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
