And He Rants Again!

We lost it,
Where did our marbles roll?
They got put in a net, like a soccer goal.
But the net is a social trap,
It's death in a pleasant mask.
Anyone up to the task of breaking that shell,
To let the world know that we're living in hell?
Or did ya'll already know that?
And if you did, why didn't you roll up the welcome mat?
But even if you lock your doors,
You can just flip on your TV's and evil will enter your brain core.
Instead of remembering "four scores and seven years ago"
We're gonna focus on making gas prices blow!
So while the rich get richer and the poor struggle with prices,
We're losing our freedom to an economic crisis!
It's war this, war that,
Watch that karma hit back!
Feel it kicking like a steel toe boot to the nut sack!
We lacked fact,
And believed our country was doing it to play hero,
Now watch it all crumble like the buildings that were once on ground zero.
I am not a sicko,
That's Michael Moore's job,
Not an angel,
But wish I could bring back those who died in grenade lobs.
But instead I'm coming with the force of an angry mob,
I'm heavier than Big Black that rolls with Rob!
And the non-fiction in the history books,
Shows this is the way our country cooks.
Our industries are crooks!
Nothing is distributed even,
We're ruled by our gluttony
And lust like demons.
There's barely any love,
Just the need to ejaculate semen
Into a pretty chick before we end up leavin'!
Well I don't care if I'm the odd one out,
If this is the definition of "Even-Steven."
And of course my friends, I'm far from common,
I'm rare, like true sightings of Bin Laden!
And I'm tired of all the bullshit I hear we have to go through,
I'm gonna start eating the optimistic sayings in my fortune cookies cause I need some soul food!
I hope something intervenes with all these fiends,
Because hope is burning away faster than this generations self-esteem!

Don't let it get to you my friend. These "fiends" exist because they know they can elicite a reaction. Don't react. It's that simple.

Humanities self esteem is low. Only because people have lost the art of feeling self-worth. They expect to get it at a vending machine or a supermarket. Which simply won't happen.

Our country gets itself into messes I will agree. Do to it's not understanding reality, but rather their deluded ideals that they hold dear. That relates to the saying, there is no right or wrong. Only action re-action.

Are the big corperate business crooks? Maybe, or perhaps they are just a collective hive of minds that want more then what they had when they were growing up, and that's the path they chose. no harm no foul.

You have hit upon valid topics. Now, what are you going to do about them?
Where's the action, where's the process to fix and promote a better way of living?

Just some thoughts and opinions that came to mind as i read this.

A wise sage once expressed to an army on the evening before battle, "Laugh at your enemy! It may not keep you alive, the indiviual. Yet, it will collapse your opponents moral, so that your brothers and sisters will be safe by the end of the day."

That's definately one way of looking at it and I agree with you quite a bit. I too find it difficult to keep up the hope in humanity, the hope that people can learn to treat eachother well, or at least as another human being with feelings and a life you may not hear about. However, everyday I try to hope, try to not lose sight of what people can become if we stick to our goals, stick to our ideals. Change starts from within then spreads.
I agree with Aaron, ignore them, but also "consider the source." What kind of person is it that's giving others a hard time? Is it really someone you want to waste your time on? If you're being targeted, it's difficult to ignore them, but it is possible.
Thank you for writing this piece, it's truly inspired. :)
