Those in power
conjuring a dream,
a nightmare really
the lies they fed us
of mansions, of wealth
finding nothing really there
Hope in the streets
true freedom from oppression
bound in the shackles
prisons of their making
we on the treadmill
chasing a dream
We were never attaining
going, shouting,
after the brass ring
seeking our real freedom
lies they fed us
ringing in our ears

The Lies They Fed Us
Wall Street protests
=====
March 17, 2011
calling on President Obama
and the world
to act in the Middle East,
especially in Libya and Bahrain,
to stand with the people
yearning to breathe free
and not worrying about the
results,
that it is always right to stand for basic human rights
&
on
the transformations since the beginning of January -
all
the protests in Egypt, Yemen, Bahrain, Tunisia, Algeria, Libya, Oman,
Jordan,
Iran, Iraq, Palestinian Territories, Djibouti, Mauritania, Senegal, Saudi Arabia, etc.
