Pigs
Pigs on the left
Tories on the right
What we gon’ do?
We’re gonna start a fight!
A fight between the classes
An uprising of the masses
A battle of ideology
We’ll rise from the ashes
The ashes of deprivation
Degradation
And alienation
The ashes of feudalism
Liberalism
And fascism
Oh why can’t we see beyond
All the bollocks
All the rhetoric
Why have we stopped seeking the truth
Seeking justice
Seeking equality

Discover Poverty
go to the forest
and find out the poverty
that exists in you...
Read a book
and find out the poverty
that exists in you...
Visit a foster home
and find out the poverty
that exists in you...
Watch television programs
and find out the poverty
that exists in you...
And discover poverty
that's in you!
And discover poverty
that's in you!

Profiting From Fear
boomtown pandemic
everything sold
with fear
old con men
new opportunities
targeted
vulnerabilities
nothing off limits
when it comes to
creating easy money
no missed oppertunity
taking a mark
its about
feeding these anxieties
pressing buttons
that rip past
protective barriers
normally in place
your friendly
neighbourhood
virus
unlocks reason
making the perfect
21st century victim

War
Let's have conversation
Not a confrontation
But sadly we've been programmed
We are divided
And not united
The media and government has scammed
Our thoughts our minds
These trying times
Filled with hate speech crescendo
Chaotic commotion
Our religious devotion
Its all gone out the window
Lies are exposed
But our minds disposed
As we recklessly anchor in our stance
As we prepare
We are unaware
Of the impending circumstance ...

Cannonballs
A dark wind has come upon us
tears us apart from limb to limb
up on the mountain they look down
as my neighbor slits the throat of my friend
someone seemed to have pulled the thread
everything unraveled
up from the bottom to catch a breath
for the amusement of those who lit the fuse
behind the bricks lays the gold
pull up your boot straps and come get it
wealth and the greed we need to be worthy
loyalty to a ring
saw a picture of a girl somebody slaughtered
on the banks of the water...

The Stupid Schmucks...
The stupid schmuck philanthropist's
of the blind red states kiss the fist
formed from his gimme, grifting hand,
blind to sleight of hand dammed and scammed
by slick, quick-fired verbal twists...
Hiding agenda's hidden gists;
under feigned patriotic mists,
funding this fat-cat's thieving brand,
the stupid schmucks!
Agog with lies this grifter's dished
awed by grifting propaganda blitz,
steered by cheap glitzy rousing bands ...

ginger bread man of wall street
gingerbread man run away home
to icing on the cake and lascivious dreams
lavish living has made you weak
soft hands and well-manicured nails tell a tale
of a man used to getting his way in business and life
a bully in negotiations...
you hold all prisoners hostage
file that under passive-aggressive
when sideways smiles count as currency
your flippant attitude towards the lower classes irks me
a soul on loan...exhibit for the heartless
further proof somethings is missing
your money reeks
yes men count...

it's not just stocks and shares ..
the economic situation looks bleak,
but why should I be worrying
I have shares in absolutely nothing,
apart from our intimate dining ..
although, following yesterday
evening, during which my own personal
stock could be said to be declining
I am left somewhat reeling ..

Pigs-in-Banquets
Fat Pigs-in-Banquets
behind gilded doors
decided my fate
and probably yours.
They sent us all out
to deal with lambs bleating
and fight a new virus,
while they kept on eating.
Among us were wise owls
with helpful suggestions,
and loyal dogs and horses
who served without question.
The worker bees buzzed around
making our honey
while fat Pigs-in-Banquets
collected the money.
If one asked for help ...

Fahrenheit NYC
NYC...
has been sold to the highest bidder
buildings are going up higher..
rent even higher
skyrocketing...politician pocketing bribes
it's greed gone gluttonous
with no logical thought in sight
no insight whatsoever
impending ecological disaster
coming faster and faster
all this 'progress' has become a drain
on the infrastructure
over taxed just like the residents
strained to the max...
trains coming to a complete halt
power outages inducing
outrage...heatwave heightens
frustrations in this...
