Goodbye..
As America slips into 2d World status, i.e., European socialism and Islamic creep, the one party ruling class will continue to blame the misery, shortened life spans, and degraded living conditions of the masses on corrupt capitalists and right wing zealots. We all laughed at communist/socialist/fascist show trials of perp walking "officials/dissidents" being tried for betrayal of the "peoples trust." We won't be laughing soon..
When enough people attempt to shake off the shackles of tyranny, they may succeed only to find the political and economic landscape so stark that recovery to anything NEAR what we had 40 years ago will be daunting; one only has to look to Russia to understand how the Proletariat will have even less when, in 70 years, the blinders are removed. Without a capitalist infrastructure, the education to foster a work ethic, and a stable economic investment base, crime becomes rampant and resources end up in the hands of robber barons.
Those alive today will not live long enough to see our children climb out of this pit; our children's children may. My only real concern in this whole mess is whether or not future generations will glean enough from their recent history to squash the liberal, libertine, and Statist animal when it again raises its seductive head.
---------------------------------------------
Take the children and yourself
and hide out in the cellar.
By now the fighting will be close at hand.
Don't believe the church and state
And everything they tell you;
Believe in me, I'm with the High Command.
Can you hear me,
can you hear me running?
Can you hear me running,
can you hear me calling you?
Can you hear me,
can you hear me running?
Can you hear me running,
can you hear me calling you?
There's a gun and ammunition
just inside the doorway;
Use it only in emergency.
Better you should pray to God,
The Father and the Spirit,
Will guide you and protect from up here.
Can you hear me,
can you hear me running?
Can you hear me running,
can you hear me calling you?
Can you hear me,
can you hear me running?
Can you hear me running,
can you hear me calling you?
Swear allegiance to the flag,
Whatever flag they offer;
Never hint at what you really feel.
Teach the children quietly,
For someday sons and daughters
Will rise up and fight while we stood still.
Can you hear me,
can you hear me running?
Can you hear me running,
can you hear me calling you?
Can you hear me,
can you hear me running?
Can you hear me running,
can you hear me calling you?
Silent Running
