Defeating Tyranny
This is how to overthrow tyranny:
elections by a free people who care
peaceful transfer of power
alternative media outlets to counter brainwashing
decreasing the size of government
ridding a society of mandates by unelected officials
stopping demonization of average citizens
halting massive monetary corruption
short of divine intervention
this is how it is done
it is difficult~ many obstacles to freedom exist
that will try to maintain power:
a biased dishonest media
a bloated bureaucracy
an oligarchy of the defeated who want to retain power
unconstitutional judicial power
Nazi style thugs who like to commit violence
it is a tough row to hoe
no guarantees that it will work but
if enough people care it might work
DEI is not only racist and unconstitutional but it puts lives at risk!
Loving Day
When Richard and Mildred fell in love,
their fate was decided by a judge.
For he was white and she was black,
their marriage broke Virginia's Integrity Act.
Forced to move to Washington DC,
they opposed the ruling in 1963.
In 1967, a supreme court ruled that Richard and Mildred Loving could live together,
as an interracial married couple in their own state of Virginia,
and declared that the law prohibiting this was unconstitutional.
June 12 is National 'Loving Day', when many Americans continue to celebrate the freedom to marry a person of another race.
Festivals, barbecues, parties are held,
to show that love knows no bound.
His disposition sweet and sour
Laden personality stuck by the hour
A water bearer an Aquarius
Hot pink, missing link
An unusual unconstitutional cunning consumer man
Just buying time crossing righteousness line
Doused in the oils at the fragrances of sinner strands
Adjust how can he stand
He needs to be reprimand
Snow day in the middle of summer
Spotlight shadows in the bright
Double jointed Gemini
Double piercing blinking eyes
And unusual unconstitutional cunning consumer man
Just buying time crossing righteousness line
Dressed in a suit of unrighteousness in flaming pants
Missing Link hot pink
Sinner man happen stands

I promise you, I am from the broken time!
Where I watched the world burn through trees of pine.
You don’t believe this mess?
Well, there’s not much I can do, but confess.
So, you think these chains will prevent me from traveling?
As the magic starts unraveling.
You say I’m delusional.
But what you are doing to me is unconstitutional.
I promise that I will disappear.
And go back to my time where I will reappear.
And I will go back to harmony.
Where you will not be able to harm me.
We know that it was an inside job, that President Trump incited the mob. Why was home land security sent away to a place of obscurity? Where was the FBI who warned that some thing was going to fly? If heads must roll and some be gone, we must include the Pentagon. They deserted our Capitol police, so out numbered, now several deceased. Those elected officials who played their roles and watched while mayhem did unfold. They all better get their do for inciting this bloody unconstitutional coup.
Cautious adjudication, the gravitas of soft-spoken word.
Your legendary legacy, illustrious and exalted.
Advocate for gender justice, legal insights not always heard.
Yet, your jurisprudence was seldom persuasively faulted.
Few men invite state regulation of their sex organs.
Yet, many insist the state can control a woman’s body.
You, the bulwark against unconstitutional legal actions,
against state laws of men, pious and haughty.
Now you have departed, and we gaze upon the cavity.
Now we dread what might be used to fill the void.
The precedents of your life, our guidance against depravity.
Your advocacy for equality must be our natural law employed.
Those Earthlings are at it again
Oh goody, let's listen in...
"Your brazen actions endanger the public welfare."
"Your unconstitutional actions constitute warfare!"
My, but they sure do go after each other
You'd think they'd try to work together as brothers
"Your political grandstanding is purely barbarian."
"Your heavy-handed directives are totalitarian."
Oh, here they go with their name-calling again
Yes. Their immaturity knows no end
And haven't we actually heard all this before?
For sure. Before each of their stupid wars
"Well if you try that, I assure you there will be consequences."
"Wutcha gonna do? Put us behind barbed-wire fences?"
Wow. I 've heard enough, haven't you?
Yup. Let's give 'em another thousand years or two...
Beautiful, yet so utterly vile!
Congress shut down, hiding, plotting.
The destruction of this country and its President.
Under the glitzy costume of a Virus you came.
Unabashedly shredding the Bill of Rights.
Joyfully, slamming churches and synagogues tight.
You vampires on the Hill~
Destroying the Republic, the lives of its people.
To the great god, Socialism, you plan a building
with a shining gold steeple.
We cannot shake someone's hand?
Yet you unabashedly, tax us cruelly to beat the band!
Some of us not your slaves, not now nor ever will
be.
While you track our movements and words with
unconstitutional, unlawful glee.

To many my words were gloomy
But it was absolutely groovy
As I continued to speak truly
Whether or not it was seen as spooky
They said I needed a chorus
And help from the thesaurus
Or else it would effect my performance
But I wanted to paint my own portraits
With a style that was different from anyone before this
Considering how life is gorgeous
While traveling through enormous gorges
On the outskirts of the forests
As a young grasshopper
I poured out some beer from a can of lager
For my grandfather
Even though others continued causing manslaughter
Despite all the possibilities that this land offers
There are still places with bad water
And far too many damn squatters
It's fairly suitable
To maintain relationships that are mutual
While pursuing energy sources that are renewable
Don't you dare be delusional
And speak to me about what is unconstitutional
Because that is inexcusable
Especially if you want to talk about the crucible
As if it is provable
I just look at you like you're unusual
But pay very little attention because this place is far too beautiful
Sorry dad,
hate that I gotta turn you in
You don’t have the legal documentation
to stay here like I do
Sorry mom,
sad that I gotta report you too
You’ve been hiding in the shadows for years,
it’s time for the spotlight to shine on you
Your illegal presence is a cultural bane,
and a national resource drain
Unlawful immigrants are subject to citizen arrest,
then taken to the proper authorities
and given a loyalty test
You say this is unconstitutional
Maybe ... probably ... even likely
But the government has got a return package
that needs to be sent ... so don’t get liberal bent
I know you’re wondering, mother ...
how could your own child do this to you
But you know, and father does also,
that I’m a faithful patriot who took the childhood pledge
I’m an American citizen first and foremost
It was you two who taught me about sacrifice:
said you don’t always get to have butter on your toast
It’s a sad day,
seeing you both get deported
Go back home and get the legal documents you need,
I’ll be waiting
In the meantime, I’ll pray and grieve
As of right now, I’m very sorry —
but you both gotta leave
As our President plans to build an enormous wall,
I know deep down it makes a lot of peoples blood boil,
wondering where he'll get the funds to raise it,
a lot of people hoping he'll give up and quit,
Meantime the evangelists and priests come to mind,
wanting to do something unconstitutional of its kind,
while the Prez wants to begin building a wall that is sound,
the religious right want to tear the 1st amendment one down,
Separation of church and state should remain,
when they combine one dominate religion reigns,
history shows where we go when they go hand in hand,
persecution like fire starts to spread across the land,
I brought this topic up because its interesting at any rate,
knowing that certain people will do anything it takes;
how freedom of religion in USA will one day be a doomed fate~
remember how people used to get burned at the stake?

The brutality in American PRISONS IS UNDENIABLY UNJUST AND UNBELIEVABLY
UNCONSTITUTIONAL
Which is truly unbalanced with police brutality in PUBLIC.
I DO not for the SAKE OF MAN, FULLY UNDERSTAND,
The situation as it becomes more unbearable, unfair, UNMISTAKABLY DAMAGING.
I DO NOT condone any situation that puts the public in jeopardy.
Where a human being is slammed to the pavement repeatedly. This is a good
Example of insensitivity toward the civilian population. UNDERSTANDABLY,
UNDESIRABLE, UNSATISFACTORY attitudes will cause instability of SOCIETY as
A whole.
The FOUNDATION must not continue to be unstable. There's that
Something's wrong SONG. Well, it has been mentioned that this high
Level of BRUTALITY, both in prison and society (public) with arresting
Officers, is intolerable. There exist dANGEROUS AND UNDESERVING
USE Of excessive FORCE and presently UNCONTROLLED.
THIS could be detrimental deteriorating into a system of a TOTALLY
Transformed society. Where everyone resides in PRISON. THE
Innosent and the GUILTY.
A VERY UNACCEPTABLE FUTURE.
A TOTALLY TRANSFORMED SOCIETY
