RIGHT F$$KING NOW
IN A GALAXY RIGHT UNDER YOUR NOSE
(2K3)
----------------------------------------------

how many of our offspring
will be forced to sing
the same old song
will be fed to the greed machine
slowly, surely turning green
as they chug along
in fossile-fuel burning earthcraft
turned green by rot and corruption
green like a dollar bill gathering lint
in the pocket of a three-piece suit
purchased with absconded tax money
fear and envy knocked back into their toxic hearts
feeling funny, tasting like honey
mixing together nicely like their
poisonous compulsory post-workaday cocktails
as they watch the storm-troopers roll by like snails
and wait for ineffective public transit
to herd them home from their timeclocks?
how many drops of blood squeezed from rocks
will they swallow
before they refuse to wallow
in the job-sty?
how long will they suffer
how long will they cry
before they refuse to pay
some boss's salary with their labor
how long before they light up a saber
and decide not to say, "someday....
someday some hero
will show me what it means to be a jedi..."
don't think you are radical beacause of the ring in your nose,
your red eyes, your long hair, or your tattered modest clothes!
!START NOW!
what you do or do not do matters, not what you try
Force your oppressors to respect you without telling lies
don't abuse The Force & it'll protect you
erect you infinite column of light
and you will BE what is right
BE the secret weapon that wins the fight
without fighting
without even lighting up your saber!
some people think i'm mad as a hatter
or that i lie
when i say The Force is with them
but it's true
and so it is with you
YOU have the power
to break your bonds
and lead all your people on
to freedom!
just let The Force flow,
let your hatred go
and you will know
what the future holdes
what to do and what not to do.
MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU!

      THE FIGHTLESS FIGHT
      (7/04)


      We spend twenty four hours of our lives every day
      Under high tension wires absorbing magnetic rays
      My neighbor's left eyeball is turning gray
      From his knockoff celphone's motherfucking RADIATION

      It doesn't matter whether your pet is a pink dalmation
      A cat, a weasle, or a small crustacean
      In Kentucky, B.C., and all United Nations
      All the creatures' ears scream when the cops leave the station.

      Using strong toxins to remove strong toxins
      Like bleach or wavicide taking all the germs off
      Punching clocks or locked up in boxes
      Puffin makes you feel good but it might make you cough
      Hiding in holes or watched like by hawks
      Let Uncle Sam bully or knock his block off!

      You lazy little goat you only got three jobs
      How d'ya 'xpect to pay the rent, now mow your lawn, you slob!
      The corporations need your labor so they can pay for lobbies
      They can't afford to give you time to cultivate your hobbies!
      They say, "CONSUME CONSUME CONSUME
      With credit not cash
      Don't worry about the vast
      Rise in population
      Increased rate of inflation
      Bad, sad, sorry state of the nation
      Just sit back, relax, and be happily brainwashed
      by your favorite broadcasting station!"
      Or
      better yet
      smash your timeclock,
      your TV,
      your radio,
      Then rip off all the knobs.

      Lob globs of Love at the cops
      Stop the war inside of you or the wars will never stop.
      Don't assemble angrily in a militaristic manner
      To stop those who assemble angrily in a militaristic manner.
      Don't plan out your life in your daily planner
      How you'll eventually end the need for things like daily planners.
      Whether you're a lawyer or a canner
      Joy is more important than labor.
      If you climb to the top of Mt. Tabor
      On Beltane Eve or Diana's Day,
      Lay on your back and gaze at the sky...
      It won't pay your rent
      But it might make a dent
      in your soul-debt
      Then your soul will get high!

      Why not ask why?
      Why must one die?
      Mortality
      Might be
      A learned disability!
      Set yourself free.
      Feel your fullest glee.
      Trust your third eye to see
      Clearer than the two.
      Always say what's true.
      Always pay your dues.
      Do what you know is right for you to do
      And fly into the sky upon death.

      The breath
      That makes these sounds
      Is fire that through these veins pounds
      Out primitive beats.
      Meet us randomly in the street and UNITE
      In the fightless fight for JOY
