    WAR

    Another infraction incurred 
    Another line fades to a blur
    And once again I come to find
    This shit is so absurd 
    Its a daily fight to maintain 
    A daily dosage of pain 
    They call it making a living
    I just call it fuckin insane
    Traces of a stolen youth
    Hurt more when you learn the truth
    concentration camps exist 
    Corporations are your proof
    Keep us blinded scared and dumb
    Keep us right under their thumb
    Keep us fighting with each other
    either way, the work gets done
    When will we Wake up And Riot?!
    When will we really be free?
    when will we reject the chains of slavery?
    When will we Wake up And Riot?!
    How much time must pass?
    Before we finally learn from our tumultuous past??

    the institutions set up to protect the rights of the citizens either do that or face what comes next

    Thank you Merlin. If still on the fence about Jefferson, but Adams - now that was a true man of vision.

    Very well written! A true statement with clear imagery of everyone's daily grind. Reminds me a little too much of my job-surprised they don't have role call and gas chambers. DQ

    Thank you Queenie. What would be the point of gas chambers? Slaves aren't worth any money dead :)

    Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
