Currency emergency

get rid of the money
I've been dreaming of my Grandma
keeping the farm looking good for fans
for pics
for business
because what's good for business is good for his-nest is good to keep the conversations at lunch pleasantly rebellious
is good for the wallet and the principals held onto for the rich
what looks pretty is good for business and this business is none of your business if you can't afford it
And they sleep tight in their big warm house humming
If we could amend the system we would and in the meantime what's good for business...and in the meantime let's stay comfortable...
I don't hate the rich it's the bubble, the exclusive isolation i find appalling
Because it's far to easy to talk about peace and justice with your privileged white friends
it's not the money i hate
it's how it's used and what it's come to represent
What's good for business is business as usual
so
mind
your
business
so mind your refusal
so
mind
your
consciousness
include
create
renewal
I've been listening for plant voices, feeling they can help us to find the answers
What's good for big business is brainwashed fans and dizzy dancers

Battle cry



 Chances are
They’ll call me argumentative
Stubborn and rebellious
They’ll pucker up at all this pluck
They’ll shake their heads at my conviction
And say things are not black and white
They’ll carry on with their festivals and philosophy classes
They will study evolution and fear technology with the same intensity as their lust for it
They will think me crazy
But never complacent
Maybe it’s not the time or the place
To declare this country as much mine as anyone’s
And in this day and age of information youngsters hardly want to choose one thing
But I know wrong and right and I know relativity
And no matter how fancy your words or how studied your talk
I will never believe in the relativity of ok-ness of choosing money, gas and power over life
It’s not ok
It’s time to stand up
