Warning.

You've heard it in history
Time and time again
But do you listen
Really listen

What happened to the American
Who'd take no corruption
Who'd make a stink if they smelled even a small somethin

Will we be that generation?
Where survival was the only thought
When people took the scraps given
Where not one of us even faught

See
At first
You won't be taken by force
First they leak into your homes
Slowly taking till you're poor

Education's not important
Neither is privacy
We sign it away with such negligent leniency

In the name of safety
Man
What a fuckin joke
Ask a dead man about cameras
Microphones in their home

Ask how they'd cope

They'd say hell no

They would have cheered for Snowden
They would have never allowed a billionaire
To TALK his way in

They would have called for blood
Rioted till media rotted that silver tongue
They would have faught
Instead of nodding as a means to run

Weak ass people
Know it will only get worse
He's reneged on his own gun views
Know this step is only the first

People taking sides as if their party are looking out for their souls
Not likely
Before this place falls
This dual citizen will go

Like Cuba
Only the smart ones saw the issue
The loyal ones stayed
Had their riches taken and reissued

That feeling I push as familiar doom takes over
This time
My sorrow, not for Havana
But for the US as I cross the border

But I'll be on safe ground watching as they cry
'How did we let this dictator cruise on by'

History will be erased
Only the other continents will know
As media will be controlled
Much like it is around the world

But no more

I won't be that hopeful Cuban again
My history precedes me
I see a familiar storm rolling in

Get out while you can
If your people decide
They'd rather be slaves
To be erased when they finally fight

By then, it will be too late
If you stay you have chosen to die
Yes
It is that serious
Anything else they sell is a fuckin lie

You better hope this ends right
If it doesn't I'm out the next flight
When the idiots are making decisions
That will effect MY line

So as a parting message
Know that language is life
No matter where I part
I'll know how to rise

Learn a new language art
How to speak something not English for a start
Or stay and be part of the show
In a row of gunfire as your last embark.

Author's Note
Alexa's and their like in every home, cameras in your cars and sensors that drive for you and can stop your car in case someone steps in front, yeah that can't backfire a million different ways. Russia gloating in their media that Trump is their man in America and people forgetting that russia has been trying to dismantle our democracy for decades. The delusions are widespread and ill be damned before I let uneducated sheep make my fuckin decisions in the form of percieved 'democracy'. Look up actual Cuban history and how it was almost the richest region in the world till the Kennedy's got miffed and let a Mexican outlaw talk his way into their society. First the guns were outlawed, then the people had to relinquish their property through force. Deaf ears, cause what do us spicks know.
