"capitalist" poems
Lies are lies they deny you the truth. Truth is truth it denies you the lie. when examined closely both are exactly the same. They are interchangeable. People that tell the "truth" to you are denying you lies. How boring and dangerous and malevolent are people full of truth. Choose your religious truth--- Christian truth. Islamic truth. Judaic truth. Vedic Hindoo truth. Buddist truth. Capitalist truth. Socialist truth. Free market truth. Managed market truth. Monarchist truth. Democratic truth. Militarist truth. Liberal truth. Fascist truth. People that tell lies to you are denying you truthfulness. How boring and dangerous and malevolent are people full of lies. Choose your lies. Christian lies. Islamic lies. Judaic lies. Vedic Hindoo lies. Buddist lies. Capitalist lies. Socialist lies. Free market lies. Managed market lies. Monarchist lies. Democratic lies. Militarist lies. Liberal lies. Fascist lies. Truthfulness is neither truth nor lies. It exists on its own. Truthfulness is free of the Duality of Truth and Lies.. The individual Isness exists in the state of Separate and Merged with the Isness of the Universe. Permanent Mindlessness is unconditional love--just ask any Dog or Cat. The Mind separates us from the Isness of the Universe. The Mind creates Duality which is governed by Conditional Love. The individual Isness creates Unconditional Love(Consciousness) which is outside Duality. Mind cannot create Unconditional Love. The individual Isness cannot create Conditional Love. If you have Mind/Conditioned Identity in your head you cannot love Unconditionally. If you do not have Mind/Conditioned Identity then you can only love Unconditionally. If you have Mind and Conditioned Identity  you cannot be Merged with the Isness of the Universe. If you are Mindless and Conditioned Identityless you are merged with the Isness of the Universe. Conditional Love says I love you on Condition I can hate you. Unconditional Love says I will never stop loving you but I may dissapprove of your actions but I will never hate you because I cannot hate.. Conditional Love is selective--it only applies to Family and Friends and fellow GroupMind members. Unconditional Love is not selective--it applies to every living being--human or otherwise. Unconditional Love does not see people as Friends and Enemies. Unconditional Love sees people as individual Isness incarnated in bodies. Humans are deceived by the Mind into believing that the Conditioned Identity is their true Identity and deceived by the Mind into believing that they should leave the running of their brains and therefore their lives to the Mind. The individual Isness is a small but equal individual independent, nameless,formless,genderless,autonomous portion of the Isness of the Universe that people controlled by Mind are taught to call a Soul. The Soul is just another Mind created Conditioned Identity. The Atman is just another Mind created Conditioned Identity. The individual  Isness is formed from a small but equal portion of the essence of the Isness of the Universe and incarnated in a Human Body of either Gender-_male or female of any skin colour. www.beyondenlightenment.co.uk

And all your heros are gone, but you refuse to take off the mask. A loudmouth, a capitalist, with greasy hair and a golden toothpick, he is your enemy he is your oppressor and he sits upon a throne of coal and blood with armed security and a nation built for him, to protect him and his money, a police state, pat downs on the corner, murdered in the street, your daughters gotta eat. He grows fatter and fatter still, he loves complacency, he loves contentment, he invests heavily in both. He knows we are strong, he knows we are many, he knows he must divide us to win, he knows we're his greatest weapon, so he created Fox News, he created TMZ, stealthily, we didn't even notice, he created NPR and KVIE, he gave them masks that look like ours. They look poor, they look starved, they look like us, but they have a different master. Our master is the earth, our master is our coworker, our neighbor, our mailman, our dishwashers, our bus drivers, our minimart clerks. Our masters are not the TV, our masters are not the radio, our masters are not the New York Times, they are not National Geographic, they are not BP, they are not our principals, our administrators, our policemen, our CEOs, our investors, our bankers, our insurance providers, these people hate us, they hate us because they can't squeeze blood from a stone, and the rivers are running dry, the factories are standing still, the people, our masters and our friends, they're in the streets, they're shouting "BLACK LIVES MATTER" they're shouting "NO JUSTICE NO PEACE" "NO MORE WAR FOR OIL" **** THE POLICE" "DOWN WITH THE 1%" and soon and soon, The False Gods will grow so fat and we'll have nothing left to eat but them, and on that day we'll sit down to dine and it won't be civilized and it won't be pretty, their blood, our blood, will feed the rivers and their flesh will feed our hungry children and their money will burn and warm our chilled bones but we can't wait, we can't wait for this to happen because everyday they grow stronger, we grow weaker and the river becomes dryer. The Bourgeois is our enemy, they say 'All Lives Matter' they say 'Work Hard and Your Dreams Will Come True' BUT THEY LIE

☮ ☮ ☮ **Society needs more Social Justice. Humanity needs peaceworkers.** Peace and Social Justice must be promoted aggressively. There are inequities that must be addressed. Power is not equally distributed. Neither are resources or wealth. Neither are poetic gifts or vision equitably distributed. Unearned privilege is rampant. Poetry must confront this global crisis of capitalist exploitation and manipulation. Poetry must speak to the masses. Poetry must radicalize and inform consciousness to new levels of social change. Marginalized citizens must be empowered. All ****** gender-based, racial, religious, age-based, homophobic, xenophobic, and gynophobic bigots must be brought to see in a new way through our poetry. Community building and local empowerment are of the order. Our poetry must be global in scope – yet rooted and grounded in local community empowerment. Selfless acts of service to promote and increase Social Justice are needed. Lives selflessly devoted to establishing social justice are called for. Our poetic lives must be laid on the altar of the dis-enfranchised and unrepresented. We, as consciously aware poets, must advocate and speak out for those who have no voice. We, as poets, must, through stirring words of Social Justice, embody through our radical verses the burning hope of a just and sustainable future. This future must become increasingly collective as formerly marginalized consumers become empowered community-builders  –  through our poetry. As poets of the sustainable future we will empower and inform. Our poetry must collectivize, entitle and enslave. We must speak with ONE VOICE: the voice of change and social justice. Our words will rise with healing in their wings and lift whole communities from despair to radicalized self-awareness in communities filled with strident, intolerant and maniacal practitioners of PEACE & SOCIAL JUSTICE. All poets who do not lay their entire creative and lyrical selves on the altar of struggle to bring CHANGE and SOCIAL JUSTICE will be LIQUIDATED by our own EMPOWERED POETRY. IN THE END WE WILL WRITE A PURE POETRY OF SOCIAL CHANGE, ALL IN CAPS, AND THIS POETRY OF SOCIAL JUSTICE AND EMPOWERMENT WILL BE READ OVER THE GRAVES OF ALL SELL-OUT, CORPORATE, FASCIST, SNITCHING, SELFISH, UNEMPOWERED AND UNEMPOWERING TRAITORS AND ENEMIES OF SOCIAL JUSTICE.  IN THE END THERE WILL BE NO PUNCTUATION OR EVEN WORDS ONLY PURE IMAGES OF CHANGE + VISIONARY COLLABORATION IN SOCIAL TRANSFORMATION/MAYBE SLASH MARKS/OKAY MAYBE EXCLAMATION POINTS TOO BUT ONLY THOSE ! WHY? BECAUSE THE ONLY GOOD POET IS A LIVING POET WHO HAS LIQUIDATED EVERY FALSE POET NOT COMMITTED TO THE STRUGGLE FOR SOCIAL JUSTICE ! LONG LIVE POETRY IN ACTION THROUGH CHANGE! WRITE/SPEAK/AGITATE FOR  SOCIAL JUSTICE  & EMPOWERMENT ! **POETRY IS STRUGGLE☻ STRUGGLE IS CHANGE☻ CHANGE REQUIRES SOCIAL JUSTICE☻ SOCIAL JUSTICE BRINGS PEACE☻ PEACE BRINGS WAR☻ WAR BRINGS CONFUSION & DEATH☻** (SO DON’T BE CONFUSED)

Millennial Bravado
On a misty city morning still resolved to early rising I came upon a heap of corpses They were child sacrifices made to satisfy the fancy of Christian capitalist and pagan and a jolly old fat man who lives at the North Pole They might have been growing tall in a field or on a hill drinking sunlight breathing love songs in answer to caress of wind But the silent pines didn't seem to mind their broken bodies one last gift filling my chest with fragrant air and longings for fields and hills on a misty city morning

I'm a Tree Huggin', Soy Chuggin', I won't eat no meat I'm a vegan of convenience, Still, there's leather on my feet I don't believe in lots of things I'll protest and attack But you won't find me out in front 'Cause I'll be in the back I give money to my causes Save the whales, electric cars But I'm not one to lead the fight "Cause I don't like the scars Bricks get thrown alot you see And those things ****** hurt And I'm not a happy camper When there's blood upon my shirt I won't eat seeds of any sort They get stuck in my teeth My clothes are all from LL Bean Except what's underneath Way back in the sixties I lived communaly We ate only what the earth gave up We didn't watch tv As years passed by, our voices died Our causes became much rarer We sounded more like Manilow Than Phil Ochs or Tom Lehrer I choose fine wine over wheatgrass juice I like leather and wear silk I no longer go and get the goat So we can have fresh milk I'm a Tree Huggin', Soy Chuggin', I won't eat no meat I'm a vegan of convenience, Still, there's leather on my feet I don't believe in lots of things I'll protest and attack But you won't find me out in front 'Cause I'll be in the back I've changed lots since the sixties I'm a capitalist blood hound If I said I'm a true vegan My board would see me drowned I used to wear just cotton Hemp and caftans and blue jeans Leather shoes and belts and jackets Were just not part of my scene My friends, well, they grew up And others stayed in touch The ones with money see me The others not so much I used to go out jogging Through the park in puma shoes Now I workout in a private gym Wearing nikes and with my crew You see I'm still a vegan When it suits me, don't you see My new girlfriend likes organic And she's only twenty three There's forty years between us Though I've done it all before When my girlfriend is not with me I am a carnivore I support all of her causes Though most things I don't attend I'll be a vegan of convenience Until our courtship ends Who knows, what then will happen Will I eat Tofu or some chops I know which way I'm leaning We'll see how that one drops Like I said when we first started I am a vegan, so I am But instead of eating quinoa I'll stick to eggs and ham. I'm a Tree Huggin', Soy Chuggin', I won't eat no meat I'm a vegan of convenience, Still, there's leather on my feet I don't believe in lots of things I'll protest and attack But you won't find me out in front 'Cause I'll be in the back

I'm a Tree Huggin', Soy Chuggin', I won't eat no meat I'm a vegan of convenience, Still, there's leather on my feet I don't believe in lots of things I'll protest and attack But you won't find me out in front 'Cause I'll be in the back I give money to my causes Save the whales, electric cars But I'm not one to lead the fight "Cause I don't like the scars Bricks get thrown alot you see And those things ****** hurt And I'm not a happy camper When there's blood upon my shirt I won't eat seeds of any sort They get stuck in my teeth My clothes are all from LL Bean Except what's underneath Way back in the sixties I lived communaly We ate only what the earth gave up We didn't watch tv As years passed by, our voices died Our causes became much rarer We sounded more like Manilow Than Phil Ochs or Tom Lehrer I choose fine wine over wheatgrass juice I like leather and wear silk I no longer go and get the goat So we can have fresh milk I'm a Tree Huggin', Soy Chuggin', I won't eat no meat I'm a vegan of convenience, Still, there's leather on my feet I don't believe in lots of things I'll protest and attack But you won't find me out in front 'Cause I'll be in the back I've changed lots since the sixties I'm a capitalist blood hound If I said I'm a true vegan My board would see me drowned I used to wear just cotton Hemp and caftans and blue jeans Leather shoes and belts and jackets Were just not part of my scene My friends, well, they grew up And others stayed in touch The ones with money see me The others not so much I used to go out jogging Through the park in puma shoes Now I workout in a private gym Wearing nikes and with my crew You see I'm still a vegan When it suits me, don't you see My new girlfriend likes organic And she's only twenty three There's forty years between us Though I've done it all before When my girlfriend is not with me I am a carnivore I support all of her causes Though most things I don't attend I'll be a vegan of convenience Until our courtship ends Who knows, what then will happen Will I eat Tofu or some chops I know which way I'm leaning We'll see how that one drops Like I said when we first started I am a vegan, so I am But instead of eating quinoa I'll stick to eggs and ham. I'm a Tree Huggin', Soy Chuggin', I won't eat no meat I'm a vegan of convenience, Still, there's leather on my feet I don't believe in lots of things I'll protest and attack But you won't find me out in front 'Cause I'll be in the back

Freedom At Kannyakumari “The destiny of India is molded in her class-rooms” Kothari had no confusion; no vision on the fusion- of the East and the West, as Swami Vivekananda’s vision, “The comingling of the East and the West will dawn a new Era”. As tissue culture, transplantation or cloning we Indians imbibe the Western Culture; or as G.M cotton or brinjals,or tomato Indians are produced, transmuted destroying the very indigenous genus for material growth. Ayurveda is preserved not in Sanskrit but in English letters, now ! Followers of Lord Maccaulay as obedient servants, by experiments,bring up Indians only in blood and colour- in every other respects-Europeans (using imperialist - capitalist media); poor sycophants ,for a visa, the Indians: now , turn to the West for light, leaving the bright light under the Urn; cry for a way of progress, safety and food; and beg:once self reliant nations as cells of a body No retrospection or introspection, only putrefaction, hence , no resurrection. On August 15th ,at Kannyakumari beach , beside me, a bare body of a woman(my sister?) lay asleep; I witnessed at the starry cold mid-night: the surging sea spitting frothing snow upon the black rocky ******* protruded, greasy, mossy. bare but fair , ever young at the feet of Bharat-matha. Wet in the salty breeze , from the foul smell of death, I walked and walked searching shelter, but no room for a single son with meagre wealth. The tourism net -workers with the thirst of mosquitoes hummed around me with highly rented room offer- source of tourism exploitation- I bargained, till, morning red balloon rose up in the Eastern horizon cleaving the vapours of the sea, when , thousand tongues chanted Gayathri; then , the locals thronged around the woman on the shore; somebody among them, staring blear eyed as the police jeep and the ambulance arrived , bewailed “O! Gayathri, my darling, O! Gayathri…” Unsoothed. The chanting and the yelling dissolved in the breeze that passed by the Vivekananda rock, afar, south

Because the thirst wouldn’t simmer; it ruptured cities into boils, turned cultures into armies, an armageddon of cheeky stubborn Irish Catholics and thick veined Germans couldn’t imagine a world without their stout hearty headed pint. Because white dry protestant angels thought crime existed in a vacuum, in a filthy saw-dusted saloon, the hub spawn of evil. Because twice as many of those saloons were ******* by unlicensed blind pigs, not through free swinging doors on the streets, but in the domestic sphere; in the dark crept crevices of household sanctuaries.   Because bootlegging capitalist princes turned the industry into a stenchy liability with their home brewed distilled poisons. Alky cookers wrapped the commodity fetish and dubbed it moonshine. Moonshine – spirits for the poor and blind. Because this social reform was a moral reform lost in the oblivion of politics, lost in the timeliness of progressive spring-cleaning referenda’s. Because the ragged, toothless class had to be scold, striped clean of their traditional barings, because wisdom is everything and they’re spirits ran vilely wild.

Why the 18th Amendment was a Joke
Look at us, The thirst for green is disgusting We exploit the lands which aren't ours We bury the children with so much potential in their eyes So that we can make a buck or buy a cheaper HDTV Why should a capitalist care If a Brazilian child is dying in their mother's fragile arms, It's one less mouth for the world to feed And less food for them means more to feed our obese bellies They say we have evolved so much in the past millennium When in reality we are exactly the same but with new inventions And more toys yet we still complain It's always been about power Yet the world is in a worse condition because equality is a non existent term Just like freedom of speech And the good guy of war Don't you see what is going on? Yet we prefer not to see because it is too depressing Or doesn't affect our daily lives Look at the inequalities of our own country There are men women and children starving on the street Our privileged leaders send those away who only wanted a chance to fight for something that nobody should believe in. Keep turning a blind eye and see where that leads you in your life Because remember you aren't taking anything with you Except your memories on the day in which you die

Thirst for Green
We've got a red white and blue bloodlust For the drips from the slits in the wrist Of Ms. Statue of Liberty Miss America Covered in capitalist pigs blood camouflaged as corn syrup whispering bitter somethings to the diabetic nation that broke her sweet-heart They'll give her something to fill her wounds And add insult to Self-inflicted injuries in flashes of light our arrogance under-shadows our destiny She’ll overcome us in her apotheosis   She’ll come back around harder next time When she finally comes for us

In Her Apotheosis
He watched and controlled, A century later, He got bored. So he called his Capitalist friend, "Make the poor more poor till they become extinct, and the rich more rich." Said the brother. and the capitalist replied, "We need them, the ***** poor ones." "Why?" Asked the big brother "Because I am slavery dressed in a modern outfit."

Big Brother and the Capitalist
I'm sad and alone and everything I touch turns to gold, but that's the life, amirite? Money's the only matter that matters and some kids three worlds away are getting kidnapped and killed for quotas while these kids are worried about their quote of the day. And, by kids, I mean little girls at age three being sold on the streets and in between sheets in countries that aren't all that far away, and little boys whose coloring pages are filled with explosions and guns cause it's literal war they're waging. But down the way, parents are posting posters in their children's rooms prompting inspiration: it's something about peace and love-- I mean, that's what they all say. Well, I've made my peace with the pieces of this prayer, a priest standing golden over me as I throw my diamond-encrusted hands to the air and scream, "Someone save me." But these people don't care. I am a man of gold with a heart of stone and no one cares because, frankly, Neither do I. Statistically speaking, everyone in the States clings to the belief that if they just earned an extra fifteen percent wage annually, then they could live happily. But, darling, when everything you touch turns to gold, statistics don't quite fit the diagnostics. I am the outlier, the outright liar, the purveyor of pride that cost me my life but who cares? I mean, I've got my money. I've got my money in a capitalist country that feeds off circulation and circumstance that leads brains to short-circuit short-cut economic politics and slaughter chances, rather than enhancing the value of a life that money can't add up to. Welcome to the slaughterhouse. Welcome to the tolerance of intolerance of humanity. Welcome to the closing scene, where we can be seen on the Globe, on William Shakespeare's pun-fully named stage cause that's what all the world is, and so's this gold. It's a play, cause some day the curtains will close and all my props will remain on the stage and I am sad and alone with my heart still fo stone but without any gold. I've lost my touch, and without this cash I'll be nothing but a ten second news flash announcing to the rest of these underpaid actors that I've been knocked off my throne. I don't think I was ever a king to begin with, just a man who could forge fool's gold.

Currently there are: Thousands of cars zooming down the highway at breakneck speeds, Millions of lights illuminating the dreary road, With the power of a hundred valiant steeds, Causing the cement to corrode and erode, Thousands of fossil fuels burnt merely to transport other fossil fuels, Pollutants filling the air and altering our environment, But these are the worlds most precious jewels, All to feel the capitalist tyrant. But hey... At least I have air conditioning in my F150 while heading to set off Chinese fireworks while celebrating the 4th of July. The American Dream.

The American Dream
/ although i'd love to go back to the cinema of, bell, book & candle from the 1950s in early technicolour... can i? don't think so... trapped the rekindled narrative of myth... i wish i could, do the supra-capitalist, drunk at 5 in the afternoon, and still pulling the strings... early nostalgia of what was late nostalgia of what was 19th century german concerning ancient greece... i chose 17th century france... because? because... why could it ever be england as primo optio?! am i either that daft, or as much stiff for waiting for eddie zee theerd?! well? well done, you guessed my thinking: write a fictive narrative, it'll last longer, like a photograph. immigrant song, led zeppelin - probably the only grand theatre plus,           of thor: rangarok; i still don't know where those M16s came from...   and?       given they used a led zeppelin's song? i honestly, don't want to know. i was honestly going to favour a black sabbath oeuvre, using only solitude    by the witches' congregation ask, aspect, or subsequent, marketing ponce scheme.

No, I'm not a capitalist, a socialist or a communist . I'm not a racist, a fascist or a nationalist. No, I'm not an idealist, a pacifist or a humanist. I'm not a Buddhist, a Taoist or an atheist. No, I' m not an activist, a conspiracist or even an anarchist. Neither elitist nor philanthropist. I am just me, there is no twist. I am simply me, happy to exist, sick of symbols and ideological mist. Open your heart and you will see, it is not me or you, it's we. Symphony in the cacophony. Let's tell the king while on his knee, I am me and we are free and that is how it's gonna be. You have gone too far, oh mighty Czar, but we can break any bar, ist das klar? We are humans, we insist, and from your labels we desist. We are people and we're ****** oh we promise, we'll resist. I am me and I am we. I am you and so is she. We are the leaves of the tree, but what will fall is tyranny We are I, my oh my, and we shall fight until we die. We are I so we can fly. We are I and we stand high. 23/04/12

How do we create a system in which women are really free? Is that we want undefined freedom where we have no men and we hve what lesbians have? Or do we want the same equal rights as men? We as feminist cannot be so narrow minded +Liberal feminists want women to have the same equal rights as men. Are they not the same women who want their men to be all-male and masculine? +Marxist/socialist feminists focuses on investigating and explaining the ways in which women are oppressed through systems of capitalism and private property. According to Marxist feminists, women's liberation can only be achieved through a radical restructuring of the current capitalist economy in which much of women's labor is uncompensated. For these women, do not realize that they are the ones who chose to became mother's and end up with the 'unpaid compensation' of taking care of the child that comes along. Radical feminism blames men entirely on the exploitation. If there was no men, would we have been as happy as expected if we were to really revolutionize this system, of oppression, capitalism,discrimination and exploitayion. As women, it is always right to fight for what we believe in. But it is the truth that we should fight for, justice and peace among men. Exploits made my men over years have cause women, who are considered'by nature' to be subject class , to think that they are really less than men. ?In truth, we are made from the same flesh and organs just as them. Is it not us females who bleed once a month, bears children and cope with the problems that comes with the family we have to grow and breed? We are strong enough but at the end of the day we need someone to submissive to and that should only ne the lawful wedded husband that the Lord himself has granted us with. We are called to be strong but submissive when the time and place comes as there is a time and place for everything understand. Strong and submissive should be our mission without being confused by men and that is the type of feminism we should live by.

What Cuts to Education Spending Do to Kids in a Global Capitalist Cesspool of Gory ****** Poverty, and Drug-Addicted Killing Sprees
Once I lost you Once I tossed you You never said a word I never could have heard Miracle you bore A refugee in the wreckage Sharpening your wings Withstanding dangerous oppression Young being, incomplete being Trying not to succumb To your own capitalist appropriation Eminent commodification Implicating your body and mind Who remained unscathed? Who wreaked the havoc? Just...so many wings could gain wind In this cage, lacking space System simply cannot withstand Cost of everyone's liberation Convenient systematic predilection Where some are never meant to fly Miracle you bore A refugee in the wreckage Sharpening your wings Withstanding dangerous oppression How can any wings soar When the trail of their shadows Hide systematic traps for our failure To ensure only a few course the skies Liberation is not meant to be Just yours or mine No commodity for private consumption Its usage, embrace, and appropriation Has universal implications A radical transformation that seeks to complete a human being Emblematic of an ideological reconceptualization A revolutionary new understanding of being human A re-authentication of our own liberation Purely predicated on that of others

Re-Authentication of Liberation
The US will drive like the rest of the world, And declare peace on the Middle East for all times ahead; Good films and books will be successful; And punk’s not dead. Justin Bieber will bottom all the charts; Pink Floyd'll be back together; Bond will like his martinis stirred, not shaken; Race, gender, class and orientation will be nonsense words; And there’ll be no sequels to Taken. Teenagers will fawn reading Tolstoy and not Meyer; Old, black men will order the "extra whip, non-fat, caramel latte, venti;" Art galleries will be closed to people over 21; And poets will feature in the Top 20. There will be equal jobs and opportunities for everyone; Humans will give up on colonising mars and the moon; We will bring down the imperialistic, capitalist, racist, misogynistic hetero-patriarchy; And you will love me, tonight at noon.
