THE END RESULT


Lies reign, dropping out of a clouded blue sky,
over the civil minded heart.
More bullshit covering shredded powerless lives.

Most words fell far short of the damage done.
Historical quotes “Kill ‘em, kill ‘em all”
will always work just fine to make the point.

And when the killing is done, the twist and spin is over,
the only edifice left standing is the houses of the bully boys
with their sausage fat fingers playing with the buttons,

poking holes that buttons,
laying on untaxed fat bellies,
that they cannot reach to close.

And when the lie has become absolute truth
spoken only through the offsite mouth of Big Brother
you will not know the meaning of freedom.

  1. Yeah, pretty much. This is a great bit of necessary fire-breathing, telling it like it is, even if as I often so sadly feel these days, we're all preaching to the choir, and the mob outside that's ready to burn the place down isn't about to listen. It still needs to be said, recorded, realized...that we are losing completely the 'meaning of freedom.'

  2. This is ugly and what is even alarming is that people can't distinguish between truth and lies and mistake lies for truth. At the end, we are just powerless, really....:-(
