs.
The enemy is within us
Look around, you’ll see them now.
Don’t let the crazies win!
Glory doesn’t come so easy.
Politicians can be ******
***** Grumpy Doc and Sneezy
Are brighter than our Congress.
Equal rights and freedom
Were the watchwords at the time
The founding fathers met
And made the opposite a crime.
Then rich men came along
And showed us how to act like slime.
Don’t let those criminals win!
Glory doesn’t come so easy.
Politicians like things ******
Washington is getting wheezy
When corporations cheat!
They take away your rights
And make sure your vote will never count.
And say they are agreeing
With a bunch of no-accounts.
They’ll wait ‘til you’re not looking
And then legally they’ll pounce.
We’re **** near on the brink!
Glory be to God almighty.
There’s no time for being flighty.
They’ll leave us nothing but our nighties!
It’s closer than you think!

We are taught what to believe as children,
So maybe that's why,
People defend their religion,
With the same fervor they defend their economic system.

Don’t ask me to wish you luck with all your money
You spent your time pretending but who’s kidding who
Now you walk away into the sunset that you finally noticed
Justified by the praise of people who want to be just like you
What echoes in my mind is rejection of the message
There are shadows upon my future as if it even exists
The weather is not a summer breeze but a still day
There is no reassurance for a man who resists
But what did they learn from your gift of callous focus?
Ruining people’s lives was just something you had to do
It didn’t matter because the enterprise was your mistress
You tried to hide it but she was all that was inside you
I thought it was creating a need where there was none
Or impressing someone who wished they had an office
But the ink that couldn’t be recycled recorded a past I hate
I wonder if the man who threw it away has clinched fists
Who would relish in destroying a working man’s pride
Where are you when he has to tell his family he’s lost
How hard can life be when they laugh at all your jokes
Except the ones who know your warmth will turn to frost
A vacation without rain isn’t too much to ask is it?
But how do rapids form waiting for someone like me
I’m willing to stand under the falling tears of heaven
I won’t ask nature to be something it wasn’t meant to be
You have to learn to say thank you but not really mean it
Every pleasantry has a price like every dollar paid is a loss
His wife waits for him to come home knowing his mind won’t
But the old wine is the dividend from him being the boss
I wanted to be everything you have ever dreamed about
But you didn’t know you had to live with another man’s ambition
I wonder if we could move to a small town and leave it all behind
I just want you to believe in me and not someone else’s vision

Our golden world has a twisted spine
It's face is darkened with a shadowed mind
The fault in the stars of human kind
Manipulating each other time after time
Upon our children's corpses with greed we shall dine
When indifference wins, the corporations deny
Like an angered child shreaking "NEIN!"
Here stands the hooded mask of a darkened face
The familiar truth of our beautiful race
Passing slowly, painfully with time
Will go the golden world with the twisted spine

One turns to the other
Speaks in a triangled tongue
The other turns its back
And says what should be sung
One withdraws its claws
The other is likely to pause

Wet for my blood
Wet for my sweat
Hunger over me
Wet for the ache between my eyes
Desirous seams
Tying the noose to the phyxi ****
Does it make you ******* wet?
Grasping the lines of this broken spine
Indebted till death

Walking along the river, side by side
She asked, “Have you forgotten how to sing?”
To which
She heard no reply
Our planet isn't dying
It's being killed
And I will remain unfulfilled
Until I pick up the pieces and help
Rebuild

Waiting in the forest
Rain in my face
Pune needles under my feet
Free& naked, we are here
There are no businesses to fund
No corporations to protest
Only us.
Only now.
Me. You. The dirt & the trees
That's all there is in this moment
