what to do


206/2013 730am

it all matters
because most will continue believing
the lies behind so many stories
no one should be surprised
to learn our interests are last
no one should ignore
the lessons that can be learned
from the past
it’s too easy to ignore and fall asleep
accepting what’s being told as truth
just more lies on top of ten year old lies
on top of twenty year old lies
still being exposed

it all matters
the generations of lies
helping only keep the powerful in power
we are never encouraged to be independent
only to be part of a collective group of thought
our political parties…show me the difference
on foreign policy and the economy
and how can we then expect any real change
especially when more lies are piled on top
of four year old broken campaign promises

it all matters
because those in power count on
a collective ignorance to the effects
of this foreign policy and economy
a collective ignorance to the fact
they are two sides of the same coin
owned by multi-national banks
a collective ignorance to the illusion
that every four to eight years
things might get better
if we make the right choice
what choice…can you remember

it all matters
no one can deny that they do not remember
when the US was not at war  
can we continue to deny the loss of personal freedom
in the name of national security
everyone is a suspect for something
everyone is stuck proving the negative
impossible but fear
has the collective to a point of dependence
someone else (they) will protect us
what is it they are really protecting

it all matters
how many more rights
have to be infringed upon
before the collective turns
and faces its common enemy
what can we do…
