How many more years
with nothing but war and fear
evolution failed

Keep building weapons
for the sake of someone's greed
see you soon I think...Kelly McManus

Fish walked on a beach
then became a chimpanzee
now just floundering

Will we all survive
uncivilized warring tribes
or die from small minds

An owl in a tree
patiently waiting to see
its dinner scurry

Militaristic
the gist of society
only ends badly

When the world is bad
remembering
the good times
that we use to have

they'll get the freedom they seek
with bombs and disease...Kelly McManus

police state interest rate
compounded daily

A dictatorship
you must always keep one eye
on your generals...Kelly McManus

They try to warn you
poets and musicians too
but fear's a deaf ear

               Kelly McManus

They say they're heroes
after extorting me with
their racketeering

             Kelly McManus

Open up your eyes
see the world the way it is
and know it must change

In a world run by
grave diggers the only laughs
are found underground

                                         Kelly McManus

Better sip it slow
as water evaporates
leaving no reserves...Kelly McManus

Never lose your faith
to the wickedness of state
nor corporate flunkies

The older you get
the more that you can see haven't
you seen enough yet

You bought your ticket
thier railroading you next stop

When the world's not nice
I have no hesitation
to smile anyway...Kelly McManus

Do they frighten you
with what they threaten to do
lest you agree to

                         Kelly McManus

Now we've nearly reached
the end of our existence
insignificant

All you remember
the only power they have
is what you give them

Even with a modest amount of technological advancement,
after thousands of years, we still found man,
walking around with a club in his hand, and still too primitive;
to be made aware of our existence.

                                                     ­         Kelly McManus

You're chained to money
but you still claim to be free
that's funny to me

                                Kelly McManus

We're all approaching
other people's misfortune
unless we say no

                  Kelly McManus

Watch puppet people
dance at the end of their strings
crying puppet tears...Kelly McManus

Life is a lesson
and this world has learned enough
gone in one last puff

                                    Kelly McManus

No other human
is superior to you
an unwritten truth

    Kelly McManus

All the bugs will love
that waterfront property
after we're all gone
                                   Kelly McManus

Upper echelons
the worlds inequality
is chained by command...Kelly McManus

Obviously the
future of a warrior
species extinction

     Kelly McManus

It's their corruption
finding new ways to destroy
all us girls and boys

                      Kelly McManus

I have memories
of  the often forgotten
dreams that I wake from

                                          Kelly McManus

Want a masterpiece
then paint greed out of the world
that's a work of art

                              Kelly McManus

Bartender's better
than theoretical quacks
and some poison pills

                                    Kelly McManus

Poetry warns you
but you only heed the voice
of stupidity
                         Kelly McManus

They've written the script
mankind's annihilation
no we won't be back

Sure you can trust them
if ending all of our lives
is your intention

               Kelly McManus

People change your ways
letting mad scientists play
with the end of days

                 Kelly McManus

Pray you are blessed with
enough food on your table
and a nice warm bed
                                     Kelly McManus

The Palace, needs more,
pleasantry of peasantry,
means less for the poor.

                              Kelly McManus

Know where they keep us
running around in circles
round and round we go

If they threaten you
in any way they're not friends
yet you follow them...Kelly McManus

She is a canvas
to be painted with make up
and put on display...Kelly McManus

All the goods they sell
unfortunately are bad
it's a package deal

When will the day come
when survival supersedes
their destructive needs...Kelly McManus

All their  lawyer lies
like recording all of us
with implied consent...Kelly McManus
