Carrots And Sticks, By Brian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB and @Brianrrs37 on twitter.
In room 39
The money does climb
To the top
Used to keep society in line
Over there
They sell fear
"Gift Politics"
"Pay to play" here
They hate outsiders
Condem all rivals
Progaganda of nationalism
They keep their power
It's the same utopia
Of trickle down
Let the wealth do that they want
For they know what's best
Your dear leader
Will aid you in disaster
Loyalty is blind
Your orange master
That cant
Happen here
Is the refrain
Stated year after year
It has happend
In history before
When you remain silent
And wilfully ignore
One man
Long ago
Sold the same utopia
Of abundant bounty
The sense of intitlement
That your skin tone dictates
White Germans, North Koreans
Infecting the states
Wealth is right
Just listen to them
No one understands you
They are your kin
Carrots and sticks
Is how they do it
Reward blind loyalty
Vilify any dissent
The only way
That is prevented
Is by raising your voice
"Eternal vigilance".
