puzzle peices falling into place

I just realized I didn't need to fill in mood and music I'm listening to...since I am not the sheep that  most of these "journalers" are.

 

A highway built for you and me

Masked with fog so you can’t see

Off-ramp labels you should avoid

Detriment to a society destroyed

Criminals, protesters and tree-hugging hippies

No difference seen by the powers that be.

Where the path leads, nobody knows

Sacrificial sheep at the end of the road

They’re fucking with your fears

And they don’t care

About the countless tears

And the cross they bear

You wear it for them

As they find a way to spoil

Everything from the sky

To the precious soil

Speed limit rising as our freedoms fall

They won’t stop until they have it all

File your forms and wait for returns

Year after year we feel that burn

When they want you, they want it now

Americans serve as the systems cash cow

Blindly you followed, but not for the best

Now we need to put them to the test

They’re fucking with your fears

And they don’t care

About the countless tears

And the cross they bear

You wear it for them

As they find a way to spoil

Everything from the sky

To the precious soil

Gonna lose everything

Left wing and right wing

A grip on your soul

Their laws and tolls

Slowly they lied

Deaf to your cry

Now you are silent

You wonder why?

Systematic symptom problem solving

Never mind while our leaders are golfing

Fucker set your driver down you highly paid clown

Frown when people starve despite enough to go around

Life of dull pain, while you write your letters

Quick intense action will make us live better

So ignore the legislation and focus on your own

Take care of business, stop being a clone

They’re fucking with your fears

And they don’t care

About the countless tears

And the cross they bear

You wear it for them

As they find a way to spoil

Everything from the sky

To the precious soil

Cool poem.

Did you make it up?

It's my new rock song...if only I could find some other musicians to help me turn it into a song.  Hell, I'd settle for a folk song.
