OCCUPY

I look at the world and what do I see

The loss and the meaning of freedom and free

We sit in our homes and stare at our screens

And bathe in a prison of virtual dreams

We run from the truth and we cherish the lie

That someone should save us from the

diminishing pie

We shout and protest at the top of our lungs

To tear down the people who created our fun

The irony is great and the paradox is large

For we are the ones who are really in charge

The rich have your money because you spend it

And Congress makes sure that they can keep it

I stand by the side of progress and change

To live in a world without the deranged

They think it’s their right to take what you toil

And give it to those who spend it on spoil

To win this debate and triumph the fight

Divorce the Left and run from the Right!

They want you to run deep into their arms

And tell you they’ll keep you from all corporate

harm

They all buy their suits from the same vendor

And they all sell their souls to the highest

spender

Corporations have bought them except for a few

But you won’t see them on the nightly news

So how do we play if the game is rigged?

Do we feed from their trough like a bunch of

pigs?

We could leave the farm and find another

Or innovate, create, plant and discover!

The mouse trap is built but we can go higher

The world is our oyster to build and inspire

To make a great change, don’t raise a sign

Protest your mind to build and design!

When they come for your house and steal your

job

You still have your mind, that they can’t rob!

So close the screen and look in the mirror

OCCUPY YOU, can it get any clearer?!

The change that you seek is inside of yourself

That’s where you’ll find an abundance of wealth
