What is Democracy?


What is democracy?

But a partisan heist driven by hypocrisy

votes bought and sold

from the young and old

same song sung

on the tree of false promises

the poor man is hung

What politician is a politician of the people?

more like a lord, a master of sheeple

sheeple who have hope in talking points

while the puppeteers smoking joints

but there is no puff puff pass in their arena

just ask the six Suns down in Jena

Their peace pipe is empty, a fraud, a counterfeit

nothing about democracy is politically legit

the same families connected by pedigree

or social order of the masonic 12th degree

keep the masses thirsty is their decree

in the land of the captives that think they free

 

Thirsty sheep will always baa

for the master to lead them away

to the wishing well, even as they fall deeper and deeper

can't detect the hidden sheaf of the grim reaper

law men reaping our substance and the soul of our longing

tongues salivating

little red riding hoods’ wolf is waiting

to convict our conviction and the hope in our heart

never realizing all the players that secretly play a part

in convincing us democracy is real

even though we never really see the nation be healed

and for some reason its ok to ravage other backyards

convincing the unknowing to play cards

but,

I think the "unknowing" DO know more than we

having the sense to reject the premise of American democracy

at face value we slumber as we fall for the hype

but so-called third worlder’s won't even take a hit from our political crack pipe

so the insurgents get blamed for foiling the plans

to politically incarcerate the needy while true freedom is banned

 

As AmEricAns we are beautiful

Colorfully hued and fruitful

when will we wake

from our hypnotic state?

And adjust our moral compass

set our sights on the truth we can accomplish

I've been told "they" been waiting on us to recognize our gift

pray the prayer of Jabaez give humanity a lift

Lift us out of domestic and foreign oppression

this mental fog and spiritual suppression

Set aside this DE-MONcraft for true liberty

Live by the creed of HUE-humanity......

Raise our soul elevation

to the 7th heaven

there will be no more accepting to be accepting

Put the hypocrisy of democracy under lock and key

Free minds and live true American equality
