Looky

looky! the puppet that everyone is said to throw their frustrations at like animals flinging their excrement without a second thought, smiles out at us on our glowing screen to instruct those that doubted the tyranny & oppression so very evident amongst our own people here in the “land of the free,” here in the “greatest country in the world,” blessed by “god,” unashamed of its strangling of every other walk of life on this planet. but the puppet who reeled of hope & change shouts looky! from his pulpit--- looky, we got gaddafi! looky, we are pulling out of iraq after raping her for years! looky, we got more oil! OIL OIL OIL OIL OIL and the puppet’s head does the talking for those on wall st. who are pissed off because they have to walk a different path to their car before going home (that is, if they don’t get picked up by their own driver)---the puppet does the talking for these 1% who need to choose a different place to have lunch because the rabble outside are making a ruckus. the puppet smiles when he looks back at us, you see, he wants another run at this puppet thing---he wants it again in 2012, he likes being part of the great big lie, he desires the supposed power like others before him & he doesn’t shiver at the thought that the people that he represents are not those that walk into ballot boxes. looky! watch the puppet & co. evenly disperse the bird seed that they throw out at the hungry & angry masses---watch as all this “change” happens just before the next performance of the illusion of freedom & democracy, bound by the murderous rapists who will not be stopped unless they are beheaded & even then, the impulse to become like them will not have yet been abolished.
