left hand privilege, can ravage,
so just try and get with this
better to be sincere, and wear your hypocrisy
like a bandage.
like a bandage.
still, how do so many of us
manage?
we drive to anti-war rallies screaming “No Blood for Oil”
buy organic food but toss trash onto our soil
secretly shop at Wal-Mart where wrinkled wrecks toil
claim to be anti-imperialist but still worship the royal
it could make right wing bloodsuckers blood boil
if we could be as perfect as they are flawed
kinda odd, this complete abandonment by God
still there lurks a spiritual essence
felt, seen, and heard like G Flash and “The Message”
we drown our hopeless haplessness in alcoholic beverage
instead of looking harder for cracks in the shitstem
where we can gather some leverage.

we try to stay green, and compost old spinach
ponder local beer, but still prefer guinness
demonstrate against war, with a gun at home loaded
lament explosions in Boston, as foreign drone bombs exploded
it could make right wing bloodsuckers admit, if goaded
that we are as flawed as they claim to be perfect
kinda weird, the way that morals can short-circuit
and the absence of unity in our liberal ranks
is felt, seen, and heard like tianamen tanks
we have the privilege to argue, and never say thanks
instead of coming together, with more noble intention
to fight the true enemy and put
His plan on suspension.
