Citizen! Citizen, Do You See?


By: Gus Victoria

Citizen! Citizen, do you see?
The Government you voted in,
The men who stand for you,
Sit idly as you suffer,
Sign away your rights,
And fatten their purse
With all your coin.
Citizen! Citizen, do you know?
That all who fought before
Knew more freedom than you,
Had more rights to defend
Against all foes imaginary and real,
Against tyranny
And for despotism,
Citizen! Citizen, you have been betrayed!
All that voted
All who abstained,
Betrayed just the same,
Those in power
Make your children destitute,
While in patriotism they deliver
The death warrant of the Dream,
Across seas and across time,
They linger in shadows,
They watch and they plot,
They deliver death from a distance
And crown themselves Defender,
They murder and steal
And clothe in righteousness their crimes,
Citizen! Citizen, do you not see?
You are no longer free.

Caesar's Coin


By: Gus Victoria

Give to Caesar his coin,
Keep your guns,
The Horde is at the door,
The neighbor you know no more,
Claim the 2nd, plead the 5th
Liberty is just a myth
You’re a puppet without strings,
You can't resist
Holding signs
You drown in ignorance,
You beg for more,
Your bread
Your circus
You humble whore,
Take the dagger
Take the pill
But leave those bastards
on Capitol Hill,
The State kills,
On the altar you built,
They raise the banner
You hallowed,
With patriotic fervor you cry,
Under their Freedom you die.
