Viral Sacrifice

House of cards collapses

Stock market crashes

Billionaires cry

While the people die

No tears for the workers plight

Only fear losing their economic might

Corporatists manipulate policy

And the media spews the hypocrisy

Infinite money for corporate bailouts and wars

Money to feed your family, there is just no more

Free market capitalism when everything runs well

Socialism for the rich, when everything goes to hell

Sacrifice human lives to “save” the nation

When it was humans that led to it’s creation

But it’s not the nation that needs saving, just the economy

That’s the white flash that blinds you, the ugly truth of the elite’s false dichonomy

To have you think you MUST sacrifice your life or the country is doomed

The results of having lost their souls, by greed they have been consumed

The insipid poison we drank for years has done it’s job

Mad men send death threats to health experts, while claiming to love God

The madness runs so deep

Further then you or I could ever reach

People willing to die to prop up the rich

It must be a glitch

In the system 

Of the human condition

Or rather conditioned to search for easy solutions to complex problems

Still, dying for elites won’t solve them

Citizens taught to distrust facts

Present empirical data and we feel attacked

No wonder we are dying in droves

Mass graves being dug right now, you didn’t know?

You didn’t know it’s normal to want to survive?

To not value the oligarchy over your own life?

When did America the Free 

Become America the land of the Elites?

The paper thin veil lifted by COVID-19

The real America, a sorry sight to see

Your desire to keep your family safe, scoffed at and called “laziness”

The ruling class sacrificing you? 

Saintliness

Bear witness to it all

Bear witness to the curtain call

The true virus has been with us all along

Those who sit in shadow and drink our blood

They paint a beautiful picture to fool us

So we chase

So we race

Towards giving all that we are, so they can feast

So they can eat, while we trudge

Through the dead bodies of our kin, through flesh and mud

And as we look above from our toil

Look to the heavens and see the royals

Constantly singing

Foolish twisted American ideology

The real sickness was always 

A political system that submits to the oligarchy

Welcome

I welcome laughter from your kind Who mock and scorn me like a fool: What I know well would make you drool In pools whose forms pollute my mind.

I welcome glares that think me odd In how I wander to and fro: Your line of sight is far too low To see the truth apart from fraud.

I welcome what you deem as weak And brand it well upon my chest Whose heart within knows little rest In aiding those you deem a freak.

Yet I will never welcome you Who seek a darkened veil at dawn. When shadowed paths are blindly drawn, You best not weep when death is due.

I am thankful for Bands like Bad Religion that always manage to stay relevant and call it like it is. By the way, this album is fantastic. #punkrock #punk #inspiration #influential #badreligion #socialcriticism #newmusic #workmusic #whistlewhileyouwork (at Solon, Ohio) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxkY5NlJqF7/?igshid=11o1wwuat1m0y

Bro, why you be like that?

Bro, why you be like that?

“Like, everyone in America should basically change to adopt baseball hotdogs apple pie and Chevrolet as their cultural identity.” Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you.

“We need a unified cultural identity and to discourage the celebration of international cultures. America is a melting pot, not a simmering pot, we are all supposed to melt into the same substance.” Yes, Chad, we are all supposed to melt into straight white men who like football, deporting Mexicans, and fucking 18 year old college virgins.

Fuck, I turned nineteen and I still didn’t get fucked. Well I’m fucked, aren’t I?

But wait, shit, if we are all straight men, then there won’t be any women to fuck. There’s always the hole cut into an abused teddy bear to turn to. A female teddy bear. Of course she’s female, she’s fucking pink! What do you think I am, gay? You think I would center my cultural identity around fucking a male teddy bear? Hell no!

“Oh, when the Italians and Irish integrated into America, the racism towards them ended,” you say.

And have you ever been to Hawaii? Have you ever been to a place where surprise, most people aren’t fucking white? You want me to give up purple ube ice cream served with coconut, apricot, condensed milk, and navy beans? Give up shrimp tempura and steamed white rice and chicken adobo and anything other than microwave tv dinners with more sodium than the Dead Sea?  So you can assimilate? So you can feel comfortable? You want the black girl in your computer science class to stop coming to class in dreads? You want the Chinese foreign exchange students to stop using chopsticks and stop talking about how much better food at home tastes than the pathetic dry rice and cheap noodles soaked in soy sauce and labeled “Asian” at the cafeteria?

I have so much potential, I really think I do. My potential is mgh, and I want nothing more than to maximize my height and convert it to kinetic energy at 9.8 m/s^2.

“DON’T YOU GET IT YOU STUPID WHORE IT IS YOUR FAULT THAT EVERYTHING IS SO AWFUL IT IS YOUR FAULT EVERYONE WANTS TO KILL THEMSELVES AND EACH OTHER.” Fine, I’ll eat a fucking burger and fries, then. Are you happy? Does that make it all better?

“We’re all the same inside,” you say.

You’re full of shit. You never thought we were the same. You always knew you were better, because you’re not a snowflake who identifies as gay or bi or trans and you don’t write poems about the trauma of being a person of color because you never lived it and fuck you if you have; it’s all your fault because you didn’t want to get along and play the white man’s game.

I find inner peace in the autumn. So sad that daily life don't let me enjoy autumn as much as I could. If I just would be a person who gives 100 % fuck of other people. Sometimes I curse my high sensivity so much. It's so much exhausting to learn setting boundaries to the agony in this world, to other people, mainly to people that are close to my heart. I think my cat helps me a lot. He is intelligent, demands love, peace and silence. He shows me what is important in life. And he often brings me back down to earth. Love him so much. And sometimes I hate humanity, the society and achievement-oriented society. I'm sorry to say that. Sorry not sorry. No wonder to sicken. Good night. . . . #autumnvibes #autumncravings #innerpeace #society #socialcriticism #fckppl #badmood #thoughts #highsensitive #hsp https://www.instagram.com/p/CWRRhtyMRdM/?utm_medium=tumblr
