Remains of the Dazed

 

Is there something going on that I should know about?  Seems something has been taken from me, from all of us.  Have I the time to consider all that has transpired?  (Ah, yes my erudite friend, yes indeedy…)

There’s something wrong and there has been for some time and we all know it’s true now don’t we?  We were happy once; we were surely children once, playing with toys.  Where did all that go my friends?

I left the house today and meant to come back.  I made it you should know.  I made it should you care.  And should someone ask then you can tell them that I am likely to do it again and again and they can’t stop me.  Not yet.

At least I don’t think so but things are changing so I wonder, I wonder.  Sometimes I’m even a bit scared y’know.  Ain’t you, just a bit such and so now and again?

This government has gotten way out of hand.  I don’t know if anyone can stop the unending growth, the seemingly limitless spread of the greatly unelected.  They had names for such hordes in Communist Russia.  Hell, they had names for such hordes in Tsarist Russia.  Here they just have a tag:   .gov

Who is responsible?  Who is in charge?  I’m scared y’all.  The folks are taking to the streets and they have no plan only anger and a need to release it.

Yeah, I’m scared when only black lives seem to matter.  Now they’ll tell you that it used to be only white lives mattered and they might be right in some cases, not every last one.  But when only white lives mattered weren’t black folk scared?  So why would it be any different for white folk nowadays?

Oh, I get it.  It shouldn’t be any different now- white folk SHOULD be scared.  In fact maybe it ain’t so much that black lives matter- because with all those blacks killing blacks I don’t see how they really do- it’s much more the belief that white lives, and maybe others as well, just don’t matter.  Ain’t it so bro?

Does any of this matter to any of you?  Maybe it should; or maybe, one day not far down the road too far, down that road, it will.  When should becomes will then all those hens have come on back to roost you know.  It was said and it was meant by far too many.

Why do folks who preach against injustice want to do away with justice?

Why do folks who preach about old hatreds just create new ones to replace them?

Why do folks who preach fairness want to be able to control what is and what is not?  Is that fair?

Who they think they’re fooling anyhow?

I was brought up to tolerate but not embrace unless the desire to embrace is mutually felt.  And, even then, even enemies hug before they kill.

And wasn’t that Jesus Christ dude betrayed by someone close with a kiss?  The kiss of death.

Y’all better wise up and realize we can all move forward together toward a better place and that we don’t need no damn shepherds to herd us there.

Y’all better smarten up and realize you’re being controlled today is just a prelude to being owned tomorrow.  Slaves used to be forced into it by force- now we just get there by sweets and we do it gladly because they’re taking away everything that might allow us to say “hey, wait just a damn minute.”

Ain’t no freedom to vote if your vote is controlled.

Ain’t no family left to fight it.

Ain’t no churches left to preach against it.

Ain’t no place to run and sure as hell ain’t no place to hide.

Baa baaa baaaa…Vote for me and I’ll set you free.

Rap on brother, rap on.
