Citizen Soldier
Citizen Soldier
NewSpeak..Thought Police..
Truth-seekers often leak--far more than information,
News sweeps that laud defeat...all for discrimination,
Y'all saw the indication; cross the street,
In truth?...we'll seek a bar before our vindication..
Run late to come anew; love and hate for blood and booze,
One straight, one askew, for fucking sake, it's subterfuge,
Our troubled fate's another ruse…in other news,
It's social manipulation, intimidation is nothing new,
Total capitulation, the situation is...'wonderful'...
Drones over Connecticut; no exposing the president,
No notice or motive, and no hope for the residents,
Chalk-lines and debris...cross lines to keep straight,
Call-signs, "all rise", all signs of police-state,
The citizen soldier..chip on his shoulder..
Molotov cocktails, this shit isn't over..
This is not democracy, sifting through the vacancy,
This is godless prophecy and ritual complacency..
The zombie apocalypse has already happened,
And the joke's on us...Why are we laughing..?
Why are we passing for cancer, mimicking progress,
And why aren't we asking for answers, picketing conquests,
Of congressional criminals?...literal context,
Are bomb threats the pinnacle of cynical god-sends?
I'm not sure...honestly, it ought to be fought for,
The bottom-feeders lost freedom, but...probably not war..
With working-man against working man,
There's no reversing the circumstance,
So what purpose does serving have..?
From burgeoning worth to burning flags,
We'll fight for anything, but liberty..
Constant state of cognitive dissonance,
Conscious fate for competent dissidents,
Nonsense and rage...ominous sicknesses,
Onset plagues, anonymous witnesses,
Complex stages of pompous initiatives,
Joblessness…fame…prominent citizens,
Context wavered, and content is limited,
Honest wages non-existent,
If something..doesn't…give….
