UNEASY EXISTENCE

FREEDOM…just another word for nothing left to lose?
Or something undefined
In the uneasy existence of the U.S. of A.
And around the world…?

FREEDOM…what does it mean in the here and now
When jobs thought secure have been farmed out overseas
When people on the borders bear arms
Because they feel so threatened

When the Sheeple of America
Wake up to find finally
That their santictified illusion
Of the American Dream
No longer exists…

That it has been eroded
And corroded for decades…

It started when our fathers and brothers
Lost their manufacturing jobs in the 80s
Now our personal information is
Processed, filed, converted overseas
By specially trained staffers
With anglesized names and accents
Who say they direct you to locations
Mere blocks away…

It is a WTF moment in time
When you realize that
Globalization means
Colonization and control
For the peons of the world

No longer in marginalized countries
But in your own
Where the real color that counts
Is GREEN…and not eco-friendly
But Bank-friendly…

If I win the lotto this week
You will shake my hand
And be my best friend for
The next 20 years…
Then I am considered free…

2011 is a defining year
Year of slavery it is
For those in debt
Those who work and find
That their parents’ American Dream
Has become their
American Nightmare.

So, what does
FREEDOM mean today?
Free to do what?
To live how you may?
Is it still true that hard work and education
Pay their way
As they once did?

It is a different world…
FREEDOM still exists…
But today
You have to pay for it…
In more ways than one.
