Blind Justice

what we need right here
is the paine of truth
anything else is no use
even if you break down
to the floor and cry
till the day we die
the lies multiply
check the truth
get the truth in your vein
go straight to the brain
to the back of your eyes
where the state truth is a lie
we use to justify
all this race to die
how have we forgotten
that we are alive?

with all that we have
in this taco-hell culture
could we justify the truth?
that is just a lie
we use
for all the death
that we let loose
now it's my turn to cry
I get that it sounds a bit hopeless,
but seriously, as a country...
take a look at the choices we make
...are they healthy?
Will you begin to doubt
the Fuqn Lines
every leader spouts
from their pulpit
while kids in other countries
die in coal pits?
Well i'm sure youve heard
about blood diamonds
but here we are flossing?
I think we get
where this road goes -
an eye for an eye
makes the whole world blind
but if this world stays this way
I might just cut out mine
I can't keep my eyes open
and just ignore
the crime commited is vain
and to think it's been commited
 in god's own God damn name...
is a shame I can't stand
 the ten commandments
Clearly forbade this blood we spill
in our lust to kill while we all sit at home
watching home shopping networks
crossing our fingers
that our next job
comes with health perks
and a platinum gas card
to fuel up the tank
with that prehistoric extinction
that we desperately need
to just barely survive
we sold our souls
for diamonds and gold
but can we take them with
when our hearts grow cold?

So instead we hide
behind the illusion
of hollywood lenses
and cameras, as washington
blows up everyone else.
did you know that urban myth
of depleted uranium
on the way to your cranium
is the death and disease
we spread across the whole world
our only home turf is fertilized
with indigenous bones
while we hang out in starbucks
chewing three dollar scones...

Can we cut down the tree of life
Is it right to give this truth I spit?
I think that black is the new white
so people of any color
can choke on this,
the taxes you pay
and the people it slays
turning in the grave
is the lives of many fertile minds
of children we killed
with land mines and AK's -
Death is the only product
that we export
so tell me now
that your eyes begin to open
can you find a way to stay away
from hell?
I know you didn't know before
but you better dig it now
would you look for a way out
from your share of the war?
I have my own
reasons to rhyme
before the end of my time
so take care where you step
Don't try to find trouble
worst case scenario
Joe tried to rumble
so he could feel strong
but when the fresh pain
subsides,
it fails to hide
the true pain inside
A jail cell without bail
does that idea
make your head swell?
we know its a system
we need to attack
The heart of our culture
choicking on a big mac...
and fries...
These tears?
- I cry
simply
because
we refuse
to open
our eyes...

A Source for water

This story is the river,
we are all the flow

Finding some new pages,
Down the river as we go

Shining light to end the silence,
Ringing bells to end the violence

We have ears and we have listened,
We have eyes and we are a witness

we have feet to find our path
This rebellion grown from the grass

We found a new kind of tomorrow
With plowshares we shall sow

We choose a life worth living
Our roots are strong and slow

We live the life of the water,
beneath all the cities we flow

When the sun rides on to tomorrow,
The moon will show us the road

as no shadow can bear the sight of a flame-
All of us victims know who is to blame:

We grind up our bones to pay for their loans
when could an empire feel like a home?

Well the god's and their thundering cannons
stood on two towers all made of gold

don't care for the good ants down below them,
Bearing more than their share of the load?

While Two Towers fell down in two perfect square holes
A few of us ants knew the lie we were told

Now the war machine will pretend to rebuild
on foundations all blown full of holes

And now we all know they would blow up the world
Just to silence our banners unfurled

on that day the war fields will all be gone
that day the red flowers will all stand alone.
