open your eyes

I'm sick of all the puffy foo foo

shit i been reading these days

love this love that

oh how cute ... oh how nice

i read poems about how lovely the sun is

or fucked up poems about shoes

or some major fucked up shit about

someone in love one day

then break up the next day

only to find true love

2 weeks later in someone else?

give me a fucken break

with your fucked up lines

and your fucked up rhyming shit

i want some reality and I'm not talking TV

or Anna Nic or Posh Spice

i am talking real shit

about civil war

US soldiers

getting killed and maimed

for higher oil profits and a US friendly Arab state

Weapons of Mass Destruction = War On Terror

NO Weapons of Mass Destruction = War On Terror

say what?

all the while the press diverts your attention with Extra and ET

MTV BET CMT anything with asses and bling

how about some really hot shit like genocide in Africa

Rwanda Darfur

humans killing humans

but you don't know because your world is so small and

only includes Vegas LA and Miami

so you need something a little bit closer to home or

homeless

something right in front of your eyes

yea that's it

how about that guy

that you ignored while you walk on by

with that wad of cash that you got in your pocket

only to feed the corrupted backward ass corporate Starbucks

how does that mocha taste now?

flavored with the blood of nations upon nations

the blood of natives and slaves

the sweat and tears

of immigrants and stowaways

political refugees

order up that oppression and discrimination

over sexual orientation

and color

oh yea add whip

on the shit ...

But you can't taste it because you don't see it

so you don't know it

so it's not there

and that is just exactly what they want

open your eyes ... think ... express ...
