hide it in the plot of the tv show until the commercials come back and your eyes
roll back inward and look again at...
you never set out thinking being right is something you will suffer for
you expect to suffer from the wrong after a certain age
when you have been to enough funerals
to see the scientific Karma of cigarettes
the chaos of car accidents
the rage at an infant so still
you see the suffering that is going to come even on the nicest of days
conjure memories that blot out the noon day sun
you never expect holding up a protest sign in the states is enough to be declared an enemy
watched and harassed and fought at every level
the very people who care the most about making the world better need encouragement
what entropy of evil has permeated out from our corrupt hearts
when we begin to forget the mission is to be free and just?
hundreds of thousands across the globe suffering cold and hungry in jails
beatings and isolation and mind bending psy-war shit
can't let them scare you
just can't
can't let them bait you
into buying guns and going to jail
just can't
I won't allow my enemies to push me to fight the laws I believe in
this is how I avoided jail for awhile
when some powerful folk wanted me there
until they sent me a letter saying to show up for court 30 days too late and threw me in jail
a trick there was no way to get out of...
the decision was made/they warned me
I lived and gathered and learned and am stronger
their jails no longer scare me like they once did
people on facebook all sound so brave as they swap articles and platitudes
everyone the king of the keys
they forget the lessons of the sixties and seventies
discount or blow all out of proportion the shit they see on the news
How will it end? My brother in law is afraid for their family because of my politics
they miss the fact that on the web you can see the difference between the ranting and the raving
There are mad ravers aplenty, their madness as often as not rooted in religion
orr some other omnipotent system that they are suffering under
I can stand before you and say hey this shit happened to me
and I lived and am stronger and I hope that helps someone sometime for some reason
