Rights

How about instead

Of fighting for arbitrary

“Rights”

People as a collective

Instilled and encouraged

Developed and shared

Humane decency

For all

As if it were for us

Because….. It is “Us”

So we can evolve

Into beings of light

Not stagnate as stooges

In a surreptitious system

As unwitting participants

Played as the perpetual

Proletariat pawns of power

…….. Oh yeah…………..

There’s no money in that

“Everyone in this country is always running around, yammering about their fucking rights. I have a right. You have no right. We have a right. They don’t a have right.

Folks, I hate to spoil your fun but there’s no such thing as rights, OK.

They’re imaginary. We made them up, like the Boogie Man, the Three Little Pigs, Pinocchio, Mother Goose, shit like that.

Rights are an idea. They’re just imaginary. They’re a cute idea. Cute, but that’s all. Cute and fictional.”

That’s all we’ve ever had in this country is a bill of temporary privileges. And if you read the news even badly, you know that every year, the list gets shorter and shorter and shorter.

You see how silly that is? Yeah. Sooner or later, the people in this country are going to realize the government does not give a fuck about them. The government doesn’t care about you or your children or your rights or your welfare or your safety.

It simply doesn’t give a fuck about you. It’s interested in its own power. That’s the only thing, keeping it and expanding it wherever possible.”
