A poem by David Sky
(to be read out loud especially to children)
Americans,
Stand up now!
Get off your knees!
Look up at the monster
In the room,
The Government, mighty Corporations,
It is become The Machine
Trying it's machine best
To subsume us, become us.
It is an inhuman, soulless thing.
Say to this thing right to It's Face,
For the sake of your precious children
For the sake of your own dear souls -
“Hey, Fuck you, Machine, ENOUGH!”
Say, I AM America goddammit!
Say, I AM from sea to shining sea !
Say, I AM the mountains majesty!
America is not this land
Not the metal of its armies
Not a flag or a government
America is us all, we the people
Machine you will By-God
Answer to me now! -
To US now! To the people!
We are not your slaves
We are your master!
