Leaders

Post by mnaz » May 12th, 2018, 2:50 pm

Leaders shouldn't lead.
No clue about life for billions.
They talk in power riddles and
politicks and jack off to money.
All the king's men and rappers
can't fix that self perpetuated,
self justified religiosity.

They don't see horizons,
only mountains to strip,
people to shackle and trip,
either in the way or useful.
Eliminate them if not useful.
You've got a big enough army.
It's gone on for a long time.

The American Psychological Association should really spend some time looking at and naming this very specific mental illness

because it isn't sane to destroy the very planet that gives you life, nor is it sane to destroy that planet's occupants to simply add more billions to your coffers that are already abundantly full

with capitalism ( and specifically the stock market I am told ) corporations have a legal obligation to do WHATEVER it takes to make more and more and more and more money

obviously that's insane.....and citizens of the earth are basically docile about it all....like the lobster in the pot...initially it feels like a nice warm bath

protest.....dissent ...the only way out of this habit
If you do not change your direction
you may end up where you are heading

It seems the disconnect is just going to get larger and larger. Protest might help, but protest might also earn you a hail of rubber bullets from riot cops, as the 'Occupy' folks found out a few years ago. Where is the soul of this place?
