[bodytext] => Scared sitting in back rooms counting your hard earned pay Majority spreading fear economy lost stocks on the fall Banks foreclosing while we still have to pay our debts The parties over for us and we never even corked the first top Always an escape for the elite while we common dogs get thrown some scraps This never ending battle of anger and suppression This time of shadows and fright Bankruptcy and shame They sit there on the news telling us about how things should be A perfect harmony of science and religion politics and rights All told by some other fish in the stream of things Who can control the uncontrollable? Now they put us to war against ourselves in the name of the president There is no more talk of change its all a race issue from here The stakes have gotten to high and I am afraid of the fall We squabble like hens all throwing the blame or fabricating lies Truth a fabled word heard only in locked doors As this mockery goes on who is not the little fish and who is just the bait It is not the first time both parties followed some same goal Some selfish scheme But who really can tell the future and if you could would they believe and listen Or get a chance to Would you want to sit back and let things unfold or try to wake from this slumber We have only little time to decide Gone past most ordinary days and time has gone all confused The limelight is stale we have seen to many same snowflakes What more can come as we lag behind As we throw everything away As we come undone [comments] => 1 [counter] => 151 [topic] => 43 [informant] => lostrelic [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 6 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => oops )
