State of the Union

Posted on March 9, 2022January 31, 2023

*****************************************

Living at the dead end 

of a one way street.

Bars on the windows

Mental chains on your feet

A TV babysitter keeps you glued in every room

With every gory detail of our own eventual doom

The cities and towns I once knew so well are

People living in a hopeful despair

They don’t realize 

That their heros won’t come

To whisk them all away from there

Nowhere to go. Nowhere to stay

Lost in a labyrinth of doom and dismay

Trapped in a prison 

constructed in your mind

Spring wound so tight 

It’s broke and won’t unwind

won’t unwind, won’t unwind, won’t unwind

****

Can you here the sound of the “trickle down effect”?

I didn’t think so, and what did you expect?

“In God we trust” so all others pay cash

And if you don’t have it, you’re put out with the trash

Darwinistic society, good for the masses

More money and power for the so called ‘upper classes’.

If you’re born into a family of the privileged few

No ‘Laws of Man’ will be applied to you.

The Congress and the Senate

Just the same as ancient Rome

Corrupt to the core, to the marrow of bone

YOU are the sacrifice they lay before their gods

Like lambs to the slaughter the 99% plod

Afraid of the future and ashamed of our past

How much longer can this foolishness last?

Pretending you’re not shackled

from the cradle to the grave

In “The land of the free

and the home of the brave.”

The land of the fleeced

and the home of the slave.

The land of the fleeced

and the home of the slave.

The land of the fleeced

and the home of the slave.

Things have definitely driven off course, perhaps off the cliff. Not much to say about this song. It’s just how I feel about politics, fear, and society in general. A little bit dark but I think truthful.
