1. Fabrication

    christiansoul:

    no longer will I buy
    into the fabrication,
    falsified reality
    they’re sellin’ to this nation
    why must we consume the status quo
    as if it’s sustenance
    buy and sell us like cattle
    to try to rewind the present tense

    land of the free
    the home of the greed
    watch us bleed
    from their ivory towers
    where need
    isn’t known
    all we’ve ever seen is pain
    blood, sweat and tears
    leave a stain
    still we remain
    proud Americans
    refusing the medicine

    my brethren betrayed
    by the leaders who think they
    are better than the rest of us
    constantly messin’ with us
    never fails, and never ends
    if it were up to them
    we would never win…
    read between the lines
    for in the answer, the question begins

    • “The people camped out on Wall Street are not leaving unless and until they are cleared out by force. They look all kinds of silly in their outfits, and some of their statements don’t make a whole lot of sense to people like you, but they have put down roots, and you better get used to them. I’m sure the whole phenomenon is quite perplexing to you - really, why don’t they just go home? Don’t these people have jobs?

      I hate to be the Irony Police, but that’s pretty much the whole point. They can’t, and they don’t. Have homes and jobs, I mean. There was a guy out there a few days ago holding a sign in front of a mortgage-lending institution that read “These People Took My Parent’s Home.”

      There are all sorts of people walking around Wall Street yelling their lungs out at you because, well, they really would like the opportunity to find gainful employment, as well as a future, but that nifty shell game you and yours pulled off (on our dime) wound up immolating the economy of the common man/woman, and so the common man/woman has decided - in lieu of anything else better to do - to spend their you-created idle hours on your doorstep.”

      Couldn’t have said it better myself.
