Anarchy
To some, simply protesting
May be a sign of anarchy.
Seems to me it takes more than civil disobedience.
It takes a severe form of discontent
To which you add weapons of destructions
And physically attack and aim to destroy
Established institutions.
Of course anarchy can take place
At many levels of society,
Even within a small group such as a family.
True, some totalitarians started their careers as anarchists,
Blowing things up and robbing banks, like Stalin and Lenin
Did in Georgia,
Then after gaining power they killed
All the people who were too close to them, knew too much
And became a nuisance.
After which they established their complete reign
Of terror.

So It's Okay, If I Drop Kick Your Poodle , Then?
Oh, it's not?
Now wait a minute--
wasn't "anarchy" defined as :
A complete lack of governance, resulting
in lawlessness, and
for some, a utopian society
(and also what happens if you leave
the toilet seat up, in my bathroom..)
So if there's no governance
and no rules,
then it should be okay for me to drop kick
your yappy little dog.
Or walk into a store and take what I want
without paying
Or drive my car over your flower bed
because I feel like it
Or ...or...or...
There's no repercussions, so what's the big deal?
Oh, it hurt the dog and made you feel bad
when my boot met its muzzle.....
Ah, perhaps then, anarchy isn't as Utopian
as it's peddled to be,
--and--
we can't be entirely lawless, and
must have some self governance ....
(thereby causing the very definition to become
an oxymoron)
Maybe...
the Ten Commandments
aren't just a script for a Charlton Heston film..
God, himself has rules
for playing in the sandbox , and
since I'm not God,
that's what makes me think twice
about kicking your dog.

ANARCHY RHYME
we tug
at the ropes
and rail
at the rich
and curse
who's in charge
(the son
of a bitch)
but we relish
the order,
the pretense
of fair,
the promise
of safety,
the semblance
of care
and the rich man
is king
but strong arm would
reign
if we loosened
the hold
of our government's
chains
for the co-op's
a dream
in the anarchist's mind --
each gives of
himself
and keeps
his own time --
but power is
gold
and greed
is the way
and the
weakest
still suffer
if thugs
rule the day
we're all slaves
to the belly
and must work
to eat
no matter
the system
of government's
seat
so we cherish
and need
the relative
calm
and the semblance
of order
in government's
palm
at the ropes
and rail
at the rich
and curse

(the son
of a bitch)

Addicted to Mayhem
Every time I see unfair rule and law
I want to express myself on city walls
Be a ghost, a host addicted to mayhem
But with galls bigger than mother fucKing Kong’s balls
I wouldn't give a damn and just bash and slam
Every verse be an explosion meant to vent
Rallying the masses to give them a voice
A middle finger in the air saying “fuck the government”
And once the crowds are compiled and riled
I’d light the fuse by taking to social media
Revealing every politician’s dirty little secret
People would get so pissed off it’d feel like virtual chlamydia
Then comes the mass hysteria
Everyone will be a mobbin’
Robbin’
Throbbin’ like a phallus up in the palace knobbin’
Because like an Orwellian rebellion
This Machiavellian hellion
Will expose anyone who’s been plottin’ and jobbin’

Bureaucracy’s Balm is Anarchy
Before you clutch your pearls,
remember how we got here.
If you heed how history’s unfurled
you would withhold your jeer.
How many now are dead?
From the maze of red tape,
or the money they bled
for insurance’s rape?
A whole nation strangled
by billionaires’ boots,
behind a curtain star-spangled
as rot creeps through our roots.
There are few things anymore
that have no price tag.
Wilderness is lost to lore,
another victim of our flag.
So tell me elders please,
why should I let it go on?
So tell me corporate skeeves,
where has your honor gone?
The Right declared war on us;
desecrating the remains of democracy.
The Left has ignored us,
relishing in trademark hypocrisy.
A careful capitalist construction,
enslavement with hidden strings.
Now my vote is destruction,
to give revolution wings.
How easily we forget the scores
by whose blood, freedom was paid.
Not of men on foreign shores,
but our own kids and young maids.
Anarchy is no flippant choice;
its the result of oppression,
leaders quieting our voice,
now all that’s left is aggression.
So tell me, politicians,
why were we not heard?
So tell me, dear mortician,
where will it most hurt?

The Anarchy of Identity
Doing what the fuck
You want to
Do
Despite the consequences
In a dimension
Of
Governmental intervention
And a collection
Of
Crazies
Of every color and creed
All having
The
Need to belong
To feel
Right even when they are wrong
Anarchy is a
Song
Sung to a tune
Heard
By
None
Heard by a zero in a one:
I
Am
Anarchy.
