Listen to us, Sacramento Tonight I was lost What can I do? I feel your system's poison in my veins tonight Wanna burn up your old power strike Then I saw an old captian of anarchy rescue me... Anger towards the innocent, but it's more than an issue I have the right to choose Don't look at me because I'm angry at the world I believe in what I believe And I won't die for you Behind a sunset from the west, in the state I live in A man in uniform pushes me up against everything Every word I say, used against me Is this freedom? Is this trust from the Senate? Or do I have to break your old laws too? Anger towards me, but it's more than an issue. I have the right to choose Don't accuse me because I'm angry at the world I believe in what I believe And I won't die for you You're staring the flag down, you're justifying nothing I am cuffed still but have no reason why To break free from your red, white, and brainwashed mind To scream in the face of evil would be enough for me Unlike you men in ties, dressed in black and white I saw color emerge from my skin and it was the color of California blood I will not take this shit I will succeed to lose Union's going down this time And There's no exuse No cause for your abuse I will not take this hit against a null and void crime No acceptions for the bruises and metal bars I will not die for this government

Now here we have an interesting young poet with quite the growing body of great work. different, brave..willing to take chances, yet carrying a sweet and well educated grasp of the english language. an a real fine user name..one of poemrankers emerging young poeties of the future <New Life Drug> [like three crickets chirp, and some drunk chick farts in the back row] nevermind them kid horus says to new life..they're kinda slow. 8!
