Eco Soldier – Resource Wars

SAMSUNG CAMERA PICTURES

“Resources” – © chriscondello 2013 – Abandoned House – Wilkinsburg, PA – What is a resource?.. It depends on your surroundings… You know… I have heard there are more abandoned houses than homeless people… If in fact that it true… The system is truly failing us…

How many trees will be cut to the ground?..
How much oil will be drilled from the earth?..
How much gas?.. How much coal?..
Another mine and we’ll be living in a hole…

Future skyscrapers… Gas tower skyline…
As dangerous as a nuclear land mine…
Sitting smack dab in the middle of a park…
And here we come walking in the dark…

Nuclear exposure… Tolerance builds…
Induced allergens… Medical bills…
Who the fuck is going to fight this war?..
Take this system and rattle it to its core…

We are all now ecological soldiers…
Gearing up to fight the resource wars…
Enemy combatants will come from far…
Just to fight over our sand and tar…

Domination is not a resolution…
Governments operate similar to prostitution…
Control healthcare… Control life and death…
Control the controllers every breath…

We are nothing more than a tax base…
Governments farm the human race…
Then they harvest our ripe green money…
Obama says it tastes slightly like honey…

Or a fine wine… Bought on our dime…
At an event that was attended by slime…
While they eat organic free range beef…
While you and I get fed Monsanto wheat…

GMO corn is like political porn…
Subsidies are just a way to weather the storm…
Farm stamp… I mean… Food stamp bill…
About the same as telling everyone to chill…

We got this… We got your back…
Would you rather we bring back a problem like crack…
War on drugs… Politicians are thugs…
Sweep the sweepers right under the rug…

Weather the storm… Storm the weather…
Either way we need to stand together…
We will never outgun the government machine…
Hold them accountable… Make them clean…

Stand up for what you believe in…
Whether God… Science… Or sin…
Stand up… Woman and men…
Time to fight… Words… Fists… Or pen…

The 1% of the 99%

peace
We are the ninety-nine percent…
Says eighty people camping in a park…
You don’t represent me…
You don’t have enough bark…

Change will be of the people…
Not for the people…
Power lies in the government…
Controlled by the steeple…

So attack Washington DC…
Or attack the president…
It won’t mean anything…
He’s just an elected resident…

Instead of wasting resources…
Marching in DC…
You should have built a garden…
For the people to see…

Instead of chartering a bus…
Build a raised bed…
Do something that’s constructive…
Like keeping your neighbors fed…

So keep claiming ninety-nine percent…
While you reach for the one…
I keep trying to tell you…
Buy a hoe and trade in your gun…

I am very much against the building of a massive oil pipeline cutting our country in half, but my front line is my neighborhood gardens…

I actually stand a chance to win that war…

Take your own advice and think locally…
