all american machine (Free verse) by nolan
looking through the window i notice a place i have never seen people i have never met things i want to see i cannot help but wonder where you stand and this rant will decide if you are with us or against us fuck you propaganda! go help the nazis ok! sorry! "the republicans" hitler or bush? can you tell the difference? one stared world war two while the other forced gulf war two economics was the factor in both and they both strive for success you hear about american pride but never about iraqi pain lets take over the oil and next the world! can we stand here and let this happen? it is sad as you drop the bombs the children hold on stay close to mom there was a tear shed by one of us you turned around and put a bullet in his back. when we express our opinion on free waves you jeer, right beside a mic we need a change i can't live without fear even manson understands the concept but then again he is the bad dude kill each other, then we will shoot you all in the name of a single nation under god Nra, Cia, Fbi, KKK they all seem the saME not allowing me to speak my mind give me liberty or give me death but what does that mean? you told me, once, twice and thrice but it never made sense if liberty is freedom; shouldn't I be six feet under? alone at peace? at once we shall speak! "destroy the machine! destroy the machine!" build a society based on equallity not economy. lets make enviornmental progress instead of economical failure. seem like a joke? than why are you laughing? oh yeah i forgot, why change? you have it all: the american dream so what, if i am canadian? i can see your failure this is not an attack on americans; this is an attack on their government i am no better than him or her but i can realize need a developing need for change can i live here? can i live there? why can't i live where i want? why can you tell me where to go? give me freedom! but not the american product, give me freedom! <let me choose> take it off that mask you are hiding behind, tell my why? tell my why your so corrupt? speak to me in words of truth and not "truth" or just tell me lies, make me feel safe, develop me into your product tell me how to live. tell me how to survive. show me happiness give me joy play with my thoughts play with my dreams give me fear, give me nightmares show me the future and .... < < < < let me become a working part >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>of your fucked up machine

"one stared world war two
while the other forced gulf war two"

This is what I love about poetry! The utter incompitence involved in making sense. Good job, Nolan. Now, back to my fruit rollup and crossword puzzle. hmmmm,4 down, starts with p, four letters. Another name for a Medevil times bard? Any Ideas? I know it's not plum or prom or poop so. what do you think?

where are the weapons of mass destruction that were a threat to our "wonderful" democratic lives?

What, four arabs with straight razors in a plane bound for buildings full of people wasn't massive enough for you? Stick around, you'll get your fucking weapons of mass destruction in one form or another, and then you'll be arguing some other lightless angle. Wake up, how many ways can you cook chicken? Well that's how many ways that we can get cooked by these rock a bye jehova witnesses minus the smiles and shower.

is there anyone in the woprld who doesn't think that pony-boy george is saving the big guns for november? for the elections? because from where i sit, he's not got a chance to make it back into the oval office. first, that nepotistic hand job that slid him into the big chair, second, despite what the media portray, most of us over here never wanted this fucking hostility to begin with. it's a disgrace the way he's big-ballsing his way across the planet.

Some one has been reading Howard Zinn or Listening to alot of NOFX. Nice Rant. I'm wondering though, Did you mean "give me nightmeres" or "give me nightmares"

Do you always chew your leg off when you're caught in a shoe box?

The last time I did that... It had one eye and a beard with a stinky incoherant mumble.
