THE WAY THINGS ARE GOING AND SHOULD NOT BE
Things going the way they are going, is really not good;
For today, things are not going the way they really should:-
Politics is, and will always be, about power and political control;
And today’s politicians are musky mongers, both young and old:-
Time for us to be about going and getting things as they ought to be;
Particularly with the oppressive ways things are trumping on you and me:-
Now is the time for us to be going about us no longer being droned,
By today’s Oppressor Syndrome, having us destroying ourselves and home:-
We can, and must survive, how oppressive things are going on today;
Thus, over the coming years, let’s be about bringing liberation our way:-
Of these things going on today, being united, we have survived worse;
Today, united and aware, let’s get to being about eliminating today’s curse:-
Hey, crying about things being the damn way they are today, is one thing;
Not doing anything about the way they ought to be, is a damn shame:-
Let’s stop going about insulting our ancestors in a “do nothing” shameful way,
And get on to doing what we need to be doing to halt this oppression of today!
