Rising



You barely see them on T.V.

but from above you can see


a brave regrouping clan of wariors


emerging out of struggle

and have made it through


without blindly assimilating


into the status quo.


Their calloused hands


are sowing the seeds of change


instilling consideration


in a free people.


Listen closely and you can hear them tinkering,


sabotaging the gears of the elite machine


slowing down "progress"


to buy the planet some time

until focus shifts from profits


to the state of our future.


When the boycott and revoltion


become a mainstream reality


the wariors will go back to land


and dance around burning piles of money


then carefully begin anew.






Boycott

Those sneaks in office


need to be squirming in their seats.


we need to reprogram


and stay at home


American Express and Discover cards cut up


and sit tight for a coupla weeks


watching the DOW suffer a fatal blow


so when all is said and done


the time has come to give all


creatures their invidual freedom to exist


in a world that will provide everything


they will ever need.
