under the auspice of freedom (lies)

by Daryl Fein

when you wake,
do you feel the hands of government in you're pocket?
as we all know,
the powers that be care little for us,

with or without Bush this place is fucked
with or without Bush we're fucked

see as the emergency vehicles rush to the scene of the nearest dividend,
see as they rush to pay themselves before the days end,
see as they rush to deny help to those who need it most,

total subordination required,
you might lose you're house and car but thats fine,
as long as the goverment gets paid to lie,

with or without bush this place is fucked
with or without bush we're so fucked

secret agencies are making files on us all,
only to finger and pry our wallets some more,
how many ways can you raise a tax that doesn't exist?
no nomenclature known can remedy this,


I know it's essential to keep the common man in line,
I know it's essential to pay taxes on my money five times,
I know it's such a burden shielding us from all those lies,
generations of selfish servants deny our rights,

and when you're head down at you're kitchen table,
adding up you're aggregate debt,

remember that the country of you're birth,
would like nothing more,

than to see you on welfare, or dead, to collect everything you've worked so hard to defend,
moving on to you're kids,
and sucking them dry to no end,

there is no way to mend this contempt toward the average american,
the power whores continue to laugh at us,
as they make you feel GOOD about being robbed under the auspice of freedom.

Author's Note: this is just the tip of the iceburg, If I could only explain, how many ways our government is constantly swindling us for our money, money we've already paid taxes on. several times over. the sad thing is, our elected servants would rather escort us to freshly dug graves before changing the system. in sumnation, with or without Bush, this place is fucked.

another instance where both your poem AND your author's note rock and are intense... "the auspice of freedom"... damn good term... hmm, how much do you think you're paying to write your poetry?... thanks for oiling my brain and making it think... blessings...
