Everything always get so serious. Thought this could be a fun experiment to discuss a serious issue in a non-serious way.
Nazis are back and the climate is spent.
I’d love to step up, but I gotta pay rent.
To me the right has become mostly a meme
Blocking political process is now the main theme
The SCOTUS taking bribes left and right
Gerrymandering going on day and night
Most democrats have the appeal of The Simpsons’ Flanders
He’s getting pretty old but I like Bernie Sanders
Upvoted for Bernie Sanders
The rich get richer / The poor get poorer / When our time comes / No guilt for the horror
or maybe
The planet is burning / We die of starvation / Abolish the wealthy / And claim our salvation
or maybe
One, two, buckle my shoe / Three, four, overthrow the 1% and bring about a socialist utopia, etc
All I see is a major shitshow
I can’t keep up with all the garbage they throw
None of our problems ever get fixed
Because we can’t even agree they exist!
The future’s in the hands of those who won’t live to see it
The house is burning down but they won’t believe it
Everything’s fucked, it’s all just a mess
I suppose I’ll just vote for who hates minorities less
Everything is fucked and burning,
Yet the wheels of greed keep turning,
Big wigs buy their thirteenth yacht,
While 'twixt twelve we share a hut,
This just leaves me with one thing:
“Chop, chop” goes the guillotine.Healthcare is a universal right Let’s start with that then move on to the next fight
The picture is crooked by just enough
That you’d need a level to tell.
Every adjustment skews it a little bit more
This is starting to feel just like hell.
If it’s low on the left, now it’s high on the right,
Or it could be the other way around.
If we can’t seem to find a way to agree,
Maybe the piece should just come down.
But we like it’s aesthetic, that much is a fact,
Though we can’t really explain why.
One thing is for certain, we want it displayed,
We just both feel it has fallen awry.
So I’ll push, and you’ll pull, and we’ll stand back and sneer
At the other’s well-meant intentions
As it goes from one extreme to the next
While neither of us pays much attention,
To the fact that the picture itself is what really matters,
Not how it sits on a line.
The whole Earth is slanted on its own axis,
And even beauty is crooked sometimes.Like tectonic plates, growing apart
With Xitter and Facebook neatly doing their part
The legislature doesn’t really care about me
They get there money and healthcare for free
Meanwhile, we suffer from this polarization
Not just the US, but almost every nation
War, corruption and global warming give me a hopeless feeling
Almost on a daily basis, reading news leaves me reeling
Am I just a pessimist or will we really fail?
Are we watching the apocalypse in slow motion while wagging our tail
I originally wrote this for [email protected] but it works pretty good for me too:
NATO Astronaut 1: It never gets old, huh?
NATO Astronaut 2: Nope.
Astronaut 1: It kinda makes you want to…
Astronaut 2: Break into a song?
Astronaut 1: Yep.
I love the trenches,
I love the roadside mines,
I love blown bridges,
I love when turrets fly.
I love the whole world
And all its sights and sounds.
Boom-de-yah-da, boom-de-yah-da (twice)
I love my plane-fus,
I love nuke submarines,
I love logistics,
I love democracy!
I love the whole world
And all its craziness
Boom-de-yah-da, boom-de-yah-da (twice)
I love dictators
(I like to watch em hang)
I love Three Gorges
I love when things go bang!
I love the whole world
It’s such a brilliant place
Boom-de-ah-da, boom-de-ah-da (repeating until fade)
People dislike the present
Yet always vote Blue or Red
I only vote independent
And people still blame me for who led
Anarchism is the way, workers only you should pay.
The rich and wealthy we should eat, nutrition shouldn’t be sourced from meat.
Slavery is real, racism is too
But look outside America, you’ll see it times 2
The simple narrative taught in every history class Is demonstrably false and pedagogically classist Don’t you know the world is built with blood? And genocide and exploitation The global network of capital essentially functions To separate the worker from the means of production And the FBI killed Martin Luther King Private property’s inherently theft And neoliberal fascists are destroying the left And every politician, every cop on the street Protects the interests of the pedophilic corporate elite
(Bo Burnham - How the World Works)
Hypocrisy is rampant, my last nerves are plucked.
Both parties with grifters. Our system is fucked.
Mentalities of greed: I got mine, fuck you.
Just toxic words, the politicians spew.
No true efforts in fixing our country,
Their only interests are control and money.
Our country is in deep need of healing,
Putting out the emotional flames we are feeling.
Hoping the people can come together,
To make our future brighter and better.
If you wish create a good society, It cannot be run by the bourgeoisie. Nor can be trusted a Stalin or Mao Who call all their genocides justice somehow.
