Sheeple in shackles

by Valis
Sheeple in Shackles...
The world is in shambles
Shackles
The radios are competing to see who can spread the news faster
Because all the televisions have gone black
When your municipal infrastructure can't be supported by the base tax
So you ticket everything in sight taking from the poorest
But foraging in the black community like it's war and we are all tourists
Paying your bills by indenturing the poor
Protect and serve has become punish and profit and collect your worth
When you turn bill collectors into police officers
Do you know why the community of Ferguson had their patience put to the test?
It's because 75% of the population had warrants out for their arrest
for non traffic violations
Violence is no longer domestic now it's domesticated talking about inflation when you keep printing money and we keep paying
his offense was walking while black so of course it must have been his fault
now even adolescents are being killed just like they are adults
Because it's illegal to be a concealed carry holder while reaching for your ID
it's illegal to sell CDs and nicotine and walk down the street
These reasons are punishable by death
but Clinton's emails were swept under the rug
so she can finish running for president of this,
I'm sorry but
when were we great in the first place country
Desperate Measures are a cause of desperate times
and I am one Savage motherfucker desperate to be entwined in the trials of society
Desperate for sobriety
Enticed by the sadness
And thriving on the madness
That is the fabric of our lives
Desperate for sedation
For respite of this desperation
But there is no reprise
No intermission
And these positions of control are held solely by the opposition
Hands up
Hands down
Hands behind your back
It doesn't even matter because we have tried all of that
and hands are still ending up in body bags
With zip ties still attached
In a casket where we the people are a business
don't forget that taxation is theft and they're trying to take the shirt right off your back but you are giving it to them
Make America great again...
I hate that statement
I'd like to know when we were ever great but hey that's none of my business
what can I say
I'm only a citizen
I'm just supposed to be proud of the way it all went down
and keep drowning in the debt pool that is now this country's crowded house
How are we supposed to figure this out when we have liars for leaders and wiretaps in our speakers and criminals being voted into the White House
it's all a pattern and the 1% are plaid
so we are all stuck here being the Stars and Stripes in a a fashion statement gone bad
there is a Civil War about to happen but we are all in the wrong
fighting to keep separated
fighting to keep regulated
Some are fighting to keep sedated
While others are just fighting to keep educated
because we are just animals in a cage
paid for by taxes taken out of your living wage
and the satisfaction of a thousand likes on your Facebook status update
Are you prepared with a gun or prepared with a solution?
No matter which one you choose
I'll still hash-tag this bullet on my tongue
Light both ends of the fuse outnumbered
and be prepared to start a fucking revolution
Let others and the author know if you liked it

Liked it alot?
