Malaysian Bloodlust
by Frank Lee
Corruption in the media
crumbling visions of hope.
I rest speechless, glued to the boob tube.
Relaxed, yet, about to jump off the balcony....
maybe I am Columbia House music club(
Reading what im told to read)
feeding on what I want to feed;
Eurocentric
Our government divides the classes,
and controls the masses,
force-feeding stupid (uneducated,underpriveleged) suckers
our culture
were the vulture.
taking over governments that are falling apart
telling them to ignore us as we exploit their riches
making them live how we live
Columbus was a fugazi
a fake, a phony, a carrier of disease
but teach your kids he was an explorer, a visionary, a rebel, a hero
lie.
