Loose the Demons Within

Loose the demons within ye,
Fear not while they encircle thee,
For if you don’t you’ll never know
What truly lives inside your soul.

You’ve let them loose and soon you’ll see
What it is that you can be;
Indeed you’ll need to sort things out
and live your life without a doubt.
There’s no changing what we’ve done,
We must learn from where we’ve gone;
Who we are and what we’ve become.
The only life necessity
Is choosing our own destiny;
Setting out to overcome,
We can become anyone.

Truth you learn about yourself
Can’t be found on any shelf.
The power deep within your soul
Can take you where you want to go;
The only way to further growth
Is to take a stand and give an oath
that you’ll move with certainty
and you can change who you will be.
It’s not easy, that’s for sure
but you will indeed mature.
If you’re seeking happiness
Alas, with this: rest your stress.
There is nothing you can see
or buy or touch to set you free.
There is but one truth required
Self satisfaction must be acquired.
Discover this and you will see
Just how happy you can be.

Take it further and you will know
Just how much the world can grow.
Instead of bickering in petty quarrels
We can stop killing and live with good morals.
Let us protect our sovereignty
Did you know you’ve lost civil liberty?
You see while you’ve argued about Abortions,
Scandals, Drugs, and Religious Forces.
In terror you’ve missed what’s most important, see
you’ve failed to protect what makes us free.
Tagged “Patriot” during a media war,
A bill once declined can pass on The Floor
Completely abolishing what we hold dear
while idiots, confused and consumed with fear,
Will force their opinions instead of just fact
With meaningless laws that we should retract.

Completely preoccupied in a screen of smoke,
We’ve forced our opinions, now our system is broke.
We’ve sacrificed all our fathers have left us
And traded it all for war, debt and taxes.
We leave important stuff like accountability,
to a biased and lying “research” committee.
The distortion, fear and covered up importance,
Truly comes from inside this body of governance.
There’s plenty of details you didn’t see,
As they hushed them and rushed them and said “trust me.”
You can’t pay attention while you run and hide,
You’ve been deceived by your own side.
Even if there was an attacker, you see,
Lying to your people is unnecessary.
Now look at it all in retrospect,
We all messed up but, with respect,
We can still research a good portion,
Not the whole truth, but at least some distortion.
Then ask yourself, in all honesty,
“Do I really think those leaders care about me?”
It’s probable that some really do support us,
But their will alone can’t destroy this circus.

If the country were still run constitutionally,
We would actually still be free.
Instead we vote for satanic “Christian” posers
and let baseless wars start right under our noses.
With loaded terms like “Conspiracy”
We’re told these things are simply crazy!
Why do you think elections are hard to decide,
If you act day-to-day like our politicians don’t lie.
It’s talking to each other, that is the key
I’ll listen to you, you listen to me,
Don’t claim It insane if you won’t check and see,
You should admit: that’s just plain blasphemy.

A system designed to move “money” to the top,
While you’re getting robbed for all that you’ve got.
Private companies managing worth of our own sixpence,
But money no longer has value, besides “confidence.”
Economy is rated by spending, you see,
and we’re the ones spending, while they save with greed.
While we spend 100% of our earnings,
They sing and praise our mindless subservience.
Hughes, Rockefeller and Bushes resting above us,
draining our pockets and singing in chorus.
Spending a fraction of what we deliver,
while watching society’s pockets perpetually get slimmer.
Next the fake economy withers and crumbles,
So we print more money “to save the masses”
cycles everlasting in a system of shambles.

Poverty and misery and all that’s distorted,
are illusions from history when man stumbled and horded.
But we’ve progressed far—really far since then,
there is chance to recover, but our minds must bend.
There’s plenty of resources for us all to survive,
And even have homes, water and food for all people alive.
We’re going to have to work hard and strive.
It will take research and unlearning,
departure from this hive,
but satiation of yearning
can still arrive.
Even for trinkets and “meaningless” obsessions,
we have enough tools to destroy this oppression.
We will still work, and still live daily lives,
But we will be honest, without false inflation,
We will distribute goods amongst every nation.
Living in real world economy,
where we no longer think of an enemy.
We can even still live very comfortably,
With items of convenience shared for free.

We just can’t support this stupid economy,
unless we’re wealthy, stupid or we enjoy slavery.
There’s so much more that you deserve,
But they’re holding us back and making us serve.
Even spending money, to push good research under,
Just to prolong this world encompassing blunder.
The reach of those “elite” few has grown to be ubiquitous,
But our founding fathers are counting on us,
To protect their design which, to this day, remains tremendous.
The system they made was designed to protect us,
Our ignorance in using it is just plain sacrilegious.
The “lesser of evils” is the one that destroyed it,
along with me and you when we let them deform it.
Pay attention to congress and the hierarchy,
and start demanding better transparency.
It’s our fuckin’ country, made by you and me,
so stop looking for answers from FOX and NBC.
Those choices are ensuring our slavery.
Get off your ass and make a stand, it’s free,
And maybe we’ll retake our liberty.

Before you label and ignore me,
Remember the importance of speech that is free.
I’m not yet worried about UFOs
I’m much more concerned about what the facts expose
Right here and now in our own country
Awful things have happened; it’s up to you and me
To set this straight and do things right
We can’t be too indifferent or lazy to fight.
We must stand strong and gather our might
And never give up on repairing the blight
The road will be tough but we’ll do it despite
All obstacles are nothing, and this may sound trite,
But, we can restore our nation and the world’s delight.
I know it probably seems like I’m being forthright,
But it’s absolutely essential, you start caring tonight!

I wrote this poem some time ago and I feel like I probably didn't post it because I wanted to edit it, but I threw an excerpt of it online recently and so I've decided to post the whole thing. Another possibility is that I wasn't intending to link a long-time anonymous pseudonym to my publicly known profile, but I don't think I ever published any of the other stuff written under it so it seems like a moot point.
