F*** the Tea Party


Though many don't know about it, it constantly grows, The tea party is wrong and it must be exposed, It's a conservative republican organization, Contrived with lies to disguise bigots and racists, But listen to my words and heed my information, The tea party fights to continue the oppression of the poor in this nation, Their goal is to control the polls and asisst in the perpetuation, Of class oppression and gives it a justification, Their agenda may include budget cuts and less taxation, But they misinform so don't conform to their lies and prevarications, They equivocate with empty promises and misinformation, To stimulate the misapproriation Of the wealth in this nation, You can say that I'm crazy or say that I'm hating but I can't trust any party headed by Ron Paul and Sarah Palin, Every time I see Palin I can't help but wonder, How America isn't sick of her and Joe the plumber, They fight for less government spending and federal payment, That would drive the welfare and social security users into the pavement, They fight for capitalism and no government business regulation, so they can continue to transfer minimum wage surplus labor into their banks and savings, And as long as rich, white or republican is one of your prerequisites, They claim they'll lower your taxes and fix the budget deficit, But to me the words they speak are irrelevant, Because they're in the middle of the room and their ignoring the elephant, Their quick to turn and slander the democrat donkey, But last I checked democrats aren't funded by former klan and white supremacist honkies, Theyre like the modern day KKK and it's become increasingly evident, As a matter of fact I'm surprised David Duke isn't the founder and president, The use media and propaganda to play on the public's mind to keep us abstinent to intelligence, Closing our minds completely to keep us mentally sullivent, And though many don't know when they vote in polls, The tea party is wrong and must exposed, If your under middle class then the Tea Party's your foe, Because they want to stay in the highest of highs and keep you at the lowest of lows, Their party is comprised of 70% poor white uneducated sothern baptists statistically, The same kind of people who formed the confederacy during slavery, So can someone please explain to me, If they ruled the country how would this nation be? They're also funded by Rush Limbaugh, America's favorite obese racist pig, Who built his career on racial slurs and bigotry to make it big, Exarcebating problems and generating political drama, And slandering everything from Clinton to president Obama, They're also funded by the Koch brothers, Two of the richest men in country, Who are more concerned about their oil investments than poor American kids that go hungry, Then Chris Christy makes sardonic comments that the public always finds funny, But why laugh when up 2% holds fourth tenths of the national money, They even got Uncle Toms like Herman Cain and Ward Connerly who think that Tea Party's plan can help the economy, The website creator Dale Robertson's sign said "Congress are slave owners and niggers are tax payers," And with a ideology like that how could I not be a naysayer? The oppression and discrimination is blantant and bold, The tea party is wrong and it must be exposed, They claim to be original constitutionalists, But if you look at the Bill of Rights women and minorities aren't even included in it, They claim they're inspired but the Boston Tea Party, But it's ironic because it was poor colonists against a rich British army, So in retrospect, the elite are the british and the poor are the colonists, So it's time we revolt against these Tea Party political caucuses, From the House of Representatives all the way to the Senate, It's time we stand up oppose the menace, It's time that we fight for the redistribution of wealth, Make a real difference and stand up for ourselves, It doesn't matter about your race, religion, or creed, It's time for us to fight and open our eyes and see, So I'm telling this to you all who really don't know This nation is on fire and it's about to explode, I have to fight against oppression for as long as it goes, And I will not rest until the Tea Party is exposed!

SIMbolic

My name is Simeon Carson and I am 20 years old. I was born in Harbor City, California and received the majority of my upbringing in Compton, California. I graduated from Dominguez High School in June of 2011. My role models are Huey P. Newton, 2pac Shakur and Malcolm X. Since my adolescence, I have been fascinated with the English language and wordplay. Since words were and still are my forte' I've spent countless hours studying the dictionary and literature beyond school. At the age of 8, I was regarded as prodigy because of the advanced English skills I had developed. I had honed and refined my skills near perfection, but I was not satisfied; I decided to find a creative outlet to showcase my talents so I took up poetry as a hobby. Year after year I gradually improved until I had become a prominent poet in my neighborhood. Growing up in the Compton, which was known for various rappers such as N.W.A. and Ice Cube, I was exposed to the urban hip-hop culture and I also took up rapping as a hobby. When I reached the high school level I had decided I wanted to be a lawyer and eventually a politician. I always had a passion to lead so I became involved in organizations such as the Black Student Union and Associated Student Body in High School. After a year of dedicated service to both organizations, I was elected Senior Class Vice President and the Black Student Union President. The B.S.U. encouraged me to study history and analyze my surroundings. As a result I developed a radical critical consciousness. It became evident in my poetry that I was becoming more aware of my surroundings. I took notice of how modern hip hop pollutes the mind of the youth and I stopped rapping completely and focused on my poetry.After meeting the urban spoken word artist Food4Thot I decided wanted to combine hip hop and poetry so I became a spoken word artist as well. As of September 2012, I have served as the resident poet for 90.7 fm's Tuesday night political talk show, Beautiful Struggle. I have also made appearances on New Era Radio and as a teacher for the Occupy LA movement, I love poetry and hip hop equally, so I decided to use my talents to educate the misguided youth of my generation. The subject matter of my poetry now reflects serious political and world issues such as racism, child molestation, capital punishment and a majority of other controversial issues. There is nothing more satisfying to me than being able to do what I love and help people at the same time. I rhyme for the people.
