Communism 2.0
Who am I, who are you?
Can this world be true?
Or are we all in fact
Stuck inside a shoe?
Who is that, who are they?
Is the world in dismay?
Or are we all broken
Beginning to decay?
Who are you, who am I?
Is reality a lie?
Locked inside your head
Are you ready to die?
Who are they, who is that?
Can you handle the crack?
We’re tangled in absurdity
About to attack!
Who am I, who are you?
What’s a girl to do?
We need a better plan
To create the world anew
Who is...
Can this world be true?
Or are we all in fact
Stuck inside a shoe?

Locked inside your head

Communism
Capitalism
Ain’t the vision
That I would like to see!
Community action
An organised faction
Is what we need to be!
Liberalism
All this division
Is a catastrophe!
Socialism
The people arisen
Is where we need to be!
Communism
Is the vision
That I can foresee!

unshockable
Unshakable resilience in the crucible of life has rendered my spirit
‘brave, strong and utterly unshockable.’ Bring it on!”—CAB
i've witnessed fire come down from heav'n,
smelting sand, steel, and stones;
survived the rape of nine-elev’n;
broken a thousand bones.
i've seen seas sweep swift swirling storms
that smother saint and sage,
and refugees torn from their dorms
like cattle in a cage.
i have beheld the prisoner rot
in gaol without a...

All my ai and Peggy Martin
My thesaurus and my dictionaries
serve as artificial intelligence,
my mute aide-memoire spells and solves the quizies
then by magic my word grasp is, immense...
And for guys getting in books can be, hot
to spread wide the covers 'gainst the stiff spine
try that with 'lectrics to see what you've got
a solid bet, a call to, nine, nine, nine...
Let the lazy ones dumb themselves right down
with pretty pictures captured on the net,
and a dozen words which didn't bring a frown
of concentration,...

Of Ancient Lore Forgotten
- Of Ancient Lore Forgotten -
In far ancient days of lore forgotten, alluded to in texts of old,
Glimpsed, in visions fantastic, by those who serve inspiration...
Never realizing the deeper truths their words oft leave untold.
In those days, I walked the world amid now long lost nations,
With kindred once immortal, made to live and die as men must.
They bound themselves unto me, seeking a truth I could teach,
That might deliver them from the fate of going to a grave's dust.
And I showed them the ways we are eternally within our reach!
Ten...

Carnage
A war is coming and
I mean to break the serenity.
The bearer of uncomfortable truths
here to crush the status quo.
Out there I left no one behind,
in here I will leave no one unturned.
From the battlefield to the boardroom
words now my weapon.
It makes no difference, the outcome
will be the same.
Carnage.
I mean to break the serenity.
The bearer of uncomfortable truths
here to crush the status quo.
Out there I left no one behind,
in here I will leave no one unturned.
From the battlefield to the boardroom
words now my weapon.
It makes no difference, the outcome
will be the same.
Carnage.

What Would Orwell Say
Docile and tame
our unending shame
that some regard as fame
homogenized
pasteurized
and sanitized
the Animal Farm of existence
.
What would Orwell say
groaning in his grave
to see his cautionary tale unfold
in a world grown cold
restricted and controlled
-
Stop waiting to be told
safe within the fold
placidly living on the wold
Baa-ing like frightened ewes
is this the life you choose
-

Make a Stand
When governments don't care
how her people fare
feeding off need
kicking us to our knees
then people must care for each other
sister, brother, mother
we all bleed red
humanity is a beachhead
in endless wars for the crown
that are wearing us down
every day
every single day
we fight to survive
giving up hopes to thrive
we are forged, tempered, and tested
pain and tragedy ingested
there is just one way out
of our spiritual drought
stop
simply stop
fighting for religion, creed...

The crown and her puppets
Two sides pulling each other,
I am right, you’re wrong, it’s either us or them,
The third enjoying the thrill of observation,
The diplomats pretending to be neutral.
Truth seems to be blurred,
But every one is right by their own accord,
Tit for tat but the opressor and the oppressed are embodied in one character,
Rationality and logic are intertwined in a web of emotions,
The others think they’re intelligent, the others think we are stupid.
The oppressed and the oppressor has chosen to stay quiet,
We’re feeding them...

Free your Feet, Free your Mind
Free the Feet, Free the Mind
.
Preaching freedom,
why can't you see what I believe...
and take off the chains of a dying society
- The weight you bear is sacrificial despair,
the status quo,
implicit unwritten rules,
regulated behavior and thought control,
even fucking etiquette,
holy hell, which fork do I use now
- shackled, hamstrung, pinioned, and caged,
do you baaa on command in a choir of the damned,
ah, but the bars are all padded, the manacles mink lined,
you've traded your freedom for a big TV screen

An Eye for an Eye
An eye for an eye,
biblical
but what happens...
when you take a million eyes and everyone is blind
- All are guilty and none are guilty,
the sins of one offset the sins of the other,
all have claim so none have claim
- War exists to feed the rich,
stop playing this hateful game
- Look into my eyes and tell me I'm blind
... and I will laugh
seeing far more than you,
I see your anger and need for revenge,
seeing how you are being used
and I see we are all getting played
- What interest rate do bankers...
