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!

Capitalism Battles Freedom
when capitalism battles freedom,
you get what we've become...
profit begats slavery,
the many become enslaved.
founded on freedom?
we took this land from
the Native Americans,
took their way of life,
their rights, their dreams...
in the name of God?
of progress?
we brought over the slaves
from the African shores...
to work, to use, to abuse...
we took their lives, their way of life,
their hopes and dreams...
in the name of free enterprise?
of profit?
we treated our women like possessions,
second class citizens at best.
they were expected to be silent,
to obey, to bear our children,
to cook and wash...
they had to fight for years
to get the right to vote...
even longer for equal wages...
in the name of righteous judgement?
of divine directive?
and now, we the poor,
of all colors and creeds,
are corporate owned.
held under the thumb
of the elite, put down
and trampled on...
our way of life taken,
our hopes for the future dashed...
faceless numbers that stink of poverty!
in the name of wealth and power?
in the name of apathetic profit?
profit at all costs!
capitalism... or something else,
fair, equal, with hope and chance
and dreams...
the way of freedom,
when dignity overcomes profit!
when the human being is worth more
than the dollar and the deal!

Mubarak Egyptian Protests Threatens Suez Oil
Mubarak had given
a coded speech
on nationwide Egyptian
state television
Mubarak supporters listen
recognized his decision
immediately instantly
the answer to where many
of dictators secret police went
was answered in brutality
Tahrir Square 2nd February
'Amned Daula' 'Moochabarat'
sinister secret police of Egypt
who immune have held Emergency
Powers thirty stain years kept
since Emergency Law was swiftly
passed after Egypt’s President Sadat
was assassinated such a tragedy
succeeding dictator henchmen security
torture with Mubarak total immunity
Mubarak security supporters provoked
blood letting upon peacefully assembling
protesters in Tahrir Square after ordering
teargas rubber bullets baton charges in
days earlier secret police tactic brutality
to beat isolated protesters with iron bars
was routine for protest eradication policy
now administration frustration hits streets
demons are out of bottle and upon the street
modern tactics retrocede into mystic Bedouin
camel charge loud sound of liberty bell rings
an Egyptian falcon freedom sands soaring flies
wind of change is blowing protests
are not going to effect your country
except in increased national poverty
oil prices increasing to $100 dollars
plus a barrel an eighth of the world's
shipping goes through the Suez channel
Mubarak closed all Egyptian banks
shipping companies cannot pay access
the ports of Alexandria etc are closed
or on skeleton crews ships cannot
refuel in Egypt Mubarak has now played
his cards the poor will suffer but not
world elite leaders bankers corporations
solution must be found now immediate
if Egypt’s people will not end protests

Common Sense (Truth)
wars are started by men
with agendas... usually profit,
or religious reasons, or both.
the men that start these wars
seldom fight these wars...
they manipulate the masses to
do their dirty work...
these are the elite people that
control our world. their weapons
for control include:
1. poverty
2. ignorance
3. prejudice
4. religion.
if you keep the people struggling
for food and shelter, they wont have
time to stand against you.
if you keep the people ignorant, they
will blindly follow without questioning.
if you divide the people by prejudice,
they will not unite to overthrow.
if you convince them that theirs is
the only true religion, and that God
is on their side, they will commit
unspeakable acts.
the time of wars is over... there can be
no future if we continue.
we must quit chasing riches, and find a
more equitable way to share what we have.
we must be responsible for each other...
we must lay down religious pretensions,
fears, and pride, and become the spiritual
people we are called to be.
we must be human!

Weak logic, inconsistencies and alienation from the people are common features of authoritarianism. The relentless attempts of totalitarian regimes to prevent free thought and new ideas and the persistent assertion of their own lightness bring on them an intellectual stasis which they project on to the nation at large. Intimidation and propaganda work in a duet of oppression, while the people, lapped in fear and distrust, learn to dissemble and to keep silent. And all the time the desire grows for a system which will lift them from the position of "rice-eating robots" to the status of human beings who can think and speak freely and hold their heads high in the security of their rights.

Make no laws whatever concerning speech, and speech will be free; so soon as you make a declaration on paper that speech shall be free, you will have a hundred lawyers proving that "freedom does not mean abuse, nor liberty license"; and they will define and define freedom out of existence. Let the guarantee of free speech be in every man's determination to use it, and we shall have no need of paper declarations. On the other hand, so long as the people do not care to exercise their freedom, those who wish to tyrannize will do so; for tyrants are active and ardent, and will devote themselves in the name of any number of gods, religious and otherwise, to put shackles upon sleeping men.

Homeland Security Distributes Excess and Inequity
Home land security distributing
Excess and inequity
dismantling democracy
Stagnant low wage occupations
fueling unsteady flow of steadfast rage
from mobilizing worldwide occupants.
Civilian camps assembled without fear
in the face of the machine,
stripped of civil rights,
democratic duty maligned by
Murdoch's corporate media bankroll
sentinels of the elite sent to dismantle
protecting the sacred name of state
Riot squads
tear gas pepper spray
peaceful eyes peppered
by patriotic toxin
sounding sirens
police state planet tocsin
voting booths hijacked
by an ambivalent league of
charcoal cowboys
children burning
ants upon the hill
bodies brutalized by
cruel unusual currents
high-voltage violence
people provoked from their homes
cattle inhumane prodded in the streets
the catalyst dies silent
anonymous asphyxia in
the subconscious night
hand of the affluent assassin
pulling petrol palaces
purple purse strings
oil can cover up leaks
upon the crime scene
chalk outlines smudged clean
forensic evidence made fingerprint free
Homeland security has little-nothing
to do with preserving the safety
of our homes you me or our
friends lovers neighbors family
to keep secure the imperial misers
gun barrel procurement of
gold and global power
to uphold poverty and greed
hatred and ignorance
at home and import abroad
American security translates to mere mammon bondage
binding the poor to the dirt
the dead to the earth
and blind souls to the
all consuming shovel

Pillars of Truth
walking across the semi-frozen grass with my old dog....
listening to the crunch, the sound of morning birds singing...
watching the sun come up over the horizon, and thinking.
Carlin, like so many others, was right! we are owned.
this quit being a democracy a long time ago.
the rich, the elite, the corporate gods, call all the shots.
they buy both the laws and the lawmakers. they pick the
president...
they use wars, mis-information and fears, to manipulate
the common people. they whip us into patriotic fevers, and
lead us like sheep to the slaughter.
they tie the economy to these wars, and keep us down.
driven by the greed of the oil barons, they use poverty and
ignorance as a whip.
they use racial prejudice to divide us... they fan this prejudice...
they also use religion... encouraging people to believe that everyone
whose beliefs' are different are dangerous.

Public Safety
You have no 'constitutional' rights,
To police protection.
The police are there to uphold the 'law'.
Public safety...
That's all!
And 'if' it has been determined,
That 'law' has been broken...
Guess who is going to jail?
That is certain.
Those 'laws' will prevail!
People yelling, 'Protect me and mine! '
Will find themselves ignored,
Most of the time!
Police are trained to deal with you psychologically...
However,
Your individual needs...
Are not theirs to feed!
Your rights to protect yourself is best.
And that's why the streets are full of such unrest!
IF you have problems with this as it is...
Know what those laws are!
And why crime has risen...
Bringing folks to tears.
And your individual feelings,
Are not part of constitutional business!
You have no 'constitutional' rights,
To police protection.
The police are there to uphold the 'law'.
Public safety...
That's all!
And your taxes 'may' be used,
To fill a pothole!

Freedom Now
They throwed him in jail
And they kept him there
Hoping soo hed die
That his body and spirit would waste away
And soon after that his mind
But every day is born a fool
One who thinks that he can rule
One who says tomorrows mine
One who wakes one day to find
The prison doors open the shackles broken
And chaos in the street
Everybody sing were free free free free
Everybody sing were free free free free
Everybody sing were free free free free
They throwed him in jail
And they kept him there
Hoping his memoryd die
That the people forget how he once led
And fought for justice in their lives
But every day is born a man
Who hates what he cant understand
Who thinks the answer is to kill
Who thinks his actions are gods will
And he thinks hes free free free free
Yes he thinks hes free free free free
He thinks hes free free free free
Soon must come the day
Whe the righteous have their way
Unjustly tried are free
And people live in peace I say
Give the man release
Go on and set your conscience free
Right the wrongs you made
Even a fool can have his day
Let us all be free free free free
Let us all be free free free free
Let us all be free free free free
Free our bodies free our minds
Free our hearts
Freedom for everyone
And freedom now
Freedom now
Freedom now
Freedom now
Let us all be free free free free
Let us all be free free free free
Let us all be free free free free

Land of the Free (c) 3-29-08
Land of the Free home of the brave
Land of disease home of the slave
Freedom of religion Freedom of speech
Freedom of press and freedom to breach
Freedom to steal freedom to take
Freedom to carry guns and Freedom to break
The laws of the man and the laws of the word
Freedom from peace but to still use the bird
The only home of brave and Land of the Free
The land who rules based off democracy
Freedom to starve and Freedom to be poor
Freedom to break and enter someone’s door
Freedom to lay off workers and close off jobs
Freedom to take what they want and to rob
Freedom of abortion Freedom of extortion
Freedom to own land and give everyone their portion
Freedom for action by any means necessary
But what their picture of that can really be scary
Freedom to wage war without our consent for our hours to be spent
Freedom to take our money then make us pay rent
Land of the prospering riches and of those who don’t care for the
People who live in the FREE old America

Might is right
It is always the fact that might is right
They will go on till the end to fight
They may do it with the speed of light
They have the wisdom and long sight
Small insects kill smaller one
Big also kill little one and go on
It is complete cycle of exploitation
Everybody looses in turn and in rotation
So if rich rule the scene then nothing wrong
Not all can be in race and come along
It is sheer coincidence that mighty rule
Otherwise not all the people are fool
Person with abundance can sustain losses
He may have no regret even if looses
This gives them little advantage
Rest all feel confined to cage
Once you are under domination you are bound to suffer
You may have no rights other than to differ
So poor remain poor and rich gets richer
Poor remain suppressed for times to come
Rich are dominating and always welcome
Corruption has engulfed poor and rich alike
Everybody is influenced and affected with hike
No one wants to remain as poor like
Rich too wants not to become poor and dislike
This is tendency that we feel pity for poor
We have seen them knocking the door
But it is the system that will remain forever
Even if God descends on earth it will be there
If you have same system with no discrimination
No one may work and develop alienation
They will feel free with passing of responsibility
Here comes then the end of clear and distinct ability
If you have system with loop holes anybody will escape
No one can restrict the temptation or put the cap
Only the poor fail to emerge for the want of resources
The powerful emerge and re-emerge with full force
The oppression part is little disturbing
No one can force or go on curbing
No one can be forced to undergo torture
Even God has made it very sure
The rich may have disliking for poor
Poor to may have tendency to show exit door
It has been clash of time for centuries and very old
No one can buy it or arguments can be sold
Lord may wish so for all His children
He may even grant the same blessing even
Yet that difference may remain and even if not
The needless wars might not have been fought
The human beings may create it to rule
They make use of all available tools
Rich may tackle poor and poor may tackle down trodden
As the system remains same with all the odds even

Truth And Justice...
we do not go to war to protect freedom,
we go to war to buy and sell the free
for the profit of the machine...
do you want a just war?
keep kicking people out of their houses,
taking their jobs, destroying their familes,
and leaving their children hungry...
keep banning books, taking away individual
rights.... keep putting you hand on the common....
and they will rise, and overthrow you!
violence is the wrong answer...
but if you push a peaceful man in a corner,
and abuse his family, he will come out fighting!
you cannot continue to enslave by skin color, religion,
sexual orientation, political views, or economic
status....
too many people see the lie...
too many people are sick of the lie....
and the people you've fooled into fighting
each other, into hating each other...
will join together, and take back their dignity...
hunger cuts through illusion, and demands an answer.

On Paper. Not In Reality.
Don't be foolish.
Of course you are entitled to your opinion.
Aren't we living in a society,
That welcomes free speech?
'Yes...
But it seems to me that...'
Next! ?
'I thought you said we live in a society,
That welcomes free speech? '
On paper.
Not in reality.
I've 'earned' my free speech.
Haven't you noticed how I select my words?
Only 'then' are you free to do so as well.
Next?
I will take two more opinions,
And that will be it!
No...
Not yours.

Freedom Is'nt Free
Walk proudly- for you have that right.
You are our protectors- our military might.
You are deployed every where.
And there’s a pride that you share.
You go to the far corners of the earth
North, south, east, west
You are Americas best.
Many see us as a sign of hope
While other countries can not cope.
They see us as a threat to their way of life
And are not willing to make a sacrifice.
The voices of the people are starting to be heard
Freedom of speech is the word.
No longer will they be controlled like mice
Once they make freedoms sacrifice.
Strength is in numbers- that we know
They’re now taking to the streets
And putting on a show.
There is unrest throughout many a nation
They are tired of poverty and starvation.
We have a lot of problems
That I don’t deny.
But we are willing to make corrections
And we really do try.
No one person or country can ever be perfected
But we have resurrected.
We have risen from the ashes
With faith, hope, and love
Given to us from god above.
Freedom isn’t free- there’s a price
We must pay.
But this has become the American way.
