the 4th reel epiphany

By theBAC

(or overcoming thinking for yourself)


unnamed terror
an imposing imminet threat
stock up on bottled water, batteries,
and gas masks
duct tape your windows and doors,
practice duck & cover
we are at level (agent) orange
protect your kids from Zyklon B
by feeding them massive amounts of vitamins
and strike carbs from their diets
you should be cautious

there is terror all around
it could be in that envelope
or unmarked package from israel
an imposing imminent threat
we are at level 8-4
(watch out for Bowser!)

be afraid
be so very afraid
do not venture outdoors
do not talk to people on the street
they may exhale mustard gass
or have anthrax in their pores
be afraid

go about your normal lives
but just be
SCARED FUCKING SHITLESS!!
fill up your gas tanks
buyt a lot to maintain economical stability
just trust in your government
we know how to waste, er, spend your money

if you see any black males in their 20’s
walking through the suburbs, please
call the cops immediately
or any middle eastern men in the farmland
call the ATF and INS
and geraldo

everything is fine
nothing to see here
OH FUCK WHAT WAS THAT EXPLOSION!!
don’t look over there!
keep looking forward
follow the lemming in front of you
put on your running suit and reeboks
pass the colection
then the dirty needle

there is an unnamed terror
terror without a face
it will strike soon
it will strike in enough time
for me to look good
come elction year

there is not only a threat in your country
but your city
your state your ‘hood
but also in your computer
the threat is an email
subject heading: XXX!!

terror in your keyboard
fear is in your breath
terror at your playgrounds
fear inside your kids

i don’t hink i’m being told the truth
i think someone is lying to me
but i appointed people to think
and make decisions for me
i’ll just stick to fearing and consuming
you just stick
to slowly killing me

    dig the piece , but i stood and watched the towers fall ... walk by bomb sniffing dogs twice a day... go through metal detectors 20 times a day ... and feel no fear , and where are the lies - terror has a face

    fun stuff , but seems like reverse rhetoric propoganda to me ... pointing at " the govt." ? when did anyone trust the govt.? i wear my seatbelt ... even though i've never been in an accident ,,, i guess i'm cattle or something --
