A government is supposed to be a body of officials that governs a country.. That enforces rules that are fair ("supposedly" in our country at least).. A government for the people, by the people. Where? Where is this so-called government?
Crime? Is it really so hard to end? Stop allowing the import and export of drugs - maybe then we'll be able to rid society of those dangerous, life-threatening narcotics that threaten to destroy our youth. Oh wait.. Where will they make their extra income?
People who dare say "nay" to all of this, the corrupt officials that pollute our government, have to be absolutely insane. Take five random people off the street. Ask these five people what they'd do for money. Than give these people the power to rule an entire nation, or at least a sector of it, see how corrupt they become.
We are people! We are meant to sin. We are imperfect creations, and by no means are we meant to be perfect. People vote for officials, but people don't realize what is going to happen for their ignorance in believing a nice smile and a nice speech. Countless governors and presidents are elected, never fulfilling their promises - never fulfilling anything. It's almost makes you want to ask.. "Why were the elected in the first place?".. Oh but wait, questioning the government is unpatriotic.
The government is for the people, by the people.
Oh well, a lot of people don't understand that. This is a time, an era, where people should be free of such pitiful ideas as a communist or a dictator government. I mean, there are countries out there that still have communistic ideas. Why is it, that the people who inhabit the country, that make-up the country, are so G** damned unsatisfied with the government itself?
Take a poll, have a poll - it will be government monitored - and thus resulting in a poll that favors anything that's against them, the government. If there was ever a poll that actually took into account the thoughts and feelings of actual American citizens, well - I'm sure the results would be shocking to "some".
Welcome to the ghetto.
Where everyday is a struggle. Where walking to school becomes a walk into the concrete jungle. Where instead of a simple walk to a bus stop, it becomes a walk into a life-or-death situation. Families are unfed. People are homeless. Drugs are prevalent.
But wait..
Why the Hell do you care?
You live in a WASP community, that has none of these problems.. What you do know - is to avoid these areas.. You avoid them like they aren't a part of your country.. Oh, but yes they are.
They are the towns surrounding yours, they are the people who commute through your neighborhood, these "ignorant" Americans are the one's you encounter daily.
If you ask any of these people to trade lives with yours.. A well educated man/woman, who comes from a decent family background, who can actually afford a car and a house.. Don't you think they would? Don't you think they'd want to give up everything they have to have a clean start? What do you care? Driving around a Mercedes or a Lexus, listening to your Bon Jovi CD, what the Hell do you care for?
You don't.
A government for the wealthy people, by the wealthy people.
Imagine how the United States could be, if all the people actually had an equal opportunity to become successful, to become something. It's unequal. It will always be. There will always be racism in this country of "liberated" people. There will always be hate. There will always be violence and crime because of this exact reason too.
No one take's the time to understand and try to love each other. I remember, I mentioned in my first blog post to "Talk to a random stranger a day", because this would just enlighten you about the world.
No one will ever see this. No one will ever understand another one of God's creations pain. No, no one ever will. That's what disgusts me. People all around the world, who are so fortunate to be born into a world full of prosperous opportunities, those people will never understand that the people who are less fortunate only have opportunities that are prosperous yet very illegal.
Trapped in the system. Trapped in the struggle.
Our country can never advance forward the way we want, not until we aid the weakest chain in our link. The most unfortunate chain in our link.
Our founding Father's even realized how corrupt and greedy our government can become. Anything said against the government though, is held as communistic or even malicious, haha. I wonder what ever happened to freedom of speech. I wonder why the New York Times, or other big newspaper publishers never puts on the first page, how our corrupt government traps another innocent person into the struggle. Yet instead they put "Young male maliciously murders another male in a gang shoot-out".. But do we ever question why they had to be in that situation in the first place..
Bob: Well Son, don't ya see? He chose to be in that lifestyle! He's offered the same education and opportunities that you are! He chose to be a criminal and life a violent life style. It's not like he couldn't have done something else to make ends-meat for his family!
Son: Well Dad.. I mean.. Think about the area he's from...
Bob: It has nothing to do with the area he's from! He's just a criminal. That's all you need to know.
Racism.
If only, instead of sucking the d***s of people that don't require the sucking (they can afford legit prostitutes anyway), maybe the government can actually help the youth that needs it.
I mean - how scary would that be though..?
An entire nation of young children completely "edumacated", an entire nation of young children ready to blossom into the brightest adults of the next generation.
If only our nation's IQ matched our "nuclear" might.
If only.
F*** the government.
Props to the author of this poem:
Fuck the fuckin' government
an its ever grippin' finger tips
squeezin' on its citizens
with its misleadin' lyin' lips
with all its propaganda
and its out-right lies
explainin' away the truth
while the death tolls on the rise
suckin' on the people
with its taxes and laws
I wouldn't shed a tear
if this government falls
we're being controlled and ruled
by these power hungry thieves
spewing forth these lies
that the people shouldn't believe
it's supposed to be up to us
it's our fuckin' country
I hope I never meet Bush
he wouldn't wanna confront me
I treat the government
like a jury treats a trial
and I ain't being' duped
by a handshake and a smile
I know whats goin' on
the facts are all right there
but theres alot of ignorant people
that just don't fuckin care
the truth should be told
but I know it never Will
we'll just drop some more bombs
and score another kill
we've become the enemy
I hate the place in which I live
and theres no way ever
that I could forgive
all the frivolous laws
that are completely unjust
and the way that the government
blatantly abuses our trust
we the misguided
thats what we should say
cuz theres some underhanded shit
goin' down every day
most of us barely make it
on the bills and the rent
and I can't even tally
all the money thats been spent
but we can cast our vote
its this billionaire or that
and any way it goes
their pockets gettin' fat
we're on the bottom
of the fiscal food chain
can't even afford medicine
when we're livin' in pain
the poor ruled by the rich
thats the government today
and then you got the fools
believin' everything they say'
but theres alot of scandalous shit
that just hasn't been brought to light
thats why I'm here
fightin' this fight
one vote every four years
just isn't enough
its our country and
we gotta get tough
how many people are unhappy
with the conditions today
and live check to check
makin' minimum pay
while the filthy rich
decide whats best for me and you
its supposed to be our country
what the fuck can we do
we gotta stand up
and let our voices be hear
and let the government know
that we think it absurd
that they call all the shots
and they siphon of our pay
its supposed to be for the people
thats what I say
I say fuck the current policies
and fuck the current president
and I say fuck all the wasted money
thats long gone and spent
I say fuck the war on drugs
and I say fuck the war on terror
the government fucked up
and made a terrible error
a war against a noun
is a war that can't be won
we try to rule the world
by the power of the gun
and I say its not right
we perpetrated our own fate
and now we subject ourselves
to the worlds biased hate
our president is ignorant
the root word is ignore
and we've sold out America
like shes a fuckin' whore
with decisions influenced by money
and money coming from wealth
not even thinking for a second
about happiness and health
we are a nation
of rhetoric and apathy
but don't think for a second
that that shit works on me
I think our system is corrupt
its been hijacked by the mighty
and those motherfuckers are lucky
that they don't have to fight me
so many people
just give in to what their told
and thats the way they live
until they're sick and old
and they can't afford their medication
and social security's runnin' dry
what a fuct up nation
built on the premise of a lie
talkin' about freedom and happiness
and liberty for me and you
but thats not the way it is
but what more can we do
cast our single vote
once every half a decade
and sit back and struggle
while the politicians got it made
but I won't stand for that
i want more out of life
and if the government was a person
I 'd stab it with a knife
AND IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT
YOU CAN
