rage against the latrine
Doin' time without rhyme or reason
Surely is a mad season
Feeling lost at what cost (a holo-one)
If I sound caustic it's cuz we lost it
Fist in the air in the land of the free
Between you and me reigns a cut and dried society
Much worse off than simple hypocrisy
We got outright lies and shameless blasphemy
A fucked up system where the rich can kill for free
And the homeless and poor gotta pay to behave
When an ex-superstar macho prick can slice up his wife
And become an underground cult hero for it nearly overnight
Aw yeah, land of the free
Free to be fucked by the likes of he
Who can pull the strings using dollar bills
And flashing rings with that professional smile
All the while hiding the real nature of the beast
He's a killer at least
Trained to remain calm at the embalming
That's why he was a character actor
If you can't see he attacked her I'm afraid you're mistaken
And these are mistakes that I can't be makin'
So I'll cut myself off from this train of thought
Cuz I know where it's leading
And if you think OJ would make a great candidate
Well you're probably right, it's a great fuel, hate
But you won't find me voting
For a man found toting bloody baggage
From the scene of the crime that he committed
And I don't give a fuck that the glove hadn't fitted
What kind of cop's going to plant kid gloves anyhow
You think you can handle the case in a middle of a race war
You say that's not the issue well it ain't justice neitha
In a political hierarchy the individual has no significanse
So remember in November when you step up for the square dance
It's not who you're voting for that really counts
It's how they got you to be there once
Yes, that's all it takes to seal our fate
Conscientious cooperation
wide awake or quite sedate

Although I wrote this piece sixteen years ago, I believe it's underlying message is still relevant.
So I've pulled it from the vault, dusted it off, and presented it here, for your reading pleasure.
It is suitable for open mic performance.
