Citizens Be Anarchists
by Sloan L, October 2005

Anarchists hear me
listen indeed, and open your mind
self reliance is a rare commodity in this modern world
dependent anarchists are impotent
anarchy is freedom

Citizens pry open your ears
how can you vote for he whom you do not trust?
How can you shun the vocalist?
how can you deafen yourself to the solo?
Citizens why sign an inferior contract?

Anarchists be careful
Anarchists realize your strength
Anarchists realize your weakness
Anarchists study the world
the enemy of mine enemy is not my friend
I shall choose my friends by their qualities

Citizens what can you do?
Where is your voice?
What can you say?
Is your voice louder than corporate dollars?
Should you care at all?
Is Mickey D's ever enough?

Anarchists be wary of Thoreau
What is freedom in a land of welfare?
What is independence?
Where is my bean field?
Where are the actions behind your words?

 

 

Citizens where is tomorrow?
Why is murder patriotic?
How many lives for a barrel of oil?
When can I kill you for wanting to kill me?
Bombs can't silence words
words can kill twice.

Anarchists call a new National Guard
Splinter your cells
Camouflage your motives
Live in duality
Plan and devastate
Pervert information and keep your conscience
Share your conscience

Anarchists be Citizens
Citizens be Anarchists
Solitude is Death
Complacency rots the Spine
Care and act out
Protect your nation in secrecy

Thoreau was right
Hurt not;
Attract attention
Thoreau was also wrong;
Self sufficience is an illusion
Be as a Bee
Sting as a Crowd
Think like a tree
Tall, upstanding, roots astrew.
