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\"\t
to buy the planet some time
\tuntil 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
\t \tThose sneaks in office
\tneed to be squirming in their seats.
\twe need to reprogram
\tand stay at home
\tAmerican Express and Discover cards cut up
\tand sit tight for a coupla weeks
\twatching the DOW suffer a fatal blow
\tso when all is said and done
\tthe time has come to give all
\tcreatures their invidual freedom to exist
\tin a world that will provide everything
\tthey will ever need.\n","contact":"","link":"","address":"","phone":"","parent_id":0,"mime_type":"text\/plain","summary":"Two poems from the heart about our movements growing numbers.","numcomment":1,"fileurl":"\/uploads\/","filesize":null,"article_url":"\/news\/2000\/08\/2114.php"},"attachments":[],"comments":[{"id":2181,"heading":"More Newspoetry","article":"More great poetry from the streets of LA!
