"sociopolitical" poems
Give a Centimeter, taken is a Light-Year. Ask for an Inch, you're lucky to get a Centimeter. Buy an Ounce, get a Gram. Sell a Gram, taken is an Ounce. Corporations are the ****** dealers of modern society: Subsidized and Multi-Faced Financial fronts for the Military-Industrial-Propaganda Complex. They seek our cognitive tranquilization. They seek our placification. They seek our pacification. They seek our inurement. They seek our inurnment. They're in it for their own profit and that of their friends, as well as the perpetuation of sociopolitical-economic stratification; not the happiness of the customers, or anything so ******* quaint. - "Satisfaction Guaranteed" doesn't mean **** in this materialistic world. A corporation saying 'Satisfaction Guaranteed' is like Monsanto saying it's milk is Organic; A paper thin lie designed to get your money out of your hands and into their coffers forever. Of course, their "Satisfaction" is "Guaranteed"; they have our money now, and all we have useless, expensive toxic waste. (Literally and figuratively.) The Swinepeople love that **** of theirs to roll around in. The overwhelming nature of our Crapitiolism is underwhelmingly superficial. - "Time to bring it down again. Don't just call me pessimist; try and read between the lines. I can't imagine why you wouldn't welcome any change, my friend." -Tool, Aenema

Mass Placification [Satisfaction Guaranteed]
Tonight, at work, I asked 10 people if they knew of what had happened at Los Angeles International Airport (henceforth: LAX) not 30 hours earlier. Only 2 had heard of it. One, because a cousin was traveling that day and, the other, because a regular at his restaurant also had family who had left LAX just before it happened just in time to be stopped with the rest of the traffic for two and a half hours. I find that sort-of strange; information, even if misinformation spreads too quickly and ubiquitously now-a-days with our cell-phones, internet, satellite radio and media sensationalism for a mere 1 in 5 to have heard of this, and even then, only because of Family's accounts. Apparently, he acted alone, wearing military-like clothes and walked into LAX at about 9:20 AM PST on November 1 carrying a very cost-effective Military and Police AR-15 concealed in a bag with over a hundred spare .223 rounds and a note with words of sociopolitical dissent and an apparent intent to **** several Travel Security Agents. He mortally wounded a single TSA agent, after two shots and non-fatally wounded at least a few other people including two other TSA agents. This thorough chaos warranted sopping traffic, air and ground alike for over two hours, until his apprehension after being shot in the mouth and the leg by valiant officers of the LAXPD. Luckily, the Police had trained for "this exact situation not three weeks before" Wait, what was that? Oh, that's.. impeccable timing. Anyway. Few know about it and even less discuss it even a day and a half after it happened only 550 miles from here. I figured it'd be a bigger deal than this. What is up with this? It's rather srtange... quite queer indeed. The Suspect is in the hospital for his wounds and is now awaiting trial for ****** and Inciting Violence in an International Airport. Many people of Office cry out for the death penalty, even here in California, where we like to think we've "grown past that" The Travel Security Administration was established in the wake of 9/11 It is a branch of the Department of Defense. It took me much digging to find all this information on this event. Here it is for any who seeks it.

Inspiration fails me, my pen refuses to move from its place on the page, leaving a splotch the size of the thoughts I wish to write. I wish I could fill ten notebookes with my sociopolitical nonsense and whinings of every trivial romance in my young life. I want to dry up pen after pen, wake up hungover from writing late the night before, cover each and every slip of paper in alliterations and onamonapias. If only I could be a real artist, one who carries her notebook and pen to libraries, coffee shops, and movie theaters, finding inspiration in ever face and street corner. But no. I'm just sitting here, pen in midair, staring at a blank page.

by: W. A. Marshall There is one thing that will never change regardless of ones tribal theology or sociopolitical street-hood, people are indifferent to their own damaged beauty and yet we are all fearful of something down there - we follow the tides like schools of fish searching for water They want solutions without pain They want rebellion without revision

Stood on the car roof with a Stanley knife from the milking parlour cutting down posters and their vicious screaming. **** you, ******** the corrugated plastic cuts my hands and it's raining icy and hailing mercilessly. I hope that's the wrath of God on us. The cable ties take a few goes of the scissors. "Vote No" to love — I've been denied of it too many times myself. Have you ever had someone tell you you weren't good enough? Or worse, lie and say it's all down to them? Let a man kiss his man, that's his business. Don't tell your dad that I'm doing this. Partaking in sociopolitical vigilantism, with a dairy farmer's knife and my best friends and a farm vehicle. I don't read the bible. Holy water means nothing to me. I won't marry you in a church, probably. Or at all, because you don't ******* love me. Let a woman kiss her woman, what difference is that to me? I'm just a leaf in the ******* breeze. I'm just an acorn fallen from a tree. My hands bleed. There's rain and there's tears and I can't ******* see. The wind is howling around me as these posters come down I'm finally free. All of ye can have love, **** hatred and all that it gets me.
