Traditionalists will have to master techniques of sustained activism formerly monopolized by the left.

The World for What it is
Through time I have seen what has happened to me
We have become docile
We sat in a comfortable chair and will not get up
We wear conformity
We eat destruction
We drink our own demise
We the people have been monopolized
We are just another commodity
We are like a horse with blinders on its eyes we see what our master wants us to
We the people have been silenced
We the people are no longer the people
We are the puppet in a play the lyric in a song
We no longer rise
We are tired
I have seen the serpent lurking beneath the flower
I know the truth behind the lie
I am a lone horse with no pack to run with
I search for a home
I fight my comfort
I confront my weaknesses
I humble my strengths
I find that the last free enterprise is coming slowly to an end
I cannot move
I cannot breath
I cannot fight
I am comfort I am conformity I am monopolized I am the people
Through time I see what happens to us.

I guess because the shows were activist in their own way - the marriage of my public activism and my career activism, you know - people understand me very well. They also understand there's a very strong bipartisan part in all of this.

Lord of the Flies
Oh Master my Master
Oh where have you been
I wallowed in filth and
I drowned in sin
Oh Master my Master
It's my rotten luck
To swim in the decay
And swallow the muck
Oh Master my Master
I stand in the fires
Surrounded by murderers
Thieves, cheaters, and liars
Oh Master my Master
the earth has turned red
Fluid with blood
Of the recently dead
Oh Master my Master
What's wrong with the world
The blackness unfolds
Like a flag that's unfurled
Oh Master my Master
You ignore my cries
And now I'm quite sure
You're the Lord of the Flies

I Know What My Master Does
I know where my Master lives.
I need no invitation to visit where He is.
I know where my Master lives.
I know what my Master does.
I witness this on a daily basis.
And not with eyes fixed on skies above.
My Master is available whenever I call.
My Master is everything and to me my all.
My Master has seen me stumble and fall,
To get up off my knees to again walk tall.
And if it wasn't for my Master I'd be left to crawl.
I am aware ot this.
I know where my Master lives.
I need no invitation to visit where He is.
I know where my Master lives.
I know what my Master does.
I witness this on a daily basis.
And not with eyes fixed on skies above.
I know what my Master does,
Can do...
And has done for me.

As The Master Suggests
Wasn't it just yesterday,
It was said...
He was too incompetent to lead.
And today they hope he succeeds,
To keep them protected...
From experiencing total economic devastation.
And yes,
The situation is a mess.
But guess who's gotta clean up...
After they have treated themselves,
Less than guests.
Guess who's left to paint the veranda,
As the master suggests?
Then joke...
Sitting from a chair,
Known to be the master's favorite seat.
Overlooking the cleanup.
And sharing jokes with similar minds...
About eating fried chicken,
Watermelon.
And who commits all the crime!
Producing babies 'they' can't feed.
And guess who's left to paint the veranda?
Me!
Wasn't it just yesterday,

After they have treated themselves,
Less than guests.
Guess who's left to paint the veranda,

And guess who's left to paint the veranda?
As the master suggests.
Guess who's left to paint the veranda?

And guess who's left to paint the veranda?

As the master suggests.
Guess who's left to paint the veranda?
As the master suggests.

I'n School
In school:
I was told to sit down and shut up.
I should just shut up and
be quiet
In school I could learn
And I learned
and I faced the master
I learned about the play,
the theatre,
but this was no school of drama
So I lied
I lied about my friends,
the theatre, the girl
and I ran away
I ran away from the master
And I was the master
but I cried when I left
I was told to sit down and shut up
and I left that school because I didn't fight.
I just got up
and left,
quietly.

S a c r e d {Terza Versione}
Approaching the carved stone fountain
on a skin-toasting summers noon in Milan,
there's allurement for one to take both hands,
and immerse them beneath the fresh, cool ripple,
of the clear umbrella of decending liquid,
casting prismed rainbows off the Iris of the Sun.
Yet...in the center town squares of Italia,
where art is non-negotiabally sacred,
dipping hands in Borghese or Trevi
would be likened to the daring sacrelig-
of ensconcing ones' feet
in the Baptismal at Peter's Basilica.
Sacred be quite subjective, though-
Traditionalists tend to scoff at such notion;
not an odds-makers chance
to grade 'old school' mantra;
castes of olde-garde sage and stripped cultures,
still embrace the tarnished green copper
of that which once shone as bright gold,
rules that withstood times maverick stains,
and of which to those traditionalists,
are objective, indelible....'jacta alea est'!
And because so... these judgements of they
must be acknowledged, respected...the same,
And, the fact that opinion is deciding factor -
is a privelege, quite Sacred in itself.

You've Got It. Finally...You've Got It
A pain remains,
If I keep it sustained...
In my brain.
'You've got it.
I think you've got it.
Repeat that,
A-gain.'
A pain remains,
If I keep it sustained...
In my brain.
'By jove you've got it.
Finally...
You've got it.'
I do?
'Yes, you do.'
A pain remains,
If I keep it sustained...
In my brain.
I think I've got it.
'You do.

Master
Master went a-hunting,
When the leaves were falling;
We saw him on the bridle path,
We heard him gaily calling.
'Oh master, master, come you back,
For I have dreamed a dream so black!'
A glint of steel from bit and heel,
The chestnut cantered faster;
A red flash seen amid the green,
And so good-bye to master.
Master came from hunting,
Two silent comrades bore him;
His eyes were dim, his face was white,
The mare was led before him.
'Oh, master, master, is it thus
That you have come again to us?'
I held my lady's ice-cold hand,
They bore the hurdle past her;
Why should they go so soft and slow?
It matters not to master.

New Traditionalists
'Who are you listening to?
How do you like this new guy.
The one that's coming to office.'
I'm listening to some old Devo stuff.
'The New Traditionalists'.
Had it since 1981.
Back then in the 'day'
They were calling this 'new wave' music.
At first...
I admit I was excited.
Just the thought of the President of The United States,
Actually 'playing' basketball.
Not golf or tennis...
But basketball.
He's coming in with a whole new set of rules.
And it may look easy,
But basketball is a rough and physical game!
'Michelle ain't no joke either.
She's already told the White House staff,
Her daughters will be making their own beds.
And with the mother-in-law moving in...
And Michelle's brother having introduced them?
They have 'already' chartered fresh territory! '
Those folks are 'too' disciplined.
You know what I'm sayin?
I don't know if this is a joke or not.
But I heard a rumor,
President Obama is divising a new physical fitness plan.
For everyone.
He's taking something old to add to fresh concepts he has.
'What is it.
What have you heard.'
Each community, nationally...
Will be required to set up H.A.F.T. Master Races.
'Hmmm...
I don't believe that.
He did not run his campaign on racism.'
NO! No...no, no!
Slice that thought!
This is his new physical fitness program.
It's both startling...and refreshing at the same time.
'H.A.F.T. Master Races?
I wonder what that's going to be about? '
Well...
The completed title should give everybody a clue!
'What is it? '
Haul-ass-from-the-Master Races.
'LOL...do what?
Who's the 'master'? '
I'll give you a hint...
Who's 'black' and 'white'
And gon' be sitting in the Oval Office?
Like my grandaddy use to say...
'I don't care who was 'suppose' to do sumthin'
That ain't done!
You see this belt?
I'm holdin' it 'cause somebody gonna get whipped!
And I'll 'Whip It' good.'
But he has such nice kind eyes.
And a warm inviting smile!
'My grandfather was about four feet and eleven inches tall.
But somehow he had us focused on other things.
And that never came up in our conversations then.'

Title, 'New Traditonalists'
