Lee Degnan - .: [Static]: .

Welcome to a world
where nothing is as it seems
where beginning and end is
jumbled within like fragmented dreams
and love without hope,
and where hatred is stoked...
Endless is what it all means
Is it of God, or science...
your opinion? ... DEFIANCE
capitalized, demoralized
of many, one
Depicted as wholesome and clean
Spin city makes the shit gleam
How they make it shine for you
that piece of turd
Still the lies are bought willingly
we've bargained away freedom for senility
but who dares to utter
a discouraging word?

For that'll be the unsought strife,
For that'll shake up this ass-backwards life
created by dried up men
and their flimsy lies
who don't care what happens
after they die?
or about war zones, and families
and children's cries...
ignoring their questions
'why did you have to lie? '
Stagnant is the world
in a cesspool of lament and bigotry
with bitter engravings telling all
will be written so explicitly
lament, on a big block of cement
just 6 feet above us
marking the top of our heads...
Wake up and open your eyes, people!
for most of you I know will
quickly comment...
But to change your perceptions
was never your intent.

For those of you who seem
satisfied, being fat and lazy
and labeled, secured, shelved,
and the worldly details hazy...
Satisfied with the 'facts'...
because they've prepared them
JUST FOR YOU!
At least they've made it tasty
even if you know that
it was all lies they fed you...

As long as you get your tax cut.
