This Is Capitalism
We live in a society in which peasants used to be paid in beer,
to keep them happy in their mundane lives,
To numb them from the reality of their poverty and enslavement.
Now we are paid in money,
and are expected to buy our own beer, wine, coffee, cake, toothpaste, perfume
(consumer goods for your satisfaction & distraction)
and this is capitalism.
The illusion of choice for the profit of the few.
Cars, houses, holidays you can spend your life paying for
(consumer lifestyle for satisfaction and distraction)
Advertisements advising on the meaning of our lives:
Do remind us how to fulfill our individuality through purchasing of mass produced goods, sold to the masses.
Do remind us.
Money is the new drug.
This is capitalism.
How you control our lives.
They dazzle your eyes and capitalize on your blindness.
Semantical tactics. Using language to define your reality. (This is a prison)
“Consumer goods. Consumerism. We are consumers.”
Money is the new drug.
This is capitalism.
This is a prison.
How you control our lives.
Semantical tactics. Using language to define your reality.
“Consumer goods. Consumerism. We are consumers.” (This is a prison)

Define your reality.
How you control our lives.
Money is the new drug.
This is capitalism.
Define your reality.

School Is A Grade Farm
School is a grade farm
The products are the grades
Children are the unpaid
Employees
(Wait, isn't that a slave)
School is a company
The government
The shareholder
Waiting for results
On the value of their shares
The teachers being managers
Must increase
productivity
under pressure
From the shareholders

Culture
Pound shops and takeaways,
salons for grooming of
dogs and their owners
sit side by side.
Rancid fat acrid
in back alley junk piles,
settees and Christmas trees
slowly decay.
Damp homes
in damp climate
for cotton mill workers
no longer needed.
The forest of chimneys
now superseded
by new build in miniature,
room sizes shrinking,
like chocolates and crisps,
the packets get smaller
while the prices go
through the roof.

What is freedom?
Insidious, drip, drip, drip,
manipulation,
until normality
is life in a cage
of words and looks.
Like a dog that stands there
docile,
the rope untied.
Some words do hurt,
do stick.
The most powerful,
parasitic,
worm into the mind,
unnoticed, unchallenged,
apparently innocuous,
sugar coated lies
on the nature of reality.
But a mind awakened
in the vast realms
of consciousness,
can no longer be seized,
for seeing true nature,
sees the rope,
untied.

Remember This
When your world is shifting sand,
your vision shipwrecked on the shore,
in the house of your dreams,
the floorboards decay,
and you see the abyss,
remember this:
The earth is below you
and she will hold you.
You stand on solid ground,
all else is illusion.
The earth is below you
and she will hold you.
Remember this.

Take Your Power Back
I want my power back
I take my power back
Take your power back
Nobody can really take it from you
It's there inside you
Step into your power
It's already there
Power over
Is oppression
Power from within
Is freedom
Power over is war
Power from within is Love
