Free Iraq, Free Palestine, Free NYC, Free Speech
By Genevieve Cora Fraser
August 25, 2004
In the Great Struggle
For the Great Lawn
In Central Park
Free speech
Once again
Takes a back seat
To corporate
And political interests
In a world devoid
O f dissent only
Consent of the governed
By mass decree
Officially cleansed
Of thought or observation
Is permitted by judges
Committed to continued
Patronage
A world vision
Guided by remote control
Is Mind Control
Mass media
In the hands
Of the Few
Silence voices
Of the Many
Free Iraq Free Palestine
Free North America
Free South America
Free Asia Free Africa
Free Europe & Australia
From corporate greed
Marching to the drum
Of militarized domination
Enshrined as patriotism
Power belongs to the People
Of the world able and willing
To govern themselves
After examining all alternatives
In freedom
