    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

  • 8/12/2019 Poetic Polemic

    7/75

    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

    Crime on my mindEvery time I spot swine

    Leave 'em behind

    Traced in chalk lines

    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

    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

    By another offensive

    Take me alive

    To face a jury

    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

    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

    Out weak from

    A star-spangled

    Eagle's beakPress release

    Call us lunatic

    Your attempts

    To wrangle

    Meet defeat

    You're gettingTangled

    Under the heat

    Your intention

    Is to strangle

    Truth as it's

    Leaked

    All Squawk

    And squeak

    You're a

    Bird-brained

    Antique

    Not properly oiled

    Like the wheel

    Of history which

    Will leave

    Your plans foiled

    Your systemTrampled

    Beneath the soil

    You brought us

    THE BOURGEOIS FAMILY

    Slits with titsMere instruments

    The cog stirs

    Out infants spit

    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

  • 8/12/2019 Poetic Polemic

    66/75

    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

  • 8/12/2019 Poetic Polemic

    67/75

    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

  • 8/12/2019 Poetic Polemic

    Wrecked

    To be swept

    Exploiting no more

    IF YOU'RE A FRIEND OF SWINE

    YOU AIN'T A FRIEND OF MINE

    If you're a friend of swine

    You ain't a friend of mine

    Thinking's got me out of line

    Consciousness is my crime

    Sign of the times

    The time is ticking

    Improvised device

    Sometimes the

    Kind with wicking

    Now we align

    Go out kicking

    Meet 'em with grime

    Organized

    Doin' dirt 'cause we're dirt

    Sub-prole masses subvert

    They do their bidding

    Further forbidding

    Go beyond the words blurtMake 'em hurt in spurts

    Tear down every advert

    Send a new message

    We're outwitting

    Move in concert

    Exit wounds squirt

    As they hit blue shirts

    Coughing up blood

    They're spitting

    Dared to struggle

    Now we're winning

    GLOBAL GESTAPO

    Warlord pig boarAdores draft boards

    Outsourced blood reward

    When they reign it pours

    Tape record circuit board

    Surging through the phone cord

    Searching for his spinal cord

    Holy lord's the chopping board

    THE INTERNATIONALE

    Arise, ye starved of the earthArise, ye branded by a curse

    Splinter, shatter, shake

    This neocolonial,

    Monopolist yoke

    The blood which fills my

    Lungs has boiled over

    Revolt now thunders

    For Justice be thy name

    Servile, wage slaved

    Now stand

    Change henceforthThe old foundations

    Constructing anew

    Those who had nothing

    Will become everything

    Conscious Fighters, unite!Let this class struggle

    Be our final

    All oppressed and exploited

    People of the world

    Without boundary

    The Internationale will

    Be our new humanity

    No more diluted by the dogmatic

    No one will grant us deliverance

    Expropriate the expropriator

    The dirt-stained hands take back

    From the blood-stained hooves

    We want perpetual peace

    But the oppressor's only

    Willing dialogue is

    That of violence

    So be it

    We will speak their languagePeople's political power

    Stems Through firepower

    The masses hath arisen

    As does the red sun

    Fire up the furnaceLet us fan the forges ourselves

    Striking the iron while it's hot
