Bend towards Justice

So, now that I’m officially running for President in 2024
It’s time I start campaigning seriously
And stop bullshittin’ y’all, cause to my pleasant surprise,  
Y'all actually listen to what I’m talkin’ about
I really didn’t think that’ y’all did and I apologize, so let’s start from the beginning
My name is Ashley
Zay, Zaddy, Zim, Zerr are my preferred pronouns
My sun sign is Virgo
In 2023, the disturbing realizations of constant conflict, must be brought to a head as the people need to identify their real enemies, and not their neighbors
The heads of state, the nobles, the constituents, the leaders of the banking systems want them to cut their own flesh and blood dead
And for what?
A different currency exchange system?
Beg for your right to exist?
It doesn’t matter what country you’re in
The functionality of these governments, exist to maintain chaos
Then pretend to establish order from it, when they’re the ones who created it in the first place
And it doesn’t matter what we fight about,
Land, labor, economy, culture, creed, perceived mental illnesses or regions
We don’t have the time as a nation to keep fuckin’ around
Cause phase one of the psychological warfare is complete
Keep the masses distracted
Present them with options concerning their entertainment, information sharing, but limit their outlets available to them
Overstimulate with ads targeted to their interests
Market all kinds of bullshit through music and television, then stir the division in the midst of a mass cognitive dissonance
Hell, to prove it to you, on my free time while I’m campaigning, I’m creating my own mixtape
We don’t trust a soul in this country
But, When I am your President
Bridging the gap to wealth inequality, healthcare, and a sustainable living situation is front in center over somebody else’s wars
Cause what does it profit anyone to gain the world and lose their soul?
Nothing
Now, I won’t win the nomination this go round, I’ve gotta face my reality
But I won’t stop being difficult and running every damn election cycle, so long as the world is remains delusional
I, too, believe that the system is rigged, but dammit I will be reckoned with
I’m not even worried, in the words of MLK:
“The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice…”
