Marginalize Their Greedy Squeals


Cast out the amoral animals who for so long have set the agenda that led us into this mess
Throw out the fools who invented these various greedy, non-renewable ponzi pyramids
Go back to the best of the past and meld it to the New Green

Kick out those so-called free market, bulldoze-and-run, copy-and-paste developers
Because now they’ve had their 50 years of gluttonous and uncurbed, wanton destruction
Bring back respect and love for simply sustaining the earth and its treasures

Give up the worship of blind greed that has stolen so much without even paying interest
Root out the lie that it all must come down to the money, every single goddamn time
Wake up the financial innovators still caught in their wrung-out, unregulated NeoCon MLM schemes

Finally, even give peace a try, now that they have had their violent way for far too long
Bring back the dreams they so long have scornfully rejected without even a fair hearing
Their time is over now, so take a look around and simply review their accomplishments

Brush aside those who for too many years have labeled you as simple and foolish idealists
For they’ve starred too long in this show that has resulted in a dirty and unsustainable mess
Don’t bother to fight them, let’s just everybody move out quietly and head the other way

Forget their smash and grab, waste for today, foolishly noisy, selfish rationalizations
Get back in tune with the ancient song of the earth they still find so goddamn silly
Leave them to their phony memoirs but never forget their very real and very destructive lessons

Get them out of the way now, but not out of our history books
Quietly ignore their constant self-abusive hurry, anger, stress, noise and worry
Even bring back a bit from the sixties and we shall try to overcome, once again

Don’t struggle against them but don’t bother listening to them anymore, either
Ease them from power, leave them stewing inside their expensive locked and gated compounds
Clean up their messes, get on the right path and simply don’t let them do it again

Turn off their reasonless noisemakers and recycle their foolish gas-powered toys
Now we’ve seen their results and it’s time to straighten up and get started on our own
Go about your good business and leave them to strangle alone in phony suits and ties

Marginalize them with an overwhelming kindness and a smilingly-smothering concern
Herd them safely together like 1st graders, in their own simple but noisy confusion
They had their best shot but now have walked away, tasking us with rescuing the future

Let a billion small voices overcome their scripted and poisonous corporate sound bites
Allow the sounds of nature to replace their random and self-centered advert nattering
Save more for those to come instead of stripping and wasting all we can now for ourselves

Smile politely as you pass by their lawn chairs, moving away in a different direction
Clean up their glossy spin along with all the careless litter they left on the ground
Forget their phony free market healthcare, education, environment and poverty solutions

Turn their toxic legacy into a great lesson that we shall never forget and never have to repeat
Junk their worn-out fantasy religious rationalizations and venal social darwinism
Free eroded corpro-conglomerated farm land from pesticides, fossil water and petro-fertilizers

Release our domestic animals from the ongoing holocaust their ignoble corporate masters perfected
Re-measure progress by the sustainable wild salmon harvest not by how many bloated SUVs they sold
Turn away from cynically smirking leaders reading with false twangs the speeches that others wrote

Suffocate them gently with soft pillows stuffed full of fluffy peace and love
Demonstrate that you understand them and then force them to listen to you for a change
Leave them squawking in meaningless, impotent rage - and then go post the video

Tax the living shit out of them in the name of those they have outsourced and displaced
Turn quietly aside and relegate them to a small but shrilly-whining margin
Don’t forget all their lessons and don’t let them back in power, ever again

Keep them aware of their results 24x7, wherever they choose to travel
Redistribute their pirated assets for schools, clinics, infrastructure and reclamation projects
Put them to work on chicken farms, in feedlots and bent painfully over in the onion fields

Convert some of their crumbling so-called trophy homes into museums of unvarnished greed
Preserve and combine names, dates and deeds into a twisted but cohesive history
Answer their last bailout pleas with empathetic offers of work at cleaning urban ERs

Busy their marketing and advertising geniuses promoting peaceful cooperation
Thoroughly safety test their adulterated, imported products on them, their families and their pets
Pester them with swindled widows, forgotten children, the uninsured and outsourced workers

Study their bios that their likes are prevented from ever again rising to power
Find ways to treat their greedy, monomaniacal, need to ignorant power with mercy
Set them savagely against each other in inconsequential and harmless competitions

Marginalize their greedy squeals for they led us to waste too much, for far too long
