Building the flame

by Ricardito Ramos

Under the veil of darkness,
The silence that sparks this
Loudness, the roar of those trampled upon,
Shall unleash against the beast that feasts upon them
Making the living the walking deceased
In the dreams of peace
Created by the dominated
That were taught hatred
Yet exhibit the most potent love
Looking above for one to save
Misunderstanding the demanding market
And the classes that taught them how to “properly” behave
For their property, we slave
Production for consumption,
A whole society build on dysfunction
They reap the surplus value
From our surplus labor
Those exploiters and raiders
Banking off alienation
Those who use the tool of the state for domination
Who manipulate capital flows
And the minds of those below,
To the point they make what we think we “know”
Who is the terrorist?
Who is the “hero”?
They got mansions in the tropics
As they throw the globe into sub-zero
Degree weather,
Can we really weather the storm that approaches?
They claim efficiency yet scatter like roaches
When crisis hits
Then claim deregulation was the error
But within a system of terror
One must look beyond the surface
The facade is worthless when truth is revealed
Truth is like the sun’s rays, a light that’s hard to keep sealed
They play off emotions and appeal to us with shopping “bargain deals”
The workers slumber…….

Jobs cut like lumber, wages suppressed
The roaring thunder of the people’s anger
Builds up to hit harder than the base of a club banger,
To blast capitalism in the face
As it feels the danger of retaliation from those that it wronged
The popular classes must build up their consciousness,
the revolution awaits
To strike like a bomb,
Splashing the nightmare of private property
Their police are brutal but our forces grow strong
For so long the cries of the people were repressed
They create buffers to stifle,
Gut you with a knife or blast with a rifle
If worker power you suggest
In imperialist dominated formations
Across the globe, their machine of death
Bring devastation,
It’s out of control
But the power lies in those who will bring in the new age
……
the mighty power of the people will roar
there will be no more stores
no corporations, no nations,
just one world insync with itself
a world of self-determination,, and communal help
so rise up the lighters
militate for worker’s power,
and set their world on fire!!!!
