Conversational pigs of larceny
have taken over our democracy.
Feeding us lies by the spoonful.
While bleeding us dry
barrel by barrel!
Soon we all will fall
if we don't stand and fight.
Revolutionize the industry of society!
With the downfall of ideology.
Break down the fortresses of fascism!
Constructing a new sense of realism.

Facilitate the beginning of a new era.
Where freedom is free.
Not paid for
with the blood, sweat, and tears
of those who are weaker than yourself.
We must end this reign of tyranny
that has taken over our land.
Will we stand idly by as the monstrous,
raging machine known as politics
devours
all in it's path?
Sadly, I believe this is how it will go.
Life is not fair.
In the real world
Evil
subjugates the masses with consumerism!

APPLAUSE!!

Voices speak that open eyes
hopefully the ego dies...
and when the final days arise
At least you know that you still tried!!

The Apocolypse; pre-destined, or self chosen?

Lead by greed and resentment ensues...
And here we are to pay our dues?!?
We fell right in to the dance of corruption;
how else to end but a blast of destruction!!

Excellent concept. I'm no poet so I can't offer any advice, but the idea is fantastic.
