careening down a reckless path

of blind hope and arguable vision

Am
Disseminating informalities
through a marginalized
A
public
Am
Appropriating the airwaves
Am
through dubious channels
A
Am
Injecting drops of fluoride
To cauterize the abscess
Am
A
of a vir tual reality society
How is the mind manufactured?
Am
A
Through censorship, propaganda,
A
And erasure of all history, politics,
and social development
Am
We demand freedom of information
A
Yet the Freedom of Information Act
has been rendered an oxymoron
Am
Under Reagan executive order,
all documents of potential controversy
are to be classified
A
Am
an d are therefore out of reach
A
Am
of the Freedom of Information Act.
A
Am
How can we hold federal agencies
A
Am
like the FBI, FDA,
and Department of Defense
accountable
A
when they are totally untouchable?
Am
A
Our minds under the spell
A
Bbm
A
For 20 years Capitol Hill has passed laws
to favor the rich and powerful
while the middle class crumbles
under the weight of taxation
and the working class and
Am
poor are being starved
A
Am
by privatization of health, education,
Insufficient prenatal care
gives way to astronomical infant
mortality rates in the city,
as the rich secede from a third world U .S.
A
Yet the middle and lower class taxpayers
Am
will still have to pay for the
crimes at the top.
A
Am
700 billion, including 250 billion
A
Am
for the subsequent cover
Am
the largest financial scandal
Am
A
We were blind to Re agan's
swindling in -law corporation assets,
A
Am
intelligence and tracking software,
and turning it over to O 'Brien,
A
a businessman and arms dealer,
Am
as a pay back for his arranging
of Reagan's arms for hostages,
October Surprise.
Then there's George Bush,
whose public persona
is absolutely one of virtual reality,
considering his central role in the
A
Am
CIA's covert operations
around the world for more
than three decades.
A
Am
In addition to his son Neil's
known SNL ties,
his brother Prescott,
by Japanese companies
A
with alleged links to organized crime.
Am
Son Jeff, a Miami real estate developer,
is a close friend and business
associate of Leonel Martinez,
A
Am
an active supporter of the Contras
who has been investigated
for four murders
and for smuggling cocaine and marijuana
into the U .S.
Martinez is currently serving
You tell me, are we blind
A
Am
or is it virtual reality?

Am
War is the health of the state
has been U .S. policy
for over two centuries.
However, when uncensored media
Am
radically altered public
opinion on the war effort,
it became necessary to conduct all
subsequent military campaigns
within the realm of virtual reality.
The Gulf War set new standards
for wartime secrecy.
A
Am
How do we make up our minds
when we aren't told
about the thousands of Iraqi soldiers
A
Am
buried alive by U .S. tanks?
Or the Marines' use of napalm?
A
Am
Or the denial and on
going cover -up
of Iraqi civilian casualties?
Or that reporters were routinely harassed
by government officers?
Both CBS and NBC
A
Am
refused to broadcast
uncensored footage
taken inside Iraq
by independent producers.
Do we believe Bush's claims
of massive Iraqi buildup
on the Arabian border
C
when Soviet satellite photos
Am
clearly contradicted this?
While we watch the war
C
and accompany cheerleading
do we realize that every
two days in the Iraq war
we spent 1 billion?
That's as much money
as a whole year's allocation
for AIDS treatment and research,
and that 70 % of that money is wasted
on cruel and pointless
animal experimentation.
In 30 days, the Gulf War cost more than the
whole federal annual allowance
for affordable houses,
environmental protection, job training,
Head Start,
alternative energy programs,
low income legal aid,
Am
adult literacy programs,
and handicapped education
combined.
Through all of this, the government,
corporations, and media
Am
continue to wage their assaults
on the women's and environmental
movements.
Lawsuits, surveillance,
and harassment of activists,
Am
A
coupled with misleading ad
vertising campaigns
Am
attempt to derail advancements
made by these movements.
Dan Quayle blaming
the decay of inner cities
Am
on single mothers and talk
radio personalities
who reflect corporate conservatism,
Am
ridicule and distort gains made in gender
and environmental protection.
Am
Am
This is just information to assimilate.
You take what you want from it.
we will continue to be blind.
Am
Can we escape virtual reality?
You make up your own mind.

Consolidate it. I'm out. Oh
