Blow the Lies Away

A month away from the 2008 U.S. presidential election, a rockin' blast of mine from '03, re the hijacking of democracy at the turn of the new century, as a reminder to Americans to wake the f**k up. As always, THIS MULTITRACK IS ON THE PLAYLIST PLAYER ON

Orwell bully pulpit, double-thinking bullshit

welcome to the fake USA

Prez is not elected, justice is neglected

newspeak is spinning the day

Terror's too convenient, keeps the public lenient

corporate golems still run the show

Zombies run on treadmills, Spirits born of new will

knowing where the wind's gonna blow

 

Reinventing human, happens every day

nothin' left but livin' deft -- Blow the Lies Away

Hero's evolution in the psi-mind way

wakes you true, out of the blue -- Blow the Lies, Blow the Lies Away

 

Civil disobedience, much more than expedience

rebel with a clue is the rule

Emerson and Thoreau, transcendental thorough

alone is only all one and cool

Declare independence from all non-resplendence

freedom from a second-hand world

True to deeper focus, past all hocus-pocus

into bolder ventures you're hurled

 

Reinventing human. . .

 

9/11 thousands, Election Day 2000

travesties so grim inside-out

Cultural confusions, national contusions

voting for the shadow of a doubt

Heroes in the ashes, villains wrapped in sashes

siege of usurpation up top

System's less than you are, how will you declare war

on stupid so defining pop/unpop?

 

Reinventing human. . .

Author's Note

Just the usual -- IT"S A WHOLE SONG HERE -- and a warning document for Americans to do their best to get back in the saddle of democracy, so that right-wing corporatism laced with addled religiosity can not continue to hijack the noble American experiment while yammering on about "terrorists" -- look in the mirror! Corporatist American foreign policy for the last frickin' 50 yrs. has BEEN a state terrorist activity in many instances! Chile! El Salvador! The "free" market is socialism for the rich, and economic terrorism for the poor. Hold shock tactic Friedman-ian economics accountable. Nothing unreasonable about Keynesian New Deal economics where ALL people are concerned. Government regulation only bothers sawdust sharks in suits, and their brainwashed guppies. Fuck 'em.

You are very intelligent Pax and I agree with your views of human dillusion.. no one cares to take the time and become educated in politics even though it directly impacts us. I relate our will to procrastination... doing nothing because you are too lazy to act only increases the work load in the end...

pretty soon we'll have rolling piles of dirty laundry chasing us down the street! Think about the stinky socks people!

[Alicia Schroeder]

Nicely done. Great words.

[Tate Morgan]

Man you hit the points that dominate my mind the senseless bureaucracy that follows the money the politics that say what they want to hear.The mindless worker bees churned out of ur institutions that wash rinse and repeat.All in the name of corporate freedom toy tell us what to think.I wonder will man ever take control of his life and quit selling it to the highest bidder .I even saw Glenn BECK Quote that the almighty was behind hill Man .At least steven Hawking is a breeze in a desert of thoughtlessness.Why is it so hard to see the future for what it is .A hive of worker bees and a few queens
Bravo as always you are the most intelligent man since Davinci And he was reported to have an IQ of around 220.If I was going to follow anyones ideals I think that I might explore yours as they show intelligent thought individual ideas

I love the visual of the zombies on the treadmill! I love this write. So much to take in.

[NoneOfYourBusiness akaK..]

completely gripped~ humanity is doing an excellent job catching itself all up into moronic interludes in its own crafted marionette strings~ little thoughtless spiders chewing avidly at the glass teat while their sense ruptures and the most important thing flips to two word discussions about Britney's t*ts~ hahahha~that is not amuse laughter it is painful~ what have we done?!~

[Ruth]

Amen! Pax, awesome love!
There are so many lies we are told, mind controlled into believing!
9/11 - well, the events of that tragic day are questionable! I belive nothing anymore, the Illuminati may have our physical selves but can never have our souls!
This piece is f**k cool!
xx

[Tracie Skarbo]

So many great lines in here... and so much truth as well. Far too many Zombies on treadmills for my liking...

Government regulation only bothers sawdust sharks in suits, and their brainwashed guppies.--Love this!!

Going in my favs

[Deborah Leah Krempa]

[Red Rose]

reading this i feel that we are of like mind to some extent. if you would read my "kill if we must" and "chasing soap bubbles" as well as "s**t might happen."

While digging back in the oldies section � a very powerful message that unfortunately as still very relevant today. You throw out a lot of powerful images but being a bit of a traditionalist, this works much better for me in its music form. Reading this aloud, I don't feel as strong of an impact as listening to the music version. Musically, it's leaves much more of an indelible mark that gives it a very strong staying power.

More great stuff � keep on truckin' Mr. Peace �
