THE DIALECTIC
Matter in motionFluid as the ocean
Not a magic potion
Proletarian devotion
To the science
For those who don't buy in
To the rigid orthodox
Even rocks
Harbor change
As does the brain
A reflection of
The objective
InevitableDevelopmental
Conflict
Microscopic bits
Throwing fits
Helmsmen at the ship
SynthesizingDemising
What came before it
So believe it or ignore it

The past
Was just a mast
To cast
To the lastEconomic stage
Which began with the slave
Followed by the knave
Thence the wage
Ultimately we'll socialistically
Break from the cage
The point is to explore
Face the storm
Leave the cafe,
Armchair, and dorm
From quantitative
To qualitative
Revolution not reform

AMERI CONG PART II
As life veersCarry no fear
No more years
No more tears
No longer a gear
No longer to hear
The jeers of peers
Exclaiming you queer
Perhaps they'll
Hold you more dear
Posthumously
As teaches history
The last words you speak
"Mount no cross for me"
Hope they call it blasphemy
You'll be in loving memory
Once you hit the cemetery
Or unmarked entirely by the enemy
That's where you go
Dead and you're gone
Never to carry on
So how can you do wrong
-

Creating your own destiny?
Lived and died terrestrially
Perhaps they'll sing a songAbout you living long
In their
Hearts or
How you're
A martyr
The rest will
Call you a
Slaughterer

JUSTIFICATIONS FOR WAR
Justifications for war:
It's part of our core
Because we're just bored
TV whores
Entertained by
The poor battle torn
Censored gore
The roar
Fender to Fender
Legal Tender
September
We will rememberIsolationist temper
Proverbial
Bad guys dismembered
Civil liberties surrendered
So shut up you slut
Get out of your rutBy earning a buck
Sign up
Like getting some nut
Forcefully fucked smut

COMMODIFICATION INDUSTRY
Debt, sweatBets, counterfeits
It's time we counter it
All money is funny
Only as real as plucking
An alchemist's bunny
From the fat cat
Banker's hat
And we're not laughing
While you're not asking
Make a withdrawal
Withdrawal the masking
You'll see they're tasking
Global capital gains
Basking in the
Multinational
Wage slave's pain
Relying on the mathTo simply boggle the brain
Inflation is
The true

Calculation
Prices soar
Goods and services
Costing more and more
At the core
No gold
Just bought
And sold drudgery
For a parasitic company
False wants
False needs
False dreams
You're susceptible to the
Commodification industry

AGITPROP 'ROUND THE CLOCK
Agitprop 'round the clockWill hasten the drop
To the lock
Then we rock
The rocket
Though it may land us
On the docket
Some may even mock it
They talk but can't walk it
The counterrevolutionary
Mind set
They tend to forget
The lives or lack thereof
We're living
More concerned about
The market
Bet after bet
Cashing in onThird World debt

Funding proxy-puppet-lackeys
As their pet
Thusly they'll be met
By another offensive
Such as the Tet
Desperately seeking to escape
On the private jet
Only concerned about

The land of the first

The starved of the earth

Lost its sheen
Wasn't cheap
Put to sleep

Less than pristine
Swim with sardines
Trash it, compact it

PIG ROAST
Indignant furyYou'll never
Take me alive
To face a jury
Not of one's peers
Because the criminal
Class are not there
No such thing
As a trial that's fair
So hunt me to my lair
Stick me in your
Cross hairs
But you'll neverHave me trapped
Strapped
To an electric
Or interrogation chair
I won't swear
Under oathBecause I
Don't believe
In Prayer
Or Prison

Alienation
Presented as salvation
Super-exploitation
Packaged as liberation
Fear mongering,
Recruitment,
And general misinformation
Through the broadcast station
This the imperialist situation
Then the unjust
Inexplicably
Taken surprise
By the fermentation
Of just retaliationAs the conscious cry
"We think we can take them!"
Now the elevation
Of the population

Agitation,
And expropriation

Sirens respondFucking up your lawn

TROUBLE BREWS
What to do?Where to begin?
Let trouble brew
Birth imperialism's end
We'll carry it through
Into an indignant slew
Strike, retreat, defend
Strike again
Make piggy stew
Negate anew
Unscrew, unglue, undo
Free the slaves of wage
A new banner waves
In crimson hue
With an internationalist
World view
In lieu
Of rue
Once blue faces

Gathering clues
Look out for traces
Of bourgeois infiltration
Harbor no hesitation
In attacking their bases
They shatter like vases
We'll catch new cases
Tie together their laces
Watch them fall
We make the call
Away will go
Our chain and ball
Regardless of
Gender or races

Only photographic tactics
Staring down from perches

But first we take these

Sweep out these informants

The onlyWay I'll kneel
Is if I keel
Tackled and shackled
Though we're not
Making plea dealsScrap, Crackle, and Pop
End you with my steel
Head shots
Get your head lost
But first I'll make you squeal
Record it on an
Inspirational tape reel
Disseminate it to all the real
Presented in the raw
Make all the law cry to Ma'

Masters, bourgeois
That's who they protect

Groping at her rack
Grabbing at his sack
Molestation
In defense of the nation?
Sanity no longer intact
Thoughts like should you scrap?
Exercise the lats
Could it come down to the need to blat?
Sounds like ratta-tatTattletales all over the map
Seek out the rats
Use reactionaries
As my doormat
Use chains, grenades,and baseball bats
Go to their base
Kick 'em in the balls

Who have trudged for miles

No money to invest

It's clear fromWhat we can hear
If we filter out the fear
Propagated
Week after week
Year after year
Your angle
Is to mangle
The speech
Of the meek
But no coverage
On how you leech
Shove our teeth
For you'd rather
We not speak
Unless it comes

FRESH OFF THE BOAT
Fresh off the boatFlesh pinched
The workers
Began to choke
Their throats tight
Closed in a yoke
No option but to
Chase bank notes
Here to feed their
Families back home
Toiling under the
Boiling sun but still broke
All they had to their names
Is what they could tote
Suddenly they awoke
They worked
The hardestManipulated
And harnessed
But the boss would
Never promote

He kept his
Money guarded
Their peers deemedA few the smartest
No break at work
So they read
When they got home
They soon became
MarxistsAnd felt less alone
They knew this hour
Was their darkest
Though not hopeless
Staying focused
The sun would rise
Anyone could see
That with their
Own two eyes
They saw through the lies
They were workersThe proletariat
They knew they had ties
Linked they could think
They shared their books

Others absorbed the ink
The next day the boss
Referred to the workersAs chinks so they were
Now on the brink
How could they bow
Instead they vowed
This would neverBe allowed
So they threw down
Their tools and
No longer plowed
No longer the boss' whore
They all at once walked
Out the door
Marching back to the shore
They made it back home
But this wasn't the last
They knew this was war
Someday a blast will roar
Class will be worn
And crumble
To the floor

That of violence
So be it
