Do You Really Want Change

   

Many people say they want a change in the world but the truth is many of us only want to be included... Here's what I mean; People are all quick to get upset and talk a lot of revolutionary things but when they sum up what they're really saying it seems they are only mad because they are not included more in this oppressive social structure...

   Most people don't care two shits what happens to the world as long as it isn’t happening to them... So you want revolution for real right??? But every day of your life is spent thinking how we can get some more of this shit... So I don't think revolution is what you really want... You love being the slave as long as your masters hide the truth of how they really feel from you...

   Really; lol: You're going change the world and still want to shop at Safeway Wal-Mart and Food Lion for you meals??? Revolution may be as simple as learning to grow your own food and open your own grocery store but I figure not many are ready to do that... Yet come black Friday you run to give your masters all you have for one silly ass day that has nothing to do with the truth of God... This is the reason I say we don't really want change from our present condition...

   If you really had a mind for change you would be finding ways to feed and clothe the nation... You would do less marching and begging and more school building... If you were true to what you say they couldn't buy you off with dreams of better jobs bigger houses and cars... Which by the way are only better slave traps...

   My friends you don't want freedom; you just want to be free to be a better slave... You love your oppressors... You love the way they look the way they dress they talk and really you're a woman who loves an abusive man... You love to have your ass beat... Some will read this and be mad but I don't care because I got God and my ancestors... They will keep me company...
