Kicking the Cage


By: Gus Victoria

Hostage to your ignorance,
We kick the cage
In righteous rage!
Oppressive oligarchy,
We kick the cage
In righteous rage!
Elected leaders
By your vote
Hold you back.
Elected leaders
Fuck you ten times
Before you fight back.
We kick the cage
In righteous rage!
There is blood you drew
By inaction spilt,
Innocence shattered,
Ammo gathered,
Guns gathered
By a diseased mind
A murderous trigger pulled,
We kick the cage
In righteous rage!
On the pile of bones
From children gathered
You demanded as price
To ignore responsibility
You rejoice in death,
You call it a right
You spew hate,
Fuck your ignorance,
Your Reagan too,
The second Amendment
The murder weapon
Of the nation
You fight for
As all your leaders
Fuck your corpse.
Few survivors…
Kick the cage
In righteous rage!

The Great Illusion


By: Gus Victoria

That you matter is
The greatest illusion.
That your voice counts,
The mass delusion.
A ballot to court,
A mandate to ignore.
The democracy of oligarchs
Is fantasy they give,
As they fuck their whore.
Money from the poor,
Power to the rich,
They take and take,
They rape and fake
Morality on a payroll.
On our backs
The Congressman’s palanquin,
And the Senator his twin,
Pimps and prostitutes,
Jacking off the Corporate dick.
Keeping us dumb,
Sending us off to war,
Keeping us hungry,
Eyes on a distant shore,
You can distract us,
The media and its circus,
But the day will come,
An end to your fun,
We the people,
Will find our voice,
We the people,
Will break the illusion.
We the people,
Will carry you no more.
