From my friend Jon Olsen, author of Liberate Hawaii. The REVEL-ution Our faith in government, once based on trust Has now irrevocably turned to rust. Oh yes, there are a few Whose loyalty to us is true. But countless others felt the need To attach themselves to corporate greed. You think the president calls the shots? Then it is you who dont connect the dots! The corporate elite, the one percent, Have directed laws to be bent In their favor against us all, Who in their view should be made to crawl. Some kids, they say, are now illegal And should be chased with a trained beagle. Yet all of us are really human, Except perhaps for Harry Truman (True Man!?) Who authorized those awful bombs To fall on old folks, kids, and moms Who had nothing to do at all with war, Yet paid the price to even the score. Today, as well, his kind survive To make pesticides that kills the hive Of our little friends the bees And devastate our majestic trees. I could go on with this tirade Concerning all the crimes they made: The false flag events that place the blame On others, so they wrongly claim, So many times to promote their wars. Instead they could have opened doors To Honor, Truth, Justice and Peace, And from misery gain true release. So, now it is our turn to find a way To liberate ourselves and make them pay For all the devastation they have done. Shall we count them all, one by one? Shattered economy, wars, and bankrupt folk-- To them it seems some kind of joke. So now what is it that we must do To free ourselves from their sticky glue That binds us to their exploitation Of us and all of natures great creation? I have some answers, and so do you. Together we can see this through, Taking inspiration from words so true. Legitimacy of government for me and you Is consent of us, the governed, whether red, Green, white or blue. Any trust we once had (And to say it is so very sad) Has been vaporized like all of those Whose lives decades ago were snapped like that of a rose. Like the Founding Fathers of before It is now our turn to discover the core Of a new way, so precious and bold And disintegrate this system, so cruel and cold. Jon Olsen Aug. 9, 2014 (Nagasaki Day)
