Song For Today

The day is bright the time is right
Today I write without compromise
And for those who choose to fake their tastes
I would say please amend your ways
And to poets now who seldom rhyme
What you do is but a crime
Now to all those runnin the damn rat race
You’re running around an endless maze
And the government aint doin nothin
Keep making money out of air or summin
The atmosphere has had its share
Its packin up sayin good bye take care
The Muslims got bombs in their pockets
the Christians now murder through corporates
The Hindus have learned to kill too
And there’s no love lost between the palestines and the Jews

Democracy was a lie sold to you
And screw all of em commees too
Nothing in the news is ever true
and googles the new man with the noose
the new America continues to play god
Oh now it’s a black man to dictate us lets all applaud
Education today has gone to the dogs
It just keeps turnin fools into snobs
Music has but turned dismal
Its just noises and thumps that sound abysmal
Films are no longer food for thought
They could make Kurosawa rot
And if one must want to grab a bite
One must settle for some fast food gripe
Oh I wish now for a stage to say
Welcome to the 21st centuraaaaay
Where everything’s a lie
Where hope has finally come to die
Now if I could offer any advice
I’d say advertise advertise advertise
