in Transit
the mainstream is so
polluted with lies
once you get wet, it's so
hard to get dry
we're all taught how to
justify
history
as it passes by
and the world
that comes crashing down
when the big boys decide
to throw their weight
around
what if the
enemy
isn't in a
distant land
what if the
enemy lies behind
the voice of
command
the sound of
war
is a child's
cry
behind tinted
windows,
they just
drive by
all i know is
that those
who are going
to be killed
aren't those
who preside
on capitol hill
i told him,
don't fill the
front lines
of their war
those assholes
aren't worth dying for

It," Not

TV is after all
the modern day roman coliseum,
Human devastation as mass entertainment,
And the millions sit cheering, collectively jeering,
The bloodthirsty hierarchy of the patriarchal arrangement.
Science chases
money, and money chases its tail,
And the best
minds of my generation can't make bail.
~Ani Difranco
- "Many conflict theorists charge that there is thus a hidden curriculum in our schools:
that along with reading, writing, and arithmetic, students are taught
conformity and obedience to authority." James William Coleman and
Harold R. Kerbo, Social
Problems, 2003.
- The teacher stands in front of the class, but the lesson plan
he
can't recall. The student's eyes don't perceive the lies bouncing off
every fucking wall. His composure is well kept, I guess he fears
playing the fool. The complacent students sit and listen to some of
that bullshit that he learned in school.
