The Status Quo 09/08

Post by moses lee »

No...You can't say that
It's inappropriate.....Though,
Truthful common knowledge
Listen to the Status Quo
They know

"It is what it is"
Non-negotiable one sided
For the closed minded
A wall, For the status Quo
To hide behind
To justify, Thought, Reason, Action
Self-serving attraction

Safety for freedom
Voyeurism in training
Manipulate the masses
Reality T.V. shows
Mind numbing, Thought succumbing
Gradualism sustaining

Now, We can put a camera
Everywhere you go
For safety sake
Just don't...
Write or say anything
Defined inappropriate
It will be checked by the
Status Quo

They are the ones
Who make the rules
Who pay the bills
Who tell you what to do
They are my three piece suited heros
What more can you say
They got this world
Where it is today

"It is what it is"
Short black mustache
Cropped bowl cut
Black hair
A cross with bent ends
Long brown shirt sleeved arms
Raised straight into the air
Non-negotiable, One-sided
Closed-minded

They have led us to the World
We now see
And if was up to me?
I don't know
I'll leave it up to
The status Quo.

I like this a lot. It almost sounds like it could be lyrics to a song.

....Thank you for your comment. Poetry is a song and visa versa. These next two are a little shorter and on the lighter side?
