Justice Like Injustice
Are words made up
By previous generations
Like prosecute and persecute
Which are used a lot
Certainly more than
Caring and sharing
Guiding and teaching
The former get used more
Cause society has
Convinced itself through
Biblical machinations
That life will be better
With some rules
So it has opted
To conjure up a cliche
The end all be all
Of human summation
Which is
“The rule of law”
.
First by religion
(Thou shall not kill)
Then by government
(Thou shall not kill)
(Unless we say it is okay)
Now by corporations
(Thou shall kill)
(If it props up the bottom line)
(Disguised using the former rule makers)
.
As the first two are
Meekly and boldly
On the take
For the scraps
It discards
.
.
Neither the plant world
Nor the animal kingdom
Knows justice or injustice
Just instinct and survival
Humans for the large part
Being Pavlovian simpletons
React not to the bell
Rather the light emitting
Pulses of the wall rectangle
Surrounding talking heads
Programming far too many
Not only to react on command
More so what to react to
Impulsively on cue
With pseudo information
Having learned how what who
To react to and when to
Like Manchurian masses
Shown a queen of diamonds
.
“Free speech as
Free as its thought
Controlled behavior
Reacts as its taught
Fighting for Peace
Can’t comprehend
Hate out of love
Is violent pretends
//
Their violence works
it hardly ever fails
When blind man can’t see
He believes blind
Blind obedience is
The child of mindless minds
New world order
Is an old world lie
Fighting for peace,
See how they die
Dragging in God,
As they turn violent
God says nothing,
He just remains silent
Stop madmen from
Running loose
Mother earth woman
Can’t take the abuse
Living right now is
Living for tomorrow
Time is saying
There’s no more time tomorrow”
