They called me a Liberal
for being fascinated with Lenin
and his COMMUNIST REVOLUTION;
do they not know that Lenin
despised Liberalism?
They called me a Liberal
for taking the Middle Way,
as provided by Buddhism;
do they not know that Buddhism
is all about lessening suffering for
all?
They called me Liberal
for being critical of their
motives
and UNPATRIOTIC for
questioning all;
have they forgotten that
patriotism
is being able to question
ANYONE in power?
In this corruption,
books aren't burned,
just [REDACTED] and removed,
and the act of reading
looked down upon.
Your machine gun hands
can't tell me who to hate;
tell me who to blame;
tell me who to love;
tell me who to negate.
When ignorance reigns,
life is lost.
Feed the cycle;
my name is Revolution.
So you say you want a revolution?
ARM THE HOMELESS
and see how quickly
things change.
Lady Justice has been shot
by a lone Truth Assassin.
Lady Justice has slit wrists
from sharp and righteous
dollar bill$.
Drained the Swamp of Corruption
and replaced it with
a Field of Snakes;
Lying, waiting, and
watching us
devour one another
in the shadow of
power;
a spectacle monopolized
by the greedy eyes
of those who claim to
care about you.
They're not interested in you;
interested in you;
interested in you;
interested in you;
interested in you;
interested in you;
interested in you;
interested in you;
interested in you;
interested in you;
interested in you;
interested in you;
interested
in
you....
