Re-ignition

You took over that cave

To shelter from storm

You started that fire

To try to stay warm

Tired of gathering

You planted some seeds

Hunted no more,

Developed new breeds

You sheered the sheep

So you could have wool

You steered the cattle

So you could be full

So when did you decide

You need more than your neighbors

Hoarding your goods,

And doing no favors

Happiness isn’t measured by

Wealth alone

Or how many envy

The items you own

It used to be survival

Was enough to stay pleased

now you hunt feelings

that’s only a tease

a cave of despair

is where you’ll reside

until the flame of survival

reignites inside

Emperor's Apology

Forgiveness is a virtue
diversion can make you forget
and if sorry has a limit
I haven't reached mine yet

I swear that you can trust us
even though we fail
to be Fair and Balanced
in any scope or scale

We're here to serve a purpose
sell the other side of truth
skew stories in our favor
regardless of the proof

More power for the rich
resulting from my missions;
voters believing propaganda
and owning politicians

I’m sorry you didn’t realize

We pray upon the distraught

My only true regret is

My minions getting caught

Doctors without Orders

Millionaire’s

Will you dare

To help your fellow man

You hear the wailing

But seem to be failing

To lend a helping hand

The only  prize

For selling lies

That lead to gaining wealth

Others suffer

While you’re the buffer

That keeps the Care from Health

Doctors will make

Prescriptions to take

But we all need to pay attention

Cause It’s clear to see

That drugs aren’t free

No interest paid in Prevention

Why is it lost

That there is a cost

Too great for most to bare

And it’s got to be tough

To determine what’s enough

profit for holders to share

 

Doesn’t it seem wrong

to be waiting so long

Millions of excuses insure

Congress’ biggest sin;

Taking death money to win

Instead of conjuring a cure

So Millionaire’s

Will you dare

To help your fellow man

You hear the wailing

But seem to be failing
To lend a helping hand

Truth about Lies

You can live em

You can tell em

You can buy em

You can sell em

When you need em

They work nice

Until you have to

Pay the price

It’s not fuzzy

And can be cold

When the time comes

For it to be told

Just as simple

Not little or white

Deep down inside

You know what is right

Fury to the Fuehrer

When Egypt starts to fall,

Will terror strike us all,

Will pyramids turn to dust?

Will faux Pharaohs flee

Their mock democracy

When they’ve gone squanderin’ the trust?

You may try to silence the people

Halt communication for a bit,

But once the revolution get a rollin’

Those abusing power should just quit

I may not be political in nature,

But I know one thing for sure,

When common folks are held down by corruption,

The fury will be taken out on the fuehrer

When China Starts to win

At damn near everything

Cause USA has lost its’ smart

We’ll be exporting led

Just trying to stay fed

So learn Chinese, it’s not too late to start

From where I sit the rich are getting richer

Corporations getting all they need

Scarcity is becoming a real problem

Unless the commodity is greed

So now I stand for freedom of the people

not some fiscally righteous spoiled brats

Votes are like opinions never counted

Unless you are the local Autocrat!

Between amendments two and one

Words aren’t loaded guns

When we shoot to kill before we ask

What else can be said

If everyone is dead

And politicians need bullet proof masks

Can famine be discharged with loaded weapons?

Bullets fill the hungry to feed silence

Nourish thought not Military action

Cause real Heroes can solve problems without violence

Congress is too concerned about elections

To come up with any working plan

The only thing they can do is bicker

Instead of trying to help their fellow Man.

If people only leak,

What government’s will speak,

Then there is no real transparency,

The puppets only show

What you’re allowed to know,

Strung without accountability

If you try to questions the leaders,

Or seek answers for those who died

Prepare to have you patriotism questioned,

those who follow orders have the pride…

I don’t claim to know all the answers,

I only want to know the truth,

I pride myself in being honest

And deferring blind faith for proof
