Awaken The Kraken Poem by louis rams

They go into politics with good intentions in mind
Till the corrupt politicians make them blind.
They say you cannot achieve that goal without the help
Of someone, so they introduce you to the one
With ‘ THE BIG GUNS ‘
They will back you with billboards, radio and TVs. ads
If you follow their simple plan.
They are lobbyist who are willing to pay if you do what they say.
Once they have their nails in you - none of your dreams will come true.
You are now just a piece of meat from your head to our feet.
They will freeze you or eat you as they see fit and take their
Bites bit by bit.
The only ones that stay true to themselves are the peacekeepers
Such as MANDELA, MARTIN LUTHER KING,
The KENNEDYS who were assassinated because they wanted change
And we as the public are to blame.
Wealth and power is what politicians seek and want the public blind and weak, so we allow this because we are meek and afraid if we speak.
(truth being said: no one person can do it on their own without
Physical or financial help from people who believe the same as you)
Injustices can only be fought with the power of voices united.

RELEASE THE KRAKEN
