Take Up Your Knife

Of the people.....
For the people
By the people
To the people more
the reality
It's all being done to
us if you ask
me

Elected
officials
Rejected
judicial
House.... Senate
White House
Rebuild the perfect
trap for the
elusive, manic
mouse

A perfect sham
The ultimate
scam
Dēmokratía
Aristokratia
Separate, but equal
Really? You obviously
missed the sequel
The one where the have
nothings
Continue to fight for every
little thing
To make their life
worth the
struggle
Of living day to
day
in the middle of
the
maddening
muddle

We got to get it
together, my bothers
and sisters
We must take care of
our brethren
broken and battered by
life's twisters
A tornado real or of
epic energetic
disarray
We simply can not
continue
on this way

Pull my ass out of the
ditch
And I will do the same for
you, bitch
No separation changes the
reality
We are together in
this thing
we
all
call
life

Cure the cancer... 
free it
with the edge of
that
concealed
knife
We've been using to
cut us all 
apart
When what we need to
do
is cut away the
cancer
infiltrating
our
hardened hearts

Of the people.....
For the people
By the people
WITH the people... my
awaited reality
Take up your knife
and cut
away the cancer
with
me
