When Revolution Comes


When revolution comes the establishment is never prepared. Usually they respond with violence to attempt to suppress the masses. This has happened in Iran, Syria, Libya, and now in the United States.

Since this is the largest democracy in the world, we are compelled to allow civil discourse to take hold. The politician are confused by this especially the Republicans.

Yes they embraced the Tea Party but only because it fit their constitutional agenda. But this grass root movement by occupy wall street is different, It stands for the 99 percent of Americans that are affected by the poor policies of government and big business alike.

The problem is that we bailed out the large corporations and allowed them to bounce back while we continue to plummet into a repressive situation when it comes to jobs in this country.

The Republicans continue to protect the rich and kill the middle class spirits while knowingly understanding the root of our pain.

Occupy America should be the battle cry in order to bring us back to the true values this country states it stands for. So when revolution come make sure you're ready.

Godless



He could not navigate between anger and insanity
Eyes enraged like a rabbit animal
He runs with a pack this day
Embolden by his support by crazies
He sees her and beats her on the street
As if she was never a part of his memory
As if he never loved her
He allow his friend to beat and stomp her
As he watched her cry as he watched her die
Did he look into her eyes and realized her pain?
As she closed her eyes for the last time
What was her crime aside that she angered him?
Left in the street discarded and battered
No one intervened as if it did not mattered that
A mother, a woman, some ones child
Existence was erased by a crazy, angered man
Who chose to be Godless.

Liberal Manifesto II


When it’s war it war!!!

No more turning the other cheek

Looking so meek

That the lion smells the fear in the air

The coyotes even catch a sense of the aroma



As you stand alone in a desolate forest

Dark and cold no light shines through the darkness

Just embers of stars.



But in this war its life or death

It’s regression or progression


You ask yourself

Am I ready for the test?


Your heart beats fast

But in this race you have to last

As they raise their army to gain strength

You must stay resolved in what is right


Ready to put up a fight for the weak

It’s time for the meek to inherit this earth.


Stop the rebirth of the conservatives

The ones who changed the way we live.


Killed our economy, killed our kids,

Planned to take the money and run.


But since we kicked them out

The battle has just begun.





They want control of the world church

Never mind the millions they hurt

They just want it back.


Fools resurrected from what seemed a certain demise

Back on earth like the new Jesus to our surprise







Yelling Tea Bags for all Americans as they attempt to sand bag our choice

attempting to drown out our voices that were cast as votes.

As if they didn’t remember that we won.


But it is not enough for these conservatives who want to rewrite the constitution

Re-Ignite a civil war and re live the last eight years of trickery that made them believe

That everything was just fine.


Never mind, a great depression, lives lost in a war of aggression, No WMD’s,

No answer to Katrina’s pleads, our economy in the tank, and used Wall Street

to rob the banks.


So don’t step back, step forward with the fire of those who tread the waters to get us where we are today.


And for those who yell fire in a theater, for them we will pray.

That they will be cured of their insanity and hatred and take a liberal approach to being conservative.







A quote from the past:


A conservative is a man with two perfectly good legs who, however, has never learned how to walk forward.”


Franklin D. Roosevelt
