Refuse, Resist
Gov't officials see a bright future ahead
The poor will no longer exist
Drive these people out of their homes
Increase their rent, please try & resist
Isolate them like you once did in Harlem
Ghettos without prison walls
If they revolt, cops smash their heads
Or spray mace into their eyeballs
Breakdown the walls that kept us segregated
No time like the present time
Take out the ruling class
No one in life should get a free pass
The poor will no longer exist
Drive these people out of their homes
Increase their rent, please try & resist
Isolate them like you once did in Harlem
Ghettos without prison walls
If they revolt, cops smash their heads
Or spray mace into their eyeballs
Breakdown the walls that kept us segregated
No time like the present time
Take out the ruling class
No one in life should get a free pass

Fear
You can drive a car if you do it right
but you can't go far if it puts you out of sight
you can't look at girls
you can't drink anything
you got to get your kicks in the shadow of fear
You stay out late when they think your young
when they find out, there gonna want you hung
so you try to understand that you might get near
cause your lost alone in the shadow of fear
So you found a chick that you think is fine
but you fell too fast so you lost your mind
society looks, but they turn their ears
you got to get...

The fight begins, till death
We all dream of peace
Heard the tales of euphoria
We've all seen the land of hate
No tears in our eyes
No pain inside
No fear for us to hide
Two fists I'm ready to throw down
United, break down the walls
Shotgun blasts sound out the call now
The fight begins for us all
We've got to fight back
This burden in our hands
We've got to let them know
Rise up ready to attack
We are the final stand
We've got to let them know
We've got to let them know
This is the end
The fight begins, till death
Heard the tales of euphoria
We've all seen the land of hate
No tears in our eyes
No pain inside
No fear for us to hide
Two fists I'm ready to throw down
United, break down the walls
Shotgun blasts sound out the call now
The fight begins for us all
We've got to fight back
This burden in our hands
We've got to let them know
Rise up ready to attack
We are the final stand
We've got to let them know
We've got to let them know
This is the end
The fight begins, till death

No Gods, No Masters
Into the mouth of war
Break through the walls of shadow
From the fires we will rise
Silence the ones who hide
We are the faithless! We are those who stay, nameless!
Into the gates of blackness
Now the pain is rising
Tortured, hallowed in hate!
We stand alone
Into the graves of eternity
This world fills with hate
Slowly we make our ways
The time has begun
Consumed by greed and anger
Now the time is near
Callused are the minds of the world
We hide ourselves
Consumed by fear and secrets

Remember, Remember
Bonfire Night is an ironic thing
at 400 years after the event
where a Gunpowder Plot had killed no king
and sabotage became Guido's lament
as the people had made it very clear
that a disruption to the status quo
based on violence and subsequent fear
wasn't the most discerning way to go
to carry heretofore the common law;
be the ancient regimes hip, hip, hooray,
or establishments of indolent blah
countermanding even a sunny day...
since rare indeed is the revolution
that fairly treats the wealth distribution!

The false pretenses campaign
Natural men, in their awkward majesty,
descend to the lushly absurd fields of paradise,
where the spectral line of sports begins.
A peculiar ballet of limbs,
an odd assortment of sinew,
unfolds like a grotesque tapestry.
Under the surreal sun, their bodies,
partially symbiotic, partially independent,
contort and stretch in clumsy elegance.
The air thick with the irony of sweat and flowers,
a collision of the primal and the sublime.
Grunts echo like misplaced sonnets,
as they engage in the bizarre...

The Crushed-Velvet Faux-Leather Bourgeois Baby
The Crushed-Velvet Faux-Leather Bourgeois Baby
And we found each other on the streets of Prague in the midst of a spring that rivaled that of ancient Ireland. Yet it was not a season such as Beltane but rather freedom from the polished boots of the Red Star. But when the Soviet tanks rolled in liberty was the rose that found refuge in our boudoir where hearts still blossomed while youth festooned rifle barrels with the flower of peace.

What Is A Patriot?
to place one nation above all others
is false patriotism
are patriots warriors with swords and medals?
what exactly does it mean to be patriotic?
america is brimming with injustices
longing to be made right.
democracy
is a tool that benefits all who use it.
american democracy,
is rusting in some hidden forgotten corner.
america is seething, burning with centuries of history.
the american system of government is not democracy
it is a system designed and built to offer equality
to dueling...

Post humorously: The American Experiment
Councilors, Court systems
Criminal justice, Tort cases
Decision-makers, game changers, complacency,
Hatred for the other side
What's the common denominator?
Y'all remember when Enron, WorldCom, Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac, A.I.G., the Lehman Brothers, Goldman Sachs tanked?
GM and the auto industry asked for a bail out, because they were too big to fail
And the people who worked in the factories were left damn near penniless
Crying in interviews, so much so, Michael Moore made a name for himself in a documentary
Never forget “Occupy Wall Street” ...

No Molotov's!
Some still think that to make new things better
we have to burn down the infamous past
as if eliminating a letter
would make a saint from every scholiast
or that torching down entire abodes
will magically trans-mutate neighborhoods
into someplace where no ethic corrodes
in swaps between all services and goods...
to say nothing of the environment
stung by the fallout from the toxic flames
which planned disassembly would circumvent
with less pollution from the timber frames...
since who knows what else was in that old...

Who(are you)
From my generation
To teenage wasteland
Can’t explain
Why but in yer gut
Boris the spider
On eminence front
Is it me for a moment
Playing pinball
Preaching like Jesus
Can you see the real me
As love reigns over me
Who are you sister disco
Guitar and pen
Says everything
Call the Bell Boy
Punk and Godfather
Here by the sea and sand
Tommy can you hear me
I know Who’s Next
Like the back of my hand
Behind blue eyes ...
To teenage wasteland
Can’t explain
Why but in yer gut
Boris the spider
On eminence front
Is it me for a moment
Playing pinball
Preaching like Jesus
Can you see the real me
As love reigns over me
Who are you sister disco
Guitar and pen
Says everything
Call the Bell Boy
Punk and Godfather
Here by the sea and sand
Tommy can you hear me
I know Who’s Next
Like the back of my hand
