Free Riders

This moment of exciting green things Sooner than later will be pinked Earthly creatures shall be free riders Courtesy patents of the carefree The penniless will ride in first class The dollar-full will ride in first class Everything that exists will ride In economy class not any more Never out of charity but compulsion I see the plane coming to land soon The run-way is being built daily Forged tickets are being purchased Dreamy the powerful and the wealth Dosing nations of the super powers Less curious nations of the soft powers Proud creatures with fiery fire hidden in bottles Unrepentant those who know God just a little Carefree those who know humanity less They shall own intellectual property rights And when this moment comes Creatures will have equal shares Free riders in extra-terrestrial realms The place of total freedom in chains Governed and controlled obscurity There every passenger will wake up And shout, “It is finished”
