The rule in the art world is: you cater to the masses or you kowtow to the elite; you can't have both.

Pull strings on this world of granite
You may think me an optimist fool
I say we puppets rule this planet

Only the mob and the elite can be attracted by the momentum of totalitarianism itself. The masses have to be won by propaganda.

Fundamental of Liar Chapter XXXV: Rules part 2
What’s the rule, when money could buy
What’s the rule, when power is absolute
What’s the rule, when feeling involved
What’s the rule, when pride is important
What’s the rule, when look affects
What’s the rule, when victory is a must
What’s the rule, when worlds are vain
What’s the rule, people don’t change
What’s the rule, when good is not always right
What’s the rule, freedom is misunderstood
What’s the rule, anger conquers
What’s the rule, past neglected
What’s the rule, crime that committed

Military Corporate Rule!
the elite,
govern by profit,
illusions, propaganda....
are circling their wagons....
declaring war on the common,
average work-a-day people...
taking away rights,
free speech and dissent,
now passing laws
that allow police state tactics....
detain without charging
anyone deemed to differ
in the name of security...
to silence the voices,
and subjugate the masses, ...
under the weight of poverty
while they amass riches!
long planned, now here,
military corporate rule
knocking at the very door
of the free!

Elite Crimes Against Humanity
We must educate inferior elite
cure them of their superiority complex,
because their inability to give
to feel remorse guilt compassion,
proves them to be a crime against humanity.
The elite believe
they control our world,
with their weapons
of poverty prejudice,
ignorance religion.
The elite are truly like
child bully in the sand box,
who never learned to share
as adults sowing grief despair,
it is time to teach them responsibility.

Born To Rule
Lay down your arms this night
Surrender to the power
Embracing your metal heart
On your final walk through the snow
A hammer made of steel
From the river of blood
With magic, forged in flames
Delusions, a curse of the damned
What do you see?
Imaginary visions or reality
When you're free
Then you'll see that you are bound to rule
Rule - Born - Rule
We were Born to Rule
Rule - Born - Rule
We were Born to Rule
Born to Rule - Born to Rule
We're Born to Rule forever more
Born to Rule - Born to Rule
We're Born to Rule forever
The revolution forced us all to heed the final call
And if tomorrow never comes
Then we will strike the hammer down
Rule - Born - Rule
We were Born to Rule
Rule - Born - Rule
We were Born to Rule
Born to Rule - Born to Rule
We're Born to Rule forever more
Born to Rule - Born to Rule
We're Born to Rule forever
Forever, forever Rule!

Surfers Rule
Its a genuine fact that the surfers rule
Its plastered on the walls all around the school now
(surfers rule, surfers rule)
Becoming just as common as a golden rule now
(surfers rule, surfers rule)
Take it or leave it but you better believe it
Surfers rule
They burnt it in the grass on the football field now
(surfers rule, surfers rule)
Just try to make them cool it and theyll never yield now
(surfers rule, surfers rule)
Take what youve heard now and go pass the word now
Surfers rule
Its a genuine fact that the surfers rule
A woody full of surfers pullin long side a wagon
(surfers rule, surfers rule)
The hodaddies sittin while the surfers are draggin
The surfers are winnin and they say as theyre grinnin
Surfers rule
Surfers rule

Restoration
American sheeple have given away their power
To a few greedy elite bankers creating illusion
Destruction begins at the end of eleventh hour
Lest “We the People” restore our Constitution

plus rebuild teams
decisions already made
it has already been decided!
who will rule new world

Your Hero
The heroes of the masses they live for their renown
And the masses create their heroes and then drag their heroes down
And the masses are unpredictable they change from day to day
And some of their heroes like the Autumn flowers are quick to fade away.
Yet there are millions of unsung heroes and they live on every street
And every day a hero I feel privileged to meet
True heroes male and female yet by the masses unsung
The World is full of heroes of heroes old and young.
Some heroes of the masses are arrogant and proud
And their egos over-swollen from the adulation of the crowd
But give me the unsung heroes who go their own quiet way
Who out of the kindness of their hearts perform one good deed every day.
Many heroes of the masses are not heroes to me
Though every day I walk the street some true hero I do see
Your hero is chauffeur driven and drinks the most expensive wine
And you can have your hero but your hero isn't mine.

There Are More Stars Than Poems
There are more stars than poems-
More vast silent worlds
Than small verbal ones-
Masses and masses of mass and fire
Masses and masses of darkness and death-
And against this millions and billions of words and more little words -
More stars than poems
And far too many of both
For human comprehension

Ivory Towers
In ivory towers they sit
Oblivious to the world outside
The decisions makers huddle
Anyone who questions them
Receives double talk and gibberish in return
Always ending that, we are right you know
Continuous Governments
Feed the masses with pork pies
Those silly stump holes
Don’t seem to realise
The majority of the masses
See through their thin disguise
If they were to see
What the masses see
Maybe their decisions might change
Making it easier to live
And give a better life
To the likes of you and I

Women Rule The World
I GUESS JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING I'VE EVER DONE
I'VE BEEN TRYIN' TO IMPREE OR GET CLOSE TO ONE OF EM'

THE WAY THEY WALK, THE WAY THEY JIGGLE
MAKES MEN BUY 'EM DIAMONDS AND PEARLS
SOFT TOUCH, OH THAT LOVIN
THAT LOOK WHEN THEY'RE MAMAS
CUTE WHEN THEY'RE GIRLS
WOMEN RULE THE WORLD
WE MEN LIKE TO THINK WE'RE N CONTROL
WE ALL WANT TO BE BIG SHOTS
WE LIKE TO THINK WE RUN THE SHOW
THE TRUTH IS WITH JUST THE RIGHT SMILE
YOU LADIES KNOW YOU CAN DRIVE US WILD
THOSE MINI-SKIRTS AND THE WAY YOU FLIRT
YOU KNOW JUST WHAT WORKS
WOMEN RULE THE WORLD
THE WAY THEY TALK, THE WAY THEY GIGGLE
THE WAY THEY WALK, THE WAY THEY JIGGLE
MAKES MEN BUY 'EM DIAMONDS AND PEARLS
THAT LOOK WHEN THEY'RE UP TO SOMETHING
SOFT TOUCH, OH THAT LOVIN
THEY'RE SEXY WHEN THEY'RE GIRLS MAMAS
CUTE WHEN THEY'RE GIRLS
WOMEN RULE THE WORLD
IN ALL SHAPES AND SIZES
THEY MAKE MY TEMPERATURE RISE
STYLE AND BRAINS, THE WHOLE SHEBANG
I'M HERE TO SAY, WOMEN RULE THE WORLD

Let Love Rule
Love is gentle as a rose
And love can conquer any war
It's time to take a stand
Brothers and sisters join hands
We got to let love rule
Let love rule
We got to let love rule
Let love rule
Love transcends all space and time
And love can make a little child smile
Oh can't you see
This won't go wrong
But we got to be strong
We can't do it alone
We got to let love rule
Let love rule
We got to let love rule
Let love rule

You got to got to got to

You got to got to got to

An Earnest Prayer to God
God, rule my tongue, my works, my thought;
God, rule my mind, body, and heart;
God, rule all gifts from You I got;
God, rule my will, forget-me-not.
God, rule all things, my every part;
God, rule my actions from the start;
God, rule my soul, guide it with art;
God, rule my life till I depart!

Survival By Choice
i guess survival
is a choice too
insider trade off
planned elite survival
has been prepared
for new world order
even back in 1945
Berlin had massive
underground shelters
underground cities
built for survival
started big time late
1940s d.u.m.b
deep underground
military base
technology for survival
cities started big time
during cold war classified
period 3.5 miles deep enough
to survive oncoming polar shift
continental plate movement
dumb built
three to four
miles deep
preparation selected
elite human race
will new world survive
while elite
underground
slum it
i hope
to bask
in glory
of heaven
tour suburbs
paradise

When Women Will Rule The World
When women will rule the World sadly i won't be around
My bones will be resting forever in some quiet dead person's ground
But what a World 'twill be to live in the flower of peace will bloom again
And for as long as women do rule the World peace in the World will remain,
For as long as men rule the World terror and warring will live on
They have not learned from the mistakes of past male leaders with men as leaders all hope of peace gone
When women will rule the World the World will be a better place to live in
Mothers will not have to weep for their dead children there will not be wars for to win,
Women give birth to the soldiers mothers do not want their children to die
A dead hero is better than a living coward that is if you believe a lie,
Women do not want their children fighting in wars far away
There would be less wars in the World if women had a greater say
And when women will rule the World war will be a thing of the past
The flower of peace will be blooming and beautiful peace it will last.
