True Grit


The only way is up when rock bottom’s been hit

After your mind has been smeared from a fan full of shit

When life didn’t pan out quite exquisite

And you’re chewing real dirt tasting your own true grit.


It’s hard to be wholesome in a world so broken

Surrounded by sleeping minds afraid to be woken

Fractured leg-acies left bereft and unspoken

Whilst taken and took as a novelty token.


The denial of free thought and free speech through laws

Show the fights of the future won’t be physical wars

True freedom lives between those ears of yours

In the mind of a rebel who trebles their cause.


Fortune?


Making the mark

But it’s benevolence burst

Daunting and dark

A world that awards the worst.


Respect; it retreated

Future is frantically fearful

Discussion gets deleted

Tumult is tyrannic and tearful.


Riding the rails

Halfway heaven and hell

Fighting yet frail

Fortune? Forever it fell.


Profit for a Phalse Prophet


Isn’t it funny?

What people will do for money

The world still turns

No matter how much we earn


You can preach the scriptures

Or take some erotic pictures

But the only one that wins

Is a banker or a prince


Cause you’ll never matter at all

To those with collateral

And you can spend your time working

But the rich will suck your worth in


Our essence has been thwarted

By corporations who purported

Unrealistic rumours

That…

It’s quintessential to be consumers.


Distraction taco


Smoke and mirrors wed

Inhaling reflected tobacco

Getting filled with dread

By a distraction taco


Take your eye off the ball

As they bounce you out

While they have it all

And the truth you doubt


Political Punch

Overflowing the jug

Crumbled credit crunch

Swept under the rug


When you watch TV

Believing their proof

Blinded by fuckery

And don’t see the truth.


Pulling teeth for pure relief


The Mockingbird calls the shots

While politicking puerile plots

The blood it coagulates and clots

And History memory forgot.


Tears pour down Sorrow’s cheek

Hope cries out bruised and bleak

A universal losing streak

Would you want this Earth if you were meek?


The sense of loss from Zeitgeist’s grief

Innocents incur broke belief

Future frowns at Tomorrow’s thief

While pulling teeth for pure relief.


Money

It’s moronic that what we need
To survive as people
Creates poverty and greed
And is the square root of evil.

Money. You guessed it
Our master and commander
You bank it and invest it
To make your life much grander.

Poverty is an economic prison
Euros, pounds, dollars and deniro
Money talks and people listen
Until your balance reaches zero.

Greed is buying up all the property
And leasing it to the poor for rent
In a game of real life monopoly
Played by none but one per cent.
