NWA said it best
04/27/2010I realize some people may be offended by the the lyrics I’ve posted … *should shrug*
F*** tha police
Comin straight from the underground
Young n**ga got it bad cuz I’m brown
And not the other color so police think
They have the authority to kill a minority
F*** that s**t, cuz I ain’t tha one
For a punk muthaf***a with a badge and a gun
To be beatin on, and throwin in jail
We could go toe to toe in the middle of a cell
NWA, F**** the Police
I’ve never thought of myself as a political or social revolutionary. I’m more of a spiritual maverick. However, I am far from apathetic about issues that plague the human race.
The territorial nature of people baffles me, especially Americans. None of us are native to this land. When most of us Americans came to the USA, we were subjected to the same discrimination and hatred that Mexicans, particularly in Arizona, are now. Heck, some of us still are after being here for 100′s of years. I guess I don’t fully understand why certain American’s are against immigration and immigrant rights.
Maybe its a guilt and fear issue. Maybe they think that Mexicans are going to come to America and wipe out all of the White people just like the Europeans did the Native American tribes. Or, maybe they’ll take all the jobs, whatever is left, just like it was feared that the Irish and Italians would when they came. Now, the police have carte blanche to “protect” us passport toting American’s from those dangerous, freedom seeking Mexicans.
On a different, but strongly related note, a couple of lawmakers in Illinois have proposed that that the National Guard be brought to Chicago to help curb the recent surge in gun violence. Somebody hold my tea! EXCUUUUSE ME! [insert neck roll] I’d just like to say that the last time the National Guard came to Chicago, they were invited to join the protesters at the Democratic National Convention in 1968. That was a wild year. Is that what we are in store for?
I personally have a healthy level of skepticism concerning the police, the military and the government. Each only has as much power as is given to them by the people. The scary part is that people seem quite eager to give their power away to anyone they deem to have the gumption to act on their behalf. Mostly because many of us don’t deem ourselves capable.
Well, you know what I say to that? “F*** the Police”!
Who’s got the power
Is it “us” or “them”?
We feed it, it grows
And then we condemn
We give them what they want
They give us what what we need
But, don’t point any fingers, we’re all guilty of greed
We drive bigger cars
To pretentiously strut
With bigger diamonds
Bigger clothes
For our bigger butts
Insatiable, no satisfaction
Nothing is enough to move us to action
Whitney’s problems are too much of a distraction
Let’s be an Action Oriented Society
Dissidents for change to impart
Action Oriented Society
Passive aggressive protesters take no part
Plastic bags pollute the streets
But we don’t pick them up
We overgrow and over-fish
Still, its not enough
They gouge the prices, but we still buy
Then complain while we stand in line
I guess there’s nothing we can do
Our hands are tied
So let’s stick it to “The Man”
He is to blame
Forget the log that fogs our view
Innocence proclaim
Overlook ourselves and deride
Those we think aren’t on our side
But, we’re pardoned, so, we will just let our part slide
Let’s be an Action Oriented Society
Dissidents for change to impart
Action Oriented Society
Passive aggressive protesters take no part

For any of you who have an interest in astrology, the astrological configurations of this decade strongly mirror those that occurred during the 1930′s and 1960′s. (See above mention of me being a spiritual maverick.) Both decades were fantastic turning points in the world and America: war, dynamic social and cultural shifts, jarring economic upheaval and resolute scientific advancement. Watch what happens!
