Unit Town
"Without a doubt the best thing to ever happen to me was learning to write.
To deny my voice the fear of rebuking my head"
Without a voice, you can scream louder than a crowd
by owing yourself to ink and loaning a god
for fuck's sake - we created iPods
we made the green god envious
the 99% per century invention, capital monopoly
property inception;
"A unit within a unit block within a block of unit blocks in a city dressed in unit"
Green God get me out of here
Blast me into the atmosphere
I'll fly amongst the 1%
we'll pay our way with unit rent
Unit fence: A union line
collapse the square in unit time
collapse the banks in USA
collapse and crypto-currency
Buy and sell
Raise the shelf
Kill the corporate
Break the hell,
Once it all has gotten loose
Our property is unit proof
So let it leak, let the know
the calamity hits close to home
the power that we all abuse
is missing from the unit news
Let them try to come and see
the truth behind their U-TV
Big Brother always had his way;
We changed his name to NSA,
ASIO and MI5 will track them wherever they might hide
their facts are psuedo-terrorism
line them up for unit prison
unit-ism breeds sheep, not lions
sheep who bleat their unit silence.
War is Peace and Freedom chains;
the future that George Orwell claims .
if we submit to ignorance;
we're slaves to our indifference.

This is the full OTS writeup, I've edited it down a few times but can't seem to do it without taking away from the piece.
I know it's still raw and suffers from a few things (syllabic count and tempo shifts to start) so feel free to rip into it with your critique stick. Or tell me I'm shit, either way much appreciated

Welcone to DU:) as flawed and rough as it is I still really love the idea/ subject matter behind it.
I'll get more into it later

whoa, I feel that 'kindred spirit' thing in what I read of you, but pleas don'let that scare ye.
but interpretations of 'kindred spirit' clichés are often so over-commoditized as to be worthless.... especially if they "sell"
