Right On, Pastor Wright

Right On, Pastor Wright

Put down with disdain
for exposing real pain
of folks whose God-given power's
crushed by evil glowers
of corrupt so-called warriors
exulting what's destroying us,
leading us into perdition
disassembled, reconditioned
to hate by their plan
taught not to understand
our own best hope 
to not be hooked on their dope
caught up in their fantasies
denying true sanity
to rally 'round a flag.
Watch them give that tail a wag,
pledging hand on heart it's
our job to feed their markets
while tossed out on the street
eating tainted meat
breathing poisoned air.
They may cry like they care
to fool again, to lead us
into foreign wars to bleed us
for their fortunes, wealth expanding
until we understand banding
together, sisters, brothers,
trusting our own truth, not others'.
Pastor, preach and rail,
remind us their jail
can only bind us
when we allow them to blind
and define us.
