Narrative is more bankrupt than your bourgeois morality and
o the scale of Mr Right and Mr Right Now i am
clearly Mr Left and (maybe just Left cause we aint in to honorifics round these parts)
fuckin tired of elitist racism in guise of
ivy league gentility
dunno if thats a word, don't care
cause i have seen to much shit in the last
three years to believe your lies
and when we were getting
pepper sprayed and beat by the cops on 5th avenue
Richard Levin was inside the waldorf with zedillo
talking about markets and democracy
JC was in jail for three days, MSM got pepper sprayed in the mouth
and i was worried about Ella and Anna
and everyone else
the thousands in the streets flanked by cops in riot gear who charged the crowd after making us wait in front of the plaza hotel for two hours and started beating people.
Richard Levin's suit has been provided by the proceeds form the Sudanese civil war, Russian Privatization, the cracked hands of a sixteen year old textile maquladora worker in ciudad juarez sewing those white letters onto blue cotton and disappearing into oblvion
and by the engineering student suffering from cancer who sat in hospital beds panicking unsure about whether he would lose health care benefits while chemo
kept him out of the lab.
Richard Levin was there
when the oligarchs dressed in suits
hair slicked back in respectable fashion
made their pronouncements about austerity and structural adjustment
when the blood of the third world minbgled with that of the second until the terms no longer held any meaning
You can take your private equity and shove it up your ass. How many of us have to kill ourselves before you grow up and become a human being?
Mr Levin, i have found your weapons of mass destruction. Please inform the president. You can let him know before March 2005 even. It wasn't hard just took a dozen years work by tons of researchers and organizers.
The denial of health care is a weapon of mass destruction
slumlordism is a weapon of mass destruction
medical debt is a weapon of mass destruction
war profiteering (how many wars, i wonder) is a weapon of mass destruction
Baca water rights was a weapon of mass destruction
threats of deportation is a weapon of mass destruction
urban imperialism is a weapon of mass destruction (this gourmet heaven gives me migraines)
union busting is a weapon of mass destruction
redlining is a weapon of mass destruction
Tell the president, Rick. Tell him that all of these weapons of mass destruction were discovered today in Woodbridge Hall.
This is a class war on corporate and state terror tactics
Like we said in new york when you were drinking champagne and joking with Sandy Weil and Strobe Talbott while we were dodging pepper spray and batons,
"the world needs us in the streets
we won't back down
we won't retreat."
And like Jim Lawson said we
won't be your
plantation
anymore.  ¶ 11:56 PM
