The dawn of reality


My blood pressure rises as I think about the politicians
Those corrupt men and women
In Washington, Sacramento and other cities
Lining their pockets with bribes from corporate lobbyists
To vote in favor of industrial destroyers of our planet
Is there no one who can stand up and be honest
What happened to the truth we the people expect
Shall we continue in ignorance of what is really happening
While those who have power over us
Rewrite history to fulfill their family dynasties
And the dreams of a demented few
One vote for one man means nothing
Not even counting the mail in vote
Unless it is followed by financial endorsement
Can the working man on minimum wage pay the piper
Even a revolution won’t change the status quo 
For without the dollar you and I are nothing more than cannon fodder
Made ready for the next CIA created war
The human shields of corporate states
Where democracy lies beneath the rubble of the republic
My allegiance is to the child who see that the rich emperor
The talentless television celebrity who has no clothes but an expensive veneer
To hide the truth, the media distraction
To become the puppets for the ruling masters
We cannot fight to win
Only resist until all our energy is taken from us, by the state police
On January 20 1981 at 11:57am the old world died
Our freedom and destiny was buried 
When they obscured the truth and the American flag was draped
Across the window of the world
