We Can

I tried my hand at some pseudo-informed political propaganda. It's one sided, but that's kinda the point. I have more to say, so I'll probably tighten it up and add some stanzas sometime.

 We the People

Have answers hidden in our faces

And morals held atop steeples.

We the People

Are so focused on our own races

That we might trip up our own shoe laces.

 

We the People

Answer the door,

Careful not to leave the cutting-edge

On the cutting-room floor.

We the People

Teeter on the edge

Foolishly numb to our everyday War.

 

We the People

Are thereby divided

Picking a team,

And staying one-sided

We the People

Have forgotten our Dream.

 

We the People

Rape our habitat

And use the diplomacy of rata-tat-tat

We the People

Chant "Drill baby drill!"

Haven't we had our fill?

 

We the People

Were tricked by a cowboy

And now a maverick

It's no surprise

We the People

Are suckers for their lies.

 

We the People

Can't lease Peace

But we can give change a chance.

 

We the People 

Can

We the People

Must.

you should send this to ron paul, he would love it.

We the People
Have forgotten our Dream.

for surely, my favourite line.

and this:

Careful not to leave the cutting-edge
On the cutting-room floor.

there's a great quote about how horrible commercialism is, because it attracts all the brilliant and creative young people to design and put out wonderful pieces - for commercials, billboards, magazines, and such. it leaves only the bland and obnoxious to create pop art. i believe the quote was finalized with "never before has so much been used to say so little". this very much reminds me of that quote.
