not for sale ( subtitled: watching the news)

Earth School test #9
patience wrapped in a tolerant bun
cheap-steak jaw-breaking tough meat,
it ain't easy to chew, to keep it all down
when a kid on pcp runs you into a ditch,
but instinctively you've learned to guide
your van back up onto the highway
with measured breaths....it's an angry road
monumentally wrecked and framed
by a question I once read as a kid

in Zap comics....Is dis da system ?!

there was this monster born in the womb
of a capitalistic leper with bedsores, deformed
by this traveling salesman everyone called The Market
and this Market fella well he gamed the game,
ensured that there would always be pain and suffering, he
refused to share, and called his ilk winners
which I guess makes me a loser by that logic,
it's a tale as old as time and just as sordid...
well, all I can say about that...is Fuck Him
my soul ain't for sale

Of course "you'd take it." Wasn't that kind of the point?

Nice one.

Not for sale but often for rent for to the almighty dollar- half of the people have forgotten who they were
The spineless consider the truth but do not invest in it
There is no profit in humility : ego laced psychological terrain
Is dying- and we are celebrating that today there is no one but ourselves to blame
For believing the lies of comfort and security and more more more
I want to buy some more happiness
It is not for sale
Apparently it requires intention and good energy
Really
Then and only then is the whole market fair trade

I don't like the idea of selling your soul, though I get it. Can you really give it away like that? I think it's yours to own as long as we're into ownership; beyond that it's a little hard to say. Ya gotta grow up real quickly when you're born among multiplying wars of all kinds, and sometimes you just grow down, not up..
