Working within a breaking society....
Worker Bees, On Your Knees
when they scream, ignore their Pleas
Paint on a smile, chug along
while fascist chants drown out our songs
Build the Wall and Suffocate
are we prescribed this drugged out State
You must be white and nice and thin
throw out the rest in rubbish bins
Women scared to speak aloud
the grabbing leaches run the crowd
Who gets ahead when all is set
Fight the WARS then kill the Vets...
cost of living off the charts
Numb Your pain and snuff your heart
I offer nothing but my Voice
the illusion was that there was Choice
Please Show Some Love to My Blog, Being Kind Doesn't Cost A Freakin' Thing...

The masses need to wake up. It's hard with all of the madness going on.
info overload, keep us all so distracted and chaotic to not have energy or time to dig further

This was great Battle. You are appreciated!
as are you....thank you
Oh wow! Damn those words have a lot of feeling behind them. I want to say great job but it doesn't seem appropriate, but I will say that it was all just amazingly chosen and written. Keep up the amazing work. Perhaps a step outside might be nice, although problems it does not fix (I only said it cause I wanted to give you a new alpaca). Resteeming this cause it's awesome.
Alpacas forever! The Alpaca Initiative for spreading the good word of steemit, lmfao
@topkpop Thanks for the resteem!
I'm always amazed how you can manage to create this perfect poetry - and also send a strong and informed message within it. There is so much sad, terrible truth in your words course - but I think as much bad as we can find out there - the good still outnumbers it and the more we can promote the good maybe the tide it will change.

came here for "The Wall" (totally love the movie and the band). "grabbing leaches" - awesome description.
As I get older I tend to think a great deal deeper. This is a very deep poem commenting on our current social order. You are very clever thank you for sharing.
thank YOU for taking the time to read it <3

NIce...Have to say, I've felt this way
they will grab the wrong ones
Such powerful imagery! You, my dear, string words together like pearls on a necklace, always valuable and sought-after. Bravo!
that is very touching, sometimes these words have to come out
thank you my friend for being supportive
Mary Mary you're so good
You definitely mustn't move to the hood
Your voice is smooth and soft
Your legs are as long as Lara Croft
hehehehe
