Try To Stop Me

American Hip-Hop.

They'll try to stop me
Probably try to offer me
a whole lot of money
which I find kind of funny
because the truth can not be bought
it can only be fought for
I know - it's all I ever sought for
ever since I was brought to
my first day of school where
I was treated like a fool because
instead of trying to be cool I was
a thinker and I was a dreamer,
but now I'm a teacher here to teach you
the dire lessons of the higher heavens
of which you ignore with no more amor
you existentialist nihilistic pessimistic socialists
founding father hating, under appreciating,
slaves waiting for a raise they're never going to pay
and they tell you to got to the left
and they tell you to go to the right
and blindly you always go
without ever learning -
going forward is the only way into the light.

Meanwhile, the rich just sit in silence
while the poor react in violence
and all the tyrants
hide behind the sounds of their sirens
and It's f*****g disgusting
this corruption erupting
from shinning sea to shinning sea
as our lady liberty
moans oppression throughout this recession
and our kids slit their wrists and wish
they didn't exist
but despite all of this
you - you let it persist
because as it all happens
you remain trapped in
front of your televisions
where the mirrors and screens
paint your portraits of reality
conforming all your dreams
and fettering you to fallacy
while I'm on my hands and knees
begging you awake from this fantasy
deafening you from the screams
trying to break free from this tragedy.

[Fabian G. Franklin]

This was excellent. Very powerful and moving satire and social commentary. But not all that glitters is gold nor all that seems spoiled is so. Some cheese seems rancid and moldy but it's harmless or maybe even good for you. I must agree that watching the infernal b**b tube and allowing the idiot box to influence our thinking processes is most certainly detrimental to every higher cerebral function. I feel much the same about the "one size fits all" memes on social media with comments underneath proclaiming them as immutable axioms. I get the gutsy feel of a soldier of truth going out to wage war here. Good for you. I enjoyed the read.
