Society and The Man
Shut the hell up
Put a smile on your face
Behave yourself
And tie your shoelace
Never ever
Speak out of turn
Or they'll set you on fire
And watch you burn
Make sure and do
Just like you're told
Don't act out
Always follow the fold
Don't you dare
To ever rebel
Or society will make
Your life a hell
Comb your hair
And tie it with a bow
Never forget
We reap what we sew
Go to work
And pay your taxes
Or society can't afford
The men with the axes
Never give
Your opinion a voice
You dont decide
Society makes your choice
Follow the lead
Stay in line
Or you'll be payin
One hell of a fine
And never forget
You're owned by "The Man"
Or he'll take your house
Kids and life cause he can
Put a smile on your face
Behave yourself
And tie your shoelace
Never ever
Speak out of turn
Or they'll set you on fire
And watch you burn
Make sure and do
Just like you're told
Don't act out
Always follow the fold
Don't you dare
To ever rebel
Or society will make
Your life a hell
Comb your hair
And tie it with a bow
Never forget
We reap what we sew
Go to work
And pay your taxes
Or society can't afford
The men with the axes
Never give
Your opinion a voice
You dont decide
Society makes your choice
Follow the lead
Stay in line
Or you'll be payin
One hell of a fine
And never forget
You're owned by "The Man"
Or he'll take your house
Kids and life cause he can

The author encourages honest critique.
I really like your mind-set. Seeing through the smog and understanding the confusion that its caused. Sometimes you have to go to the mountain and take a good look and come back and lead by example at what you found there, because what you found isn't tangible. Yet its worth more than all the gold you'll ever see on heaven and earth.
We are all needed for the ongoing Colonialism. Colonialism has weaved its way all through this world. Colonialism, mercantilism, industrial revolution, and now globalization. How will we evolve through this stage? We're barely even at the beginning.
When you start knowing how to think, following your own mind-set, you will come to realize you can do anything. Especially writing if that's what you want. But then again I think writing's special. I wish it was easier. Words are the economy of the world and the world is the ecology that has pressed our consciousness. This is just my opinion, but we live in a world that is symptomatic of our actions, and when the action is based on faulty logic and reasoning then it becomes a world of illusion that moves farther away from what is natural. Don't get stuck there where the sky is falling; society will never change.
Nothing to do with what you've written, because I really like it, but I'm going to say this on art and the world. Do not say, I don't like how this looks. Say instead, this is what it should look like. With the economy of the world today I know that wise isn't worth very much. Don't be afraid to be wise. Take it back from all the cheapness and set virtue back in her seat. Your example is your happiness. Live the truth in who you are, because you're awesome glowbaby. You're made of stardust and language. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to write this.

That has to be the most excellent comment I've ever read my poetic friend. Thank you.
