Red, White And Black Blues

The white man stole their land
now the red man has the blues
the white man sold their families
and the black man's still ill-used
the white man shot the American buffalo
now the red man sings the blues
the white man put their people in chains
and the black man's grief accrues
the white house is to blame
the Government just the same
the white man broke the treaties
now the red man feels the blues
the white man did the dirty
and the black man he's abused
the white man has no conscience
but the red man has the blues
no the white man does not care
tho' the black man's overdue
the white house is to blame
the Government it is too

that government of the people, for the people and by the people

Is it worthy of forgiveness if you're mistaken about the expression:

    ". . . that government of the people, for the people, and by the people, should not perish from the Earth"

believing it was spoken by one of the "Founders"?

  When Abraham Lincoln was faced with the threat of "Secession - when a number of the "Southern States" decided to "... dissolve the bonds" that made America a single nation to become a nation unto themselves, this most-basic-understanding of what it means to be "A People" - One Nation was in jeopardy and in many respects, it appears we have not yet successfully resolved the troubles this question posed! 

  What does it mean to be a citizen then and what does it mean to be free. What is "Liberty" in our understanding and practice and what color does your skin have to be to be considered even human because, these are the questions, I submit, that hang before us still - the questions that will determine whether or not we can continue to exist as a single nation.

The System Isn't Broken, The People Running It Are

There’s no difference 
between a classroom 
and a 
Chinese 
sweatshop. 

No thinking, 
No talking, 
No creative 
expression 
whatsoever. 

Give us your
whole day and 
you will receive 
minimal reward 
for your 

indoctrination.

The fear I felt last November
Has 
   Swollen
Like a Hindenberg blimp directly 
Overhead
Seconds from exploding
Time and space back to 1775.  
How
Now sent troops’ marching feet
Bear a din, underscoring beat,
Compelling 
   Alarm
Urgently
To ask, to answer the question:
How might we align
  our democracy against any 
     autocratic      insurrection?





———————————
God bless us everyone

Two pumps a revolution and a squirt

I really would like to sit down and drink a beer with a cigarette
All I want is to choose for myself
But we can't do this and we can't do that
I think they're really trying to steal all our fun
They call this England, I call it a surveillance state prison.

Where the drunk drinks yet damns drugs 
he claims another benefit 
the bankers are lying 
they're going to bring the country down
People are dying for these profiteering wars.

A mother lost another son, we're lied to buy our government
The houses are up, the jobs are low
The poor man takes another blow
Another revolution is about to come and go!

Just for one night my friends
roll the dice 
come on play the game
Side by side we should stand
My friends, we will sing


Thistle and steel

The heather weeps, a purple bruise,
Across the glens, the chilling news.
No bagpipes drone a mournful sound,
But sirens wail on hallowed ground.
A thistle bleeds, its prickling crown,
As innocence is stricken down.
Young eyes, once bright with Highland fire,
Now gleam with something dark and dire.
The steel they flash, a twisted boast,
A stolen childhood, dearly lost.
Each shadowed lane, a whispered fear,
Of blades that gleam and futures near,
Consumed by rage, a hollow pride,
Where youthful dreams have gone to hide.
Parents clutch, with hearts ablaze,
Afraid to loose in this iron maze.
The ancient stones, they stand and stare,
At broken vows and whispered prayer.
Can Scotland rise, her spirit mend,
And teach these children how to bend,
The steel to craft, the hands to heal,
And learn the wounds are truly real?
To trade the blade for open hand,
And reclaim peace within the land.

New Change

A little bit flashy
A little bit dainty,
Who cares about consistency
If effect turns stimulatory.

Intellectuals surrendering 
To timely electrifying pleasure,
Intoxicated memory
Forgets everything they assure.

What about all those years-
The men behind you struggled to reform
What about all those you ignored,
As a part of random societal norm.

Now if we rise,
Now if we revenge,
Will you come crying back?
Promising a new change?

Premium Member Beware the Ides of March

The virtues, sacrificed
  By muscling vices,
Lay dying 
Across the dusty crusts of Earth.

The sky, once admirably azure, 
Now bleeds dark streams of gray 
Above the sight of flying vultures
Flapping, circling in wait.

Premium Member Irene Chain will go, to court again'

Decades a midwife a definer of rights written so patients
And authoritys both knew their plights.' Un-jabbed 2020 up
Till today, yet prosecuted by N Z jacinda aderns machine which stated
She had to pay? They tried to bully and really every sick trick.' Even forgery of  her signature, i think they were a bit thick? Well its all turned turtle, and they're panicking now..
The genocidal mantra.' The outright lies and deceit show
I advise a trip to you-tube where if you enter her name.?
Under New Zealand midwife, it will truly enlighten your brain.'

Shattering the Unbroken Cycle

Shattering the Unbroken Cycle

Bully's shadow looms, a pervasive stain
across all sectors, absurd, yet sustained

Governments and schools deny workers' rights
incentives, facilities, and dignity's light

Seniors torment juniors with blows and pain
emotional scars, hunger, and shame's stain

Educators wound with words, with physical might
abuse and fear, a toxic, endless night

Domestic walls conceal violence and despair
husbands, wives, and shattered vows laid bare

Governments neglect, oppress, and deny
basic rights, humanity, and a chance to thrive

Even sacred spaces hide oppression's face
wealth and power, a sharp, humiliating knife's pace

Do we bully for fleeting power's sake?
Is happiness not our purpose, our heart's ache?

Can't we choose kindness, unity, and love?
Break bully's chains, send humanity from above

Premium Member American Word Games

They call it social welfare
when it is for the poor 
To help the ones who have grown old 
or sick and have no cure 

They scream they don’t want taxes 
and the richest scream the most 
But it is just a game of words 
they spread from coast to coast 

If it is for free lunches 
for children in our schools 
the rich say it is welfare and 
they should seek-out other tools 

But when the rich seek money 
they found the perfect way 
They change the word to subsidy 
that is the game they play 

They pay their corporate lawyers 
to fill out all the forms 
Eliminate their taxes 
and continue corporate norms 

They use the people’s taxes 
to make their projects thrive 
The subsidies from Uncle Sam 
keep billionaires alive

Premium Member Major Ouch

I became a victim of the/
Government Psychic/
Operations Program/
With radionic and psionic technology/
The voice to skull is torture/
But, they can't break me/
They tell me to confess/
I refuse, I never done that/
They body possess me/
I will not give in/
They squeeze my liver/
They squeeze my organs/
Telling me to confess/
To things I never done/
I refuse to let them/
Silence and suppress me/
They lower my heart beat/
They lower my blood pressure/
They bring me to the brink of death/
I still refuse to give in/
They resort to voice to mouth/
I still refuse to admit/
To things I never done/
They body possess me/
So? I can do the same thing/
The feeling and emotions possession/
Are easy to fight/
The thought to skull/
Is easy to fight/
I thought we were the/
Land of the free.../

No matter, no different

It's all about to come to fruition
 to seath up and boil over in volume and commission 
The intention of the off hand is to present the will of the common 
driving down to the bottom with no cause to empty the plenty free you see.
I cast no spell to either side tho I hide behind honorable walls ready to peak around the side and utter my righteous mantra.
I might just have fun with the sincerity of others who are afraid of what they are told to be afraid of.
With love so right it's wrong to know when "no" means more to you than to them requiem this intent to stint the stench sent by the unrepentant to persistent intent.
I bask in the glory filled fortified facts that we stack high abroad to attack when everyone is watching. 
Desencly watching with no way of knowing where you're going.
If they're told to hate do they know when to cease?
To release all bindings and so called findings of convenient facts
That stack on there mind so high they can't see over their own failure 
To see that their freedom has been redefined for their confinement.
