Fuck Mainstream America

byseannelson©

I'm sick,
soul-sick,
tired,
"cold and bony tired;" REM
my mind is full of scorpions
and it seems like no one can minister to this mind diseased;
I don't feel right
walking on the street,
drinking coffee by the mind-stunting TV,
or often even reading
or in my dreams.
But fuck it,
"fuck it," I say,
I'm not gonna break,
and I aint' going away;
I'm not for sale
and I ain't gonna pray;
Today's God is the FBI
and those who spread aristocratic lies
(dressed up with rosaries
or vapid portraits of Christ)
and soon they'll pass away
victims to a revolution that doesn't need my sway.
I'm just putting literary on the cake
and I do it gladly
because I'm full of hate
for all who long to be a higher caste
and all the Americans who greedily buy
the house-on-the-hill neo fascist lie.
People who live in trailers
support politicians controlled by country club men,
and people who live in huts
and ransack shacks support all of them;
and I grew up amid it all,
thinking the news meant something real,
hearing the MTV, rock'n roll call,
thinking it was more than veneer
and it isn't:
it isn't, you hear?
It's all a fucking game:
Fifty-Cent, Jay-Z, and that Idol "Clay"
are all the same:
a bunch of lame mouth-pieces
the second selling out his very race
with that "gangsta" uncle tom smile on his face.
I've done more artistically
than a billion dollar's worth of them,
and I'm not even free
to walk the streets and do my thing;
I've gotta watch out for thugs
inspired by the lasted B action flick,
and for American cops
who are wired like gestapo pigs:
I see through your "bourgeious" words and wigs:
the centuries changed but it's all the same,
and we've got one last chance:
trust me it ain't no game
and then this globle'll flame up and do one last dance:
consuming the Taliban and the CIA,
the Kremlin and those who to Buddha pray,
killing every Reagan voting,
preacher worshipping, gun-toting American:
Well, at least it's not all bad:
you hear me, there's a message with this rant:
Don't try to walk on imperialist water;
!!!I guarantee you can't!!!
