rough draft p1

trapped behind enemy lines
surrounded by distracted lemmings
who obey ever command like a trained seal
who never stray from the line
who fail to question or even try to grow a thought of their own
led by crazy fanatics
spreading nothing but hate, intolerance and fear
shouting their orders through pixilated megaphones
through preplanned questions and answers
fed to us through corporate talking heads
while the docile herd follows mindlessly along
apathetic masses blinded by the flashing lights
being indoctrinated to your system of greed
your system of greed
your system of greed
you fucking cowards
just shoot your missiles and drop your bombs from far away
never think of who bleeds
as long as it’s not you
as long as you’re not confronted by your barbaric deeds
as long as you can just turn the channel to something else
you fucking cowards
send someone else to die for your profit margins
just as long as it’s not you on the other end
just as long as it’s not your kid that finds the u.x.o
you lie, kill and maim
and you expect me to embrace you?
you poison our land, water and skies
and you expect me to accept you?
you fucking cowards
you deserve to die
all you do is lie, kill and maim
I just wish you’d die
If anyone deserves to live near du rounds it’s you
you don’t care how deep you have to bury the lies
the moral subjectivity is just something you’ll get used to
just close your eyes
stick your fingers in your ears
hum softly
look the other way
shrug your shoulders
do nothing
do nothing
do nothing
you just can’t be bothered
because
you’re just a fucking coward
afraid to rock the boat
money is your god
selfishness and deceit are the path
it’s all you know
it’s all you choose to know
all you bring is death and your corporate chains
your corporate whip
your corporate boot
your corporate justifications
your corporate thirst to suck it all dry
your corporate entitlement
your pre-packaged, mass produced ‘thoughts’
you fucking cowards
everything is not ok
no matter what the tv says
your apathetic inaction is what keeps it this way
everything you want me to believe is a fucking lie
fuck you
die
make the world a better place
one selfish prick at a time
standin above the crowd
he had a voice that was strong and loud and
i swallowed his facade cos i'm so
eager to identify with
someone above the crowd
someone who seemed to feel the same
someone prepared to lead the way

    Sometimes posters want feedback on rough drafts. Do you?
