Corporate Takeover
They're not your friends to lend a helping hand
They don't care about you, they're psychopaths
No concern for what is sold,
as long as it's profitable
Wealth is the single purpose
There is no pride for a product
Eaten alive by another,
acquisition, merger
Take the foundation to decorate the top
Without a base, the pyramid will collapse
There must be continuous growth to survive
No one can ever be satisfied
Discomfort is the key to a robust economy
Keep consumers always wanting, keep people unhappy
The world is conquered,...

Genocidal Maniac
We will never know how many millions Stalin killed
This man always gets a free pass
Russians still rank him as a great leader
Another bloodthirsty czar, murdering the lower middle class
Early 1930's, Stalin nearly had a million of his own citizens executed
Forced labor, deportation, famine, massacres, detention and prosecution
Chewed up the lives of human beings in the name of a transformative vision of Utopia
The Ukrainian famine was triggered by the destruction of Kulak farmers, a hellish dystopia
3 million to 5 million peasants died of...

Blue Memphis
Blue Memphis
Young man Ty was going home
After taking in the sunset
Skateboarder and a father
Didn’t know what was up around the bend
Just a few blocks from home
Where Momma was waiting
Would even stop home for
Lunch with his favorite lady
Feelin real blue in the heart of Memphis
Feelin real blue in the heart of Memphis
Now a 4 year old is asking
Where’s Daddy I want him to come home
But it’s a long way to redemption for
The bastards that did this
Weren’t they...

Gold
Gold
Gold
Gold
Why so bold?
I'm spinning around your
Tightened hold.
You don't know it,
But I do
Can't stop thinking about you.
Blinded by fabric,
Spun out of greed.
So focused, so focused
I cannot see.
Had that chance,
Never won.
Tried and tried to escape
From the poison
Foggy is my mind
And blinded is my eye,
Will I end up
Another rigged die?
Tightened my grip,
Just for kicks.
After a while I started to slip.
I make sound when...
Gold

Letter To America
Dear America and your illusion of greatness. Your wealth and prosperity and honor and democracy. Has not been built upon these principals and ideals, that you wish others to believe that this country was built upon.
It was built upon a theft of a nation, the blood and sweat of a nation and human degradation. Not on the moral grounds of humanity, yet it was built on the dehumanization of the people you have violently snatched it from.
On the whipped backs of slaves, and on the trail of tears that you have created. What civilization have you given those that you have...

WHAT IS THE POINT OF IT ALL
What is the point of all of this nonsense, that we have to learn to deal with time and time again. 😞 YET things are more worser, than they ever have been, in the world of today. But yet they tell you it's gonna get better by telling us more, lies with propaganda to cover up the lies. yet nothing has really change the very Dynamics of the suffering. Which causes your misery of the deepness of your own hurt and pain. For sure we need to ask thyself is this the kind of world, 🌎 that you want your own children's to live with and be apart of there life. 🤔 For even as I sit...

#8 ~ Mon Corset
August 11, 1788
Mon Cher D.
I love it when you buy me clothing. Fashions for me to wear, meant for you to then take off me. Fabrics fair and fine, brought from far away. Trussing me up the way that you desire. Making me into everything I should be, according to your design. You make my world somehow beautiful.
That is especially true of this new corset you gave me. Thin and sheer, all in black. Fitted with stiff whale bone, to ensure it keeps me... perfect. Made my breasts spill over the top. My waist disappeared as...

Wounds not Seen
Wounds Not seen
The wounds no one sees
In a bunker shaking and shivering
Hear the blast that will change me forever
Wake up in a hospital coming out of a coma
I’m groggy but it’s becoming clear
That I am not the same person
Before I signed up for this
And I have kids and a dog
Out of the fog of war I realize I’m still here
But I’m half a person lost my shoulder and arm
And cut at the knees
So I get back home and I tease my kids
Get my tennis shoes so I can run with you

Government is a Scam
Government is a sanctioned shell game that lets contributing and controlling businesses make gobs of money out the wazoo while sticking "it" deep into me and you
Well Damn It's a Scam
Whether by truck, plane, or tram
Do crime against Big Business
And with Fed Tyme you'll be slammed
Reagan "fired" striking air traffic controllers
Canada's Prime Minister "intervened" against the railroad workers
Biden "took an interest" and "offered assistance" for Teamsters and rail workers to find resolution...

Man on the Street
Swallowed whole like Jonah
I reside in the guts of this
Beast, I can feel the heat of
its heart beat.
I can see the distension
in trembling and quivering
insides as I move around
on my feet.
I walk beside choked arteries
and down various tubes,
hanging gardens somewhere above
but here just waste and ooze.
I find a quiet cavity
and curl up on some bony surface
to snooze
but I don't get much sleep.
I reside in the guts of this
