'March of the Bobbleheads'
Bobble along
Keep yer eye focused on the others
For your cue
For your lines
For you carefully worded lies
For your newest excuse, ‘the latest in rationalizations!’
Like a bad script all I can do is sit in amazement….
And wonder…
‘how the fuck do they accept this bullshit!?’
And not only the script…
But the fucking casting director as well
But kudos to the props and special effects departments
Do you have to repeat the lines in your head?
Or just cling to your raft of nativity?
If only you cared about the planet the way you care about your lawn
Your manufactured realities have poisoned the world
And yet…
You still can’t stop
It’s still not enough
More and more each year
Until you’ve striped it all bare and privatized
Capitalized
Brutalized
Maximized profits as much as you can
The festering wounds grow deep
Time is shrinking as fast as the fresh water, the clean air, the clean atmosphere…
And you still manage to have time for what if’s?
We already let you play that game through and as you can see…
You were a bit off the mark…
wouldn’t you agree?
You fuckin owe me one
Stop the cleverly designed side arguments
You will not find salvation in these distractions
So I don’t know why you even try
It’s like the truth can be so obvious
But you just find a way to rationalize
Bury your head
Bury the truth
Bury me and bury you
Your selfishness
and greed
will destroy
us all
And I’m just wondering….
Why the fuck don’t you care?
Why the fuck don’t you care?
You jut don’t fucking care that you are drowning in a sea of apathy
Don’t put your words in my mouth
Or your sense of morals in my head
You false sense of morals
Your fucking hypocritical sense of morals
Fuck you
Fuck the war and it’s ever-revolving justifications
Fuck your corporate goons and their fucked up view of government
Fuck your voting machines without papertrails
Fuck your phony elections
Fuck your phony democracy
Fuck your willingness to conveniently forget
Fuck the shadows kept behind the curtains, clean and discreet
Fuck the warmongers, investment bankers, power brokers and bomb making elite
Fuck the strings at the end of their fingertips you ignore
Fuck your extraordinary rendition and your prison ships
Fuck your propaganda and this fucking mission,
which you said was accomplished
Fuck your corporate media feeding you the lies
Bah, bah Americans, have you any soul?
No sir, no sir, we just do as we’re told…
Fat lil piggies wallowing in their greed
wallowing in their apathy
wallowing in their denial
wallowing in their self-imposed ignorance
Just get your lines and memorize them like a good little boy
Balance them on your nose like the fucking trained seal that you are
Just fess up
You don’t care
You’re not fooling anybody
Just admit it
You don’t care
At least other than the generic reaction you don’t show it
Just fucking say it
You don’t care
Or not enough to actually do something about it
Not even the smallest effort towards anything other than your god damn self-serving interests
And tell me how you care
Tell me how it will really be all right
And tell me how you don’t support it
Tell me who you hold accountable for all the lies
I guess what I’m trying to say is…
I think we should see other people

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

"keep sending me your stuff..."
from my window to yours
Bet you haven't heard that in about the last 10 minutes.
Very nice El. Boy are we going to have some fun doing some ripping come September. You can even read my good rants that I would never post on here due to the fragile nature of some human beings.
brilliant!
thanks for sharing
I'm a robot straight from the same mould as G.W. Hope that helps. Now back to the beautiful piece that El Kabong has typed.
do you happen to have a sister named Vicki??
