Conspiracy Theory Poem #666
so far my first-of-the-year poem has had trouble materializing i've been holding out for something good to happen like an out break of peace i've been burning candles and saying incantations trying to visualize a world w/compassion but all i see is Bush's head superimposed on a skull an oath of death dribbling from his lips like a vial of poison bloodstains on his masons apron i even cut the umbilical cord to my TV tried to extricate myself from the matrix but my fingerprints are registered w/the state wanted for their healing touch in a land where healing is illegal outlawed by the AMA cause plants grow free not able to fit in bottles i'm boycotting the news it's mostly garbage not fit to print intended to create mass hysteria make you think you're delirious the smallpox vaccine is deadlier than HIV beware of micro chips in your cereal programing you to buy shit you do not need that could be hazardous to yr health tell yr children not to give up blood for oil the new world disorder is much more than a buzz word peace is possible teach your sons just say no to war the WTC was an inside job Bin Laden is a figment of the Bush imagination like democracy in florida or the notion that the civil war is over perhaps u haven't noticed but the oil barons are fightin and gun sales are good for the economy i don't know much about gangsta rap but the real gangstas do drive by's with tanks on Palestinian ghettos The seeds of Hitlers bastard babies don't fall far from the trees - so i guess i won't be hired as poet laureate as Def Jam turns a Def ear to the truth on my plate but I don't give a damn I don't write poems to win slams these poems are so much like prophecy sometimes i'm scared to write what i see but words tumble thru my pen like zen shining the light on this corruption and sin i be that warrior of light illuminating illuminati exposing forces of darkness i come to ruin the party i teach yr children to question authority like the morality of the moral majority in this big dysfunctional family
