Dismissed out of hand

If you havn't already guessed, Iam a bit pissed with the current state of the world.

 

The arms race

With greedy hands

Starving people

Across our lands

 

Capitalist greed

Protect the brand

Exploit the workers

For profit they demand

 

A crippled health system

Where your wallet is scanned

And generic medicine

In poor countries banned

 

A biased media

With the news carefully planned

They will sell your opinion

For cash on demand

 

To educate the masses

Is dismissed out of hand

Because knowledge is freedom

And this they understand

 

And so it has been

The masses are out manned

The strong rule the world

And true love is banned.

That I hope soon to be extinct dinosaur, our government, is bludgeoned and beaten as thoroughly as the freedom of the law lets me without jail time.
