well...here we go...

this ones a little dated....wrote it almost 9 months back...pls bear with me...

(dis)ORDER

government policies killing you slowly,
strangling the rights of the non powerful,
eating the fruit of the people's labor,
deeming the imperfect as freaks of nature,
forsaking privacy for the sake of
monitoring the movements of the uncommon man.

people claiming to fight for the underdog;
but using the faith of the masses
for their own fulfillment of
needs, wants, vices and greed.
breaking peoples and taking resources
barbarism for the new viking kings.

claiming order as a method of perfection:
but truly a way to control the people.
rules put forth for the benefit of the
capitalistic tyrants- the so-called alpha species.
pushing the downtrodden even lower underground.
free speech, liberty, and democracy - the untruths.

banning substances based on ease of manufacture
claiming they “scientifically study” an item for 36 years
(not one has died due to it unlike tobacco....)
shows it is “dangerous”, “deadly”, “lethal” even.
but one things for sure; truth be told -
whatever the case is, you will crave cookie dough.

spending billions to study “natural phenomenon”.
tell me, do we need to know, if for any reason
how ants will behave in zero-g, what about worms?
lives lost, hunger rises, children cry.
but what's most important is to truly know
how an ant colony behaves in zero-g!

thousands die per year in mistakes
made by the many various militaries on earth,
but if one shall suffer in an accident caused
not by the person who commits the "heinous crime"
but due to the faults in the corporations
he shall be considered "evil and obnoxious".

drug users are made to spend more jail-time than
murderers, rapists and pedophiles.
the people should set their minds straight
not knowing what the true wrongs are;
they go after people who do not hurt others
but "destroy" themselves through the substance.

"politically correct" nations destroy history.
artifacts of a civilization thousands of years old
to be looted by the common rogue for the
greed filled collections of some rich jerk,
not to be seen by anyone until his bribes run out
then the head honchos confiscate it as proof for 30 more years.

beware the word of the leaders of the system
because they lie for the benefit of their overflowing swiss accounts.
old wrinkled people with no understanding of how
the youth of the system feels tell us they do know
and take over our lives like nannies for an adult child!
breathing space taken away, many crumble and fall.

down with the system!
the new revolution is started, maybe underground but enough
to jolt the un-knowing into knowing their follies
and understanding how many suffer for their benefit.
rules made to break and un-make the seed of free thought:
we shall overcome all limits. the new dawn ascendeth!

living in a totalitarianismic, post ghandi-ist world
filled with dubya-esque people who follow
themes from shakespearean tales. (how cheap?)
"he tried to kill my father so i shall kill him"
what? is this the count of monte cristo all over again?
leave the theatricals to the actors and not the leaders.

ponder on these words for they are the sign of the times:
control, pop-culture, chaos, (dis)order, carnivore
privacy, war, terrorism, bushism, poverty, s.a.r.s.,
saddam, kidnapping, hostages, corporate domination.
is this what our time should be known by?
the new medieval-esque cannibalistic feudalists with a coat of candy?

a rebellious attitude – seed of the unstable.
a different path of thought - strange.
a new idea - totally unnecessary.
what then do we live for? do we not have curiosity?
if we are so much better off than before
then why are there so many problems on this forsaken place?

post script:

maybe someday the new “darvin”s and “malcom x”es
shall arise from the debris of modern life,
but for that we must breed free thought and free speech.
we cannot go on being perfect in an imperfect world
for from the imperfect rises the new, true perfect.
the phoenix shall rise from the ashes of the perfect.

POWER TO THE IMPERFECT!
