Consumerism is Compliance
when a compasionate person says they dont care
about underpaid eight-year old
slaving in american factories in indonesia
when a loyal person feels
no loyalty towards other beings
and advocates wholesale robbery
of the working poor
i know theres an enemy
i know im not fucking wrong
i know that there is a purpose
i know where my energies belong
when an honest person endorses
lies
when a strong person bows down
without any question
i know there is a cause
I have found a reason
ive discovered my purpose
i remember why im 23
angry poor and dirty
we cannot trade compliance
for the brass rings that they sell
we must resist the offer
to sell each other into slavery
and now, as it stood before
our silence equals death
we are responsible for every action that we take in our lives
so if buying their lives gives them power
refuse resist consumerism is compliance\
