I have been given a message to deliver
to
Proctor and Gamble
to
Pepsi Cola and
Exxon
to
United Fruit and
Nike
I speak for those
in
the Resistance:
you win.
we give up.
They recruited me from among the
hippies
and freaks
and free-thinkers
and
communists
at a
bonfire
drinking
pear cider
smoking a
joint
with a
communist
We agreed that
liberty was at stake
all over the world
and that's where
they hooked me
"it's a coin
not a die."
they said
"you fight
or you don't"
We spent years struggling against you
you poisoned
you murdered
you lied
your
wicked machine
kept the unfed unfed
kept the poor poor
and made the rest of us
need you
We went through your blocks in the night
we opened cell after cell
broke chain after chain
fed mouth after mouth
but returned alone
every night
No one wanted
to be free
in lieu of
TV
