To Serve or not to Serve?

How the hell did we come to this?

Watching people argue over two bowls of shit

The lesser of two evils is still the same pig stuck on a spit

He said she said histrionics designed and implemented to distract

While the members of the plutocratic boys and girls club laugh

As they continue to build a world where we serve their elite class

The word profit is our god

Money, consumption, and self-gratification is our law

A shift from the values held by the generation of my grandpa

How the hell did we come to this?

When did we become so apathetic?

Why are these unqualified people our choices for congress and president?

Government is an extension of our humanity

A representation of our collective psychology

The answer we search for lies in our history

Budgets and industry regulation are determined by legislation

People argue about left or right; I assert both political parties are on the same side in this fight

Together with the military-industrial complex they work diligently to enslave their subjects

The Media, the executive branch, and the legislative branch are an aberration of their former self

Working together to further an agenda of aggregated wealth

Instead of performing their designed function of keeping each other in check

How the hell do we overcome this?

What can WE do to clean up this mess?

In my humble opinion this is no time to protest

Instead, action is what I suggest

Legislators and money write the rules

Now is our time to utilize these tools

Government positions and politicians are played by people who have visions

Our history has been written by men and women who want us to live inside their prison

Their decision is not final, and we can restart progression by creating a future worth living

Today is the day to no longer stand idly by while our people slowly die inside

I urge anyone who reads this to reconsider the function of government. This entity is supposed to be a representation of the collective will of a society that it governs. Therefore, it is now that intelligent, and informed, individuals must consider how much of an impact a role within government will make. We can change the direction of this sinking ship, but it will take all of us to mutiny against our tyrannical captain, and his first mate. 

Much Love,
