Funding my own demise

It hit hard
like a cinderblock
dropping from a third story
balcony
and slamming against
concrete

If I sit behind a desk
eight hours a day
and spend another two hours
mopping up shit
from a health food store
the red, white, and blue
strips away my clean green
dollar bills
and I become my own enemy

My money becomes dirty
the instant it bleeds
into new goverment programs
designed to lock me up
for enjoying drugs

My money becomes dirty
the instant it bleeds
into a war
between the Christians and the Muslims

And the taxpayer
becomes my worst nightmare
designed to fight against me
without even knowing it
just as they designed me
to work against myself
or die




Please tell me what you think

    yeah the country is eating its own brain. Glad i got out of there alive, and i dont ever want to go back... until of course the revolution happens. I give it 20 years.. weither revolution, full blown depression, or whatever madness will ensue when the chineese decide to start the bidding war for the last few remaining drops of oil in this used up planet

    MARS 2015!!
