The Power=Together

we are the ones who

turn the keys
sit at the desks
fill the streets

we are the ones who

tap the computers
keep the cog working smooth
spend hours as commuters

we are the ones who

turn the cranks
work 40 to 70 hour weeks
fill the banks

we are the ones who

serve the grub
keep the “good” employed
the Rich and Elite beloved

we are the ones who

keep the traffic running
production lines humming
the oil and coal sales gunning

we are the ones who

buy into ideals and rules
trust others to make the decisions
down pills and drinks for moods

we are the ones who

demand the stuff
want and need
believe we don’t have enough
 
we are the ones who

haul the trash
dump junk in the Ocean
fill the stores and keep going back

we are the ones who

pour chemicals into our water supply
spray poison on our gardens
cause the ecosystem to die

we are the ones who

put guns in hands
turn over our children for war
give up our rights and lands

we are the ones who

make the bread
hand over our savings to the Feds
let tv – cable – internet fill our heads

we are the ones who

are in anguish and pain
hide in our houses
lost in Society’s games

we are the ones who

sit passively by
while our country is being stolen
as freedom and civil liberties die

we are the ones who

can say NO
make the change
show others how to grow

we are the ones who

can put an end to these walls
turn away from the norm
let the old ways fall

we are the ones who

leave the past world behind
rely on one another
together—we will be fine
