Don't pay your taxes,
uncle Sam will be all over your as-es.
You got to pay to play,
then you can say,
what you want to say.


Don't follow the rules,
forget the law like fools,
behind bars you go.
Act like you know!


Try to kill yourself and fail,
they'll put you in jail,
or
lock you in a mental hospital,
no way out until fatal,
label you mental,
no one will hire you,
everyone will fire you.


Freedom left to do what?
The rest of your life on your butt,
branded imcompetent,
live in resentment,
no trust in your statement.


A mirage in vision,
an optical illusion,
so goes the confusion.
We're free alright,
nothing seen at night,
so goes our democratic plight.

These Black and Blue Red Zone Days by Aberjhani
