(While some of you may be angry, saddened, or disappointed at the election of Donald Trump, this is to let you know there are far bigger problems. He is just puppet in the grand scheme. I’m not pro-Trump or anti-Trump, but I am pro-truth.)
Having a second thoughts
about being American
Not talking about birthplace
or the black race
but what really
makes up this place
that we call home
where democracy reigns
what does it mean
to be free
when are lied to everyday
and we cannot see
that the “truth” poured upon us
is nothing but a lie
in every way
they say 9/11 was a tragedy
an attack on American values
I guess the white house
thought oil was more important
than all those lives that were lost
let me tell you
that the “war on terror”
doesn’t exist
it’s just a power trip
to keep you bewitched
keeping you thinking that Muslims
need a crucifix
these “extremists”
are cookie-cutter cutouts
of the USA’s sellout
to keep your heads down
as the real world goes around
There’s no “war”
there’s no Al Queda
and Russia’s no more of a threat to us
than baby girls were to China
Putin’s pissed
and Trump’s rich
while Clinton acts like
she knows what being black is
I know a lot of you
are surprised at what I’ve said
but I only write
so the truth can be led to you
and I wish I knew
more than what I do
but thank CNN
NBC
and Facebook
stealing our lives
our children
now who’s the real crook?
When they slay their own
to enrich their own
put your hand
over your heart
land of the un-free
home of the slave
for your life is worth barrels
the price has been paid
I just want
to share information
it’s up to you
to demand reformation

You’ve got a good head on your young shoulders. These people are just stooges in a pantomime put on for our benefit. From our perspective, it’s impossible to understand how the world really works, but it’s easy to work out it’s not what they’re selling us.
Lovely writing that.

I agree. America started out as a beautiful idea. Unfortunately in the hands of human beings, it doesn’t take long for a beautiful idea to become corrupted. And they’ll say it’s about this and that, but it never is. It’s about keeping the power in the hands of the few by any means necessary. That’s the only real war that’s ever been going on. They don’t give a damn about race or gender or any of that really. They’re just low-hanging fruit for controlling people. And it seems to work incredibly effectively.
But to say what you’re saying at your age is a hell of a good start I think. I was still drinking the Kool-aid back then. I thought it was all set up for the common good. What a painful learning curve.
It can be lonely trying to get at the truth behind these things though. Pretty much no-one wants to hear about it. Not even family or friends. It threatens comfort and safety. Like that guy in The Matrix, ignorance is bliss.

Things seem bad right now, I know. But maybe it’s not as bad as the media wants you to believe. America is easily the most powerful nation in the world right now, and things are gonna stay that way for a long time.
Also, there are several reasons why Trump might actually be good for the country right now. I wrote a post about it recently. Do check it out.
