alien within
“In order to conceive of a problem on a social and/or political level we all need to have access to the same language; in other words, we need to achieve linguistic parity just to have the potential to take actions in concert.”
-Walter Mosley (Twelve Steps Toward Political Revelation)
managers hide in the hedges fund scraps
crawling on pork bellies pollute bond smokestacks
stocks inflate unions deflate all workers with broke backs
lap-dog cops slap options rich thieves feed us more crap
investors speculators segregate integrate switch and bait
good-bye low sell high buy your soul to the sky despise and hate
in arrogance and belligerence claim earth and the best of everything
magnetic romancing see those exotic derivatives dancing
toxic world buried polluted by immorality greed what’s to defend
i am a threat to them i am their alien within
jesus-killaz tomb raiders space invaders tax evaders
who determined the image of dreadlocked predators?
assault burglary shootings robbery theft inhumanity
shameless liars of distant fires the result of the heathen destiny
innerstarship always far above this powers never to explain
i am a threat to them cannot comprehend the shield against their pain
black and white fascists
can care less
ignore your misery
spin their lies and revise history
i guarantee
leave nothing to chance
and take a stance
dem will pee they pants
stand still Earth
i am their alien within
karma haunted crybaby
brutal scared shit heathen
this is The Day
i am their alien within
they cannot change their ways
let them end
