Living Beside a Traitor

don't you watch the news i ask? arent we at war? who is our enemy again... and who do you work for? why do i have no hot water? why is my window cracked? why can't i do my laundry? sound like familiar questions? if so your landlord might be a traitor Why are the cops always harassing me? why don't they care about the environmental health of 800 people? why did the health inspector come, and nothing got done? why is my fridge on the fritz? freezing my food, and rotting my frozen meat. sound like familiar questioning? you might be a victom of a war crime. Why are you talking to my family about my unpaid bills? and lieing about the damage that has been done to my apartment. why does no one leave their house past six? why won't the mayor spend 6 bucks on bugspray to spray one park? why did my doctor get beat up? why is it impossible for me to get a job? why are there several people lieing about me, with similar lies? sound like familiar questioning? you might be a victom of a conspiracy of war. Why are my names songs? why do they sing about my birthday? why was i in a mental institute i should never have been in? why did 3 of my friends get murdered for drugs? why did my dad disown me? why does my mom always have such bad advice? sound like familiar questioning? you might be the victom of a post modem war. Why do the police have a hard time doing their jobs? why can't you find 3 people they have actually helped? why is it if you call them and suggest you might be a missing person they tell you no one would be looking for you? why is it when you call the radio stations they never play your songs? why is it whenever you call the news stations about your situation no one cares at all? sound like familiar questioning? you might be stumbling in the wrong direction onto discovering the war codes they are using. Why is it only white man is the only race partaking in recreational drugs? why is it in history class we are blamed for everything from the crucifiction of christ to dropping adam bombs, and everything remains white mans fault? why is it after i got out of a hospital to discover a poor bill of health i ended up being held hostage right around the time bush came to deliver a speach? and why is it after i left i got beat up by two cops? why is it you are terrorizing me then act like its something we do to you? why does my country not control their borders while they smuggle in drugs and guns?
