FIRST THEY CAME FOR THE druggies who tried to make their fantasy - TopicsExpress



          

FIRST THEY CAME FOR THE druggies who tried to make their fantasy economy away from the bigger killers, but I did not speak out, because Im white with powder cocaine. Then they came for the immigrants, flooded by Clintons subsidized corn and dragged screaming by ICE from their homes, and I did not speak out, because Im sitting here waiting for my Mexican cook to bring me my pasta special. Then they came for the poverty-dizzied young from zip codes like Bed-Stuy and the Bronx, fed into the for-profit prison pipeline, and I did not speak out, because where do you start? Its a national operation run by Wall Street. Then one day the Earth came for me, the ocean turned to acid sweeping through the streets, and I cannot protect my family, because America is declared a permanent emergency, and the cops and soldiers are the same guy, jailing us in our upstairs apartment, and no-one is left to speak for me because permits to speak in public are rationed by Chase Bank. ~ Reverend Billy And The Stop Shopping Gospel Choir
