Not In My Name

Where are the protestors demonstrators and youth of today?
A system corrupted by incestuous power with none to stand in their way

Apathy rife in our land, eyes turned blind by the hardship we see
Fascist Networks scratching each others back while 'I hope it won't affect me'

It's time to raise up our voices and together be heard
Before its too late and generations suffer because of what has occurred

Fat cat politicians scraping their barrels before the arse falls out
Join together and let them cower, let 'not in my name' be the shout!!

One from my notes. I can't remember what I called it on here last time and might one of the ones I deleted.. But anyhow, here it is again

๐Ÿ˜‚ just searched and I called it the same thing last time.. Great mind thinks alike ๐Ÿ˜‚

According to Noel Chomsky, in America any way, there's been a systematic dumbing down in higher education. Also, keep people on the edge of making it and there's no energy for civil disobedience. Our major civil rights movements were organized and started by people who were not struggling to survive. Thankfully, it caught on with everyone else but only those who could, started the movements. Excellent piece! ๐Ÿ‘

@ckahn ty and I can see that all around me.. Plus many other factors including a fragmented society, fed lies and spin via govt led media PR.. It seems to me an increasing % of society would rather blame each other's class or group etc than our leaders. I hope the majority open their eyes and come together before it's too late.

So you guys got the blame game going on in politics too? It's been getting out of control here. Another tool to distract. You've inspired me to repost an old one. I'll tag you

๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘ and "great mind think alike" ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚. Think I have something close somewhere

@ckahn divide and conquer then destroy seems to be the order of the day.. It's at disgusting depths, including labelling disabled people as scroungers before cutting their benefits ๐Ÿ˜”๐Ÿ˜ ๐Ÿ˜ก

@sarahgamal ty .. I guess political leaders tend to become self serving when they reach the top all over the world to some degree or other

@Burrfoot yes and agree with the divide and conquer part. Look at Egypt for example. First divided as Islamist and non Islamist and then within the Islamist they are divided even more and non Islamist are either Christians or others and others are not acknowledged ...etc etc

Revolution day today lol love it ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜˜

@sjw bring it on... I could do with the overtime ๐Ÿ˜‰๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

@Burrfoot haha and that's a great movie too! ๐Ÿ˜˜

I was thinking of 'in the name of the father' I don't know whats up with my brain today! ๐Ÿ˜’

@sarahgamal ohh, yes! Get in on the rant! ๐ŸŒŸ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐ŸŒŸ

@sjw ๐Ÿ˜‚ I was scratching my head ๐Ÿ˜‚

Cool

Thank you @CookieCandyCream
