Street Preacher
Uploaded by GrapplingIgnorance on Apr 6, 2012
Preacher, street preacher, there you stand
advertising torture for eternity.
Leather bound bible in your hand
desperate to blind the ones who see.
Fearlessly you shower words on the apathetic crowd.
This one-way form of communication makes you feel alive.
And when engaged by dissent you're doubly proud
Of the broken old rhetoric you contrive.
Preacher, street preacher, there you stand
Hiding in plain sight
Saturated by language you don't understand
prying at emotions with all your might.
Whenever your feet are held to the fire
To justify your holy book,
You claim those interpretations conspire
To give your god a grotesque look.
Preacher, street preacher, there you stand
Refusing to awaken.
Grasping at straws with a slippery hand
Tossing practiced lies to those who've forsaken.
Forsaken a god who was never there
A god who never spoke,
An all-present god who exists no-where
Street Preacher, you're a joke.
Preacher, street preacher there you stand
You know it's the end of your procession.
You're the modern world's trembling strand
of an obtuse obsolete profession.
Fight the change, but the truth prevails
You operate on the time you borrow.
Your book of vitriolic tales
Worshipped today, but dust tomorrow.

United States' penal system is being privatized. You have a lot of useless laws, and the rich profit from putting you in jail. As I see it, the prison populations are gonna get increasingly bigger.
The only industrialized, developed country in the world, with a privatized "public" health system. "Good health insurance is reserved for republican congressmen and the rich".
Wake up people. Your Legal system was made for vengeance not for rehabilitation. Your health system is made up for profit, not to improve public's health. CHANGE THAT!

"For the Youth" - ROSEANNE BARR FOR PRESIDENT
you have GOT to be kidding! Her big announcement is about how wonderful she is??? And she's clumsy at it? Hell, at least Obama was slick! And pretended to be humble! It's a narcissist festival this year! Fuck it! I'm voting for Shirley Chisolm again. Who cares if she's dead? At least she was articulate, informed, integrated and socially conscious! This is EMBARRASSING!a few seconds ago ·

He's right about the destruction of the destruction of the Constitution, but it's CORPORATE socialism. "We, the people" are just commodities and consumers now. I got suckered in to voting for Obama. Big mistake. ti was just "Democratic" party BRANDING. When he had that Queer-bashing preacher pray at his inauguration, I knew I'd been had. I'm voting Green this year -- and NOT for Roseanne Barr, either. So ironic that, under an African American President, standing on the shoulders of giants like Parks, King, X, et al, we have lost more civil rights in 4 years than we gained in the last fifty. A pox on BOTH your houses!
