Common Sense

Common Sense

A Poem by Working Class Scarecrow
"

the revolution will not be televised.

"

This incompetence must lead to consequence
its common sense, calling all communists
the populace is still not convinced
this s**t is cosmic kid
the convicts are closer to the
truth than congressmen
and your kids need
supplemental vitamins
that's ridiculous
s**t makes me sick
so i'm bound to spit
tryin' to contradict
all that subconcious s**t
how about instead of trying to control
our world we learn to work with it?


we think matter matters most
but the fact is it's the spirit
turn this s**t up
i want my people in the
streets to hear it
time to remember what
they made us forget
i'm serious, aren't you curious,
or am i just delirious?
scaring fear to death
by raisin' fists like this

i'm a pacifist, through all
the bullshit that gets me pissed
it's twisted but i'm learning
to twist with it
connectin' dots like
kids on ritalin
been readin lots of book
absorbin information
tryin' to educate myself
and feel good again
i remember this one time
i went to space and
ceased to exist
but only for a little bit
and i was sober too
ain't THAT a trip?

yeah you can do it too
me and you? we're infinite
and you can quote me
on the internet
i meant what i said
and i said what i meant
you get it yet?
you hearin this?
ignorance is NOT bliss
who told you that s**t?
if you believe that
do the world a favor
and slit yr wrists
that s**t's a trick
convervatives open your eyes
it's just a little cannibis
it comes from the earth
and makes good medicine

are you payin' atention?
or are you too high from
the drugs you got with
your prescription?
while the medical industrial
complex is bankin
it's the number 3 cause
of DEATH in the nation
no fakin, no jokin
look that s**t up and try
to keep your heart from
being broken
and i'm STILL smokin'

"f****n hypocrit,
where's he get this hippie s**t?"
i'm readin it
i'm bleedin it
had my mind opened
as i watched a loved one slip
come to find
vitamin C can replace
chemo therapy
but no insurance company
will cover it
so i'm speakin out
and i'm sheddin light
not sure how some
mother fuckers sleep at night
but "don't worry about a thing,
cause every little thing
is gonna be alright"
i'm told we're approaching
some kind of shift
in our global concsiousness
sometimes it gets tough
but we just have to persist
be aware and present
NOW. HERE. THIS.
Turn off the TV and
talk to your kids.

bless.
