SOCIALIST POEM
Why I Voted the Socialist Ticket by Vachel LindsayI am unjust, but I can strive for justice.
My life's unkind, but I can vote for kindness.
I, the unloving, say life should be lovely.
I, that am blind, cry out against my blindness.
Man is a curious brute — he pets his fancies —
Fighting mankind, to win sweet luxury.
So he will be, tho' law be clear as crystal,
Tho' all men plan to live in harmony.
Come, let us vote against our human nature,
Crying to God in all the polling places
To heal our everlasting sinfulness
And make us sages with transfigured faces.

“Liberty has never come from Government. Liberty has always come from the subjects of it... The history of liberty is a history of limitations of governmental power, not the increase of it.

I Like this quote I dislike this quote
“In your life, you meet people. Some you never think about again. Some, you wonder what happened to them. There are some that you wonder if they ever think about you. And then there are some you wish you never had to think about again. But you do.

Im tired
I'm tired of the hunger I see on people's faces
Tired of the animosity between the races
Tired of corruption in high and low places
And pricks with money but no social graces
Tired of being judged for the style in my hair
And the music that I listen and the clothes that I wear
I'm Tired Of Life And Death Being Sold As A Pair
And politicians who keep saying they care
Maybe Hoping For A Change in a Dream
Maybe life ain't as bad as it seems
\
But if dreaming is the best I can do
Then I'll be dreaming my whole life through
What A Day When War Becomes A Thing Of The Past
And peace, we will have it at last
And Life Is Finally Worth Its Cost
And woah, woah, oh
What A Day
When Men
Finally Live What They Teach
And love ain't just a concept we preach
And blood no longer runs in the streets
Tired of leaving church, feeling robbed
hours of rambling, no mention of God
The richest man
the only one who does not have a job
A bunch of righteous freaks extorting worse than the mob
I got a vision of a whole other plain
Where the spiritual can flourish again
I'm just waiting for the fire to rain
Burn Down everything and start clean

The misogyny that shapes every aspect of our civilization is the institutionalized form of male fear and hatred of what they have denied and therefore cannot know, cannot share: that wild country, the being of women.

I am not interested in changing hearts and minds
I want to empower already enlightened minds
For those who have been robbed of their freedom,
innocence, dignity or spirit
The disregarded and discarded
The lost
the forgotten
