Can we talk
And communicate,
Without a need
To get angry or hate,
Agree to differ
Respect others views,
We have differing opinions
Both me and you,
And there’s absolutely
Nothing wrong with that,
But we can exchange knowledge
When we chat,
And share different beliefs
Without any need,
To get unnecessarily nasty.
Left wing manifestos
Right wing shams
Either way you go
You’re always damned
Politics is not the answer
Because the system is fixed
The establishment oppresses us
With its clever destruction tricks
And while we are all arguing
About which side we are on
The system just keeps
Going on and on
Instilling doubt and fear into us
It’s been happening since birth
And too few of us kick up a fuss
Indoctrinated through school
To work in jobs like slaves
Taught this is the right way to behave
Step of line when you see it’s all a con
They will label you an anarchist
And beat you with their truncheons
If you try to rebel they’ll label you a freak
Look for any sign in you that they can exploit as weak
Then feed it to the media
Who lap it and feast on you
Whipping up pure hate and hysteria
So while you’re living like an automaton
They’ll live the good life and it’s champagne they’ll be sipping on
Now tell me that the system is not wrong
Seeing people sleeping in dooways
And public conveniences
Shows a lack of of equality
And that society needs fixing
So why not open yours and use your fuckin head
We need new answers to the problems
And politics as we know it is not one of them
So it may as well be dead
And if it isn’t right now
Watch this space because it soon will be.
Flickering light and damp walls
Mould growing up towards,
The ceiling where it spreads it’s spores for all,
To breathe in due to the atmospheric pall,
And in these conditions people live
There health is poor but they have to deal with it,
This is not humanitarian
This is not an acceptable way for any being,
To have to live there lives,
Not that society cares
For it is not a place that is equal or fair,
And any sense of kindness is rare
In this place where the is no bright lights and clean air.

The most dangerous among us
Are those who know the least,
Yet act and speak as if they know all,
They speak the loudest,
They speak the most,
They brag and they always boast,
There is nothing that they do not know,
These people are the ones that worry me most
Because they get the platforms and positions power.
I am a member of one race,
One humanity,
A global society and community,
I am not alone, I am not a one nation person,
I will not be divided from the rest of my family,
I am all embracing,
I am all encompassing,
I am one love, one kindness,
I am you and you are me
And together we can live free,
AS ONE!
Destruction of other species
We are the cause of so many animal extinctions,
So they should not be surprised when some of us fight back,
When we fight to protect animals that we say under threat,
I cannot just sit back and see what happens next,
I’ve seen to many baby seals being clubbed to death,
Seen to many fox hunts
See to many species being placed under threat,
Because of human expansion
To serve man’s greed,
To be served up on the table as an offering of meat,
Well if meat means murder then maybe we should think
If cosmetics and cigarettes lead to suffering,
Then maybe that’s beyond anything we should ask
There is a reason abattoirs are hidden in the dark,
Areas of our countryside out of sight and mind
Animal cruelty is wicked by design,
It’s time to start to make a change
Within our present lifestyles,
All kinds of vivisection is absolutely vile,
I taste the suffering within this and it taste so sick and full of bile,
And I won’t be forced to eat this anymore.
Mighty and superior
That’s what they think they are,
And we allow them to act out this role and go to far,
Taking away all our privacies,
And suppressing all our rights,
Spreading lies through the media
And diminish our light and sight,
And when we start to realise their abuse of power
And rise to fight back, they use force to make us cower,
They are meant to represent our views
Not there to be some kind of corrupt institute,
But that’s exactly what they are
Using corporations to destroy and tear our world apart,
In the name of greed they make us bleed
We must learn to wake up and see,
And put up some resistance and start to test the power
Put it under pressure and make the future ours,
We must be the ungovernable force
That fights for equality and fairness,
To fight for our environment, this battle maybe endless
But sooner or later we can change this hateful state,
In to one of love and kindness
And once more make mankind and our planet great.
