The day that I knew that war was real
was a day I will never forget
aired lived on international television
2,993 deaths
murdered by our own weapons
commercial airliner jets
The day that I knew that war was real
was the day that it hit home
The day that I knew that war was real
was the day we were the target

Fuck DADT!
Don't Ask, Don't Tell, Don't Be, Don't Exist, Lie!
Don't share who are, just resist, Deny!
You can't openly serve for our country, Why?
Don't be open, go back in the closet!
Your not hetero enough to fight, where is the logic?
It makes no sense and it's about time we stop it.
Your too gay to protect our nation,
This is brainless discrimination.
How exactly is sexuality relevant to a military situation?
You can't be a soldier, because you're too queer.
You can't fight for our honor, choose a new career.
I can't understand it, What exactly do they fear?
That you might spread gay cooties on the other army boys?
That you'll be applying eyeliner when you batallion deploys?
That you'll misuse your guns as anal sex toys?
This is absolutly ridiculous!
Let's get rid of this.
This ignorant law is painfully ludicrous.
How many skilled technicians need to be discharged?
It's a violation of civil rights, that we have fought for so hard.
Freedom is so important, please don't disregard.
Our Army needs able troops, can't they comprehend?
Because of ignorant fears, brave Americans can't serve and defend.
Because of homophobia, our military is now weakened.
This law must be put to an end!

2007
2007
Give and take
subjected lives
The crave for war
never dies
Humans as trade
a nations investment
Misguided warfare
only fueling resentment
Excused target
Islamic Terroism
Blind devotion
a soldiers heroism
Political interference
a foreign civil war
the recurring question,
What are we fighting for?
Imposing values of corrupt politicians
only further enraging a timeless confliction

Foreclosure
As Wall Street crashes
Main Street is left in ashes
Burning homes
that the bank now owns
no hope for loans
Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac
corruption
with government back
Near Trillion dollar bailout plans
to aid investors
and those in foreign lands
The American consumer needs to spend
ease their fear of the crisis at hand
Too little, too late
a topic for debate
We didn't have time to wait.

Internet Infiltration
Internet technology is to agressive
mind polluting, controlling
dominating and paroling
obsessive
It can make you crazy and disturbed
leave you in agitated confusion
like a hallucinogen
perturbed
It is a dangerous linking of information
empowering thieves, burning feeds
cookies and seeds

Fuck Me If I'm Wrong
Fuck the world and it's thick fog of ignorance!
Fuck stupid people who have no tolerance.
Fuck hatred and fuck greed!
Fuck everyone who can't see
that diversity is what we need.
Fuck everybody that is stuck on their cloud.
Fuck people who fear change because they're too proud.
Fuck genocide and fuck religious war.
Fuck all those who think they know
what we are fighting for.
Fuck the homophobic and fuck all the racists.
Fuck airport security for "profiling" terroists.
Fuck people who claim to be accepting.
Fuck the people who look in the other direction.
Fuck religious leaders and fuck politicians.
Fuck muslim extremists and trigger happy christians.
Fuck the chosens ones who call themselves the elite.
Fuck all religious activists
who don't practice what they preach.
Fuck anybody who is offended by this.
Fuck you all,
because without eachother we couldn't exsist.
Fuck it all, we have to get along!
and you know what...
Fuck me if I'm wrong!

A True Leader (Barack Obama)
he speaks with such certainty of a vision so clear
he has a dream and like Martin,
he knows how to get there
he radiates hope that a change is gonna come
he has a plan and give us all hope
that we have needed for so long
we shall overcome, we shall win this race
we will hear the sweet sound
the sweet sound of amazing grace
this new grassroots movement has stretched across this earth
so many people, with so many reasons
all pray for a political rebirth
he's a modern day hero and he is a true leader
he reaches out to everyone
from the homeless to the blog readers
he took us from muddy waters to mountains high
crossed valleys deep and rivers wide
change can happen, if we try
from the roots, through all the struggles and all the grief
from the civil rights movement
to a black Commander in Chief
the world is changing, he is proving it to us
he is now sworn into presidency in god we trust
he is making history and brings us hope from fear
whatever happens down the road, remember that we have made it here
Swing low sweet chariot because change has come
We have gathered and we have won!
but at the same time change has just begun
Change is gonna come
Change can happen
and Change has begun
