New World Order

They surround u
They all around u
Can't do nuttin they won't stop
Can't say suttin they up top
u can shop til u drop
unnecessarily
fo' therapy
in brand names
but they all da same
all part o' da game
to control u
de-soul u
make you a product of their own
an assett, or a liability,
but which will u be
Under the New World Order?

u can dance til u pop
to ur hip hop
fo' freedom
but u heed 'em
all along
through song
flowin'
unknowin'
it's subliminal
criminal
propaganda
to break u
take u
make u a product of their own
an assett, or a liability,
but which will u be
Under the New World Order?

u can take that honey
make that money
fo' ur own gain
but it aint so plain
u make more
tax take more
u lose yo autonomy
a slave to the economy
u become
u succumb
under da thumb
paying an eternal loan
ur a product of their own
an assett, or a liability,
but which will u be
Under the New World Order?

u can go to college
better yo knowledge
revise
to be more wise
creating ur own demise
cuz they in there too
hiding from you
what's really true
tellin u what they want to
hiding our history
shrouded in mystery
but it is to be
ur a product of their own
so
an assett, or a liability,
which will u be
Under the New World Order?

u can pray to da lord
clench yo rosary cord
for salvation
from the corporation
to no avail
whine and wail
but that's the way it's headin
the infection is spreadin
worldwide
no place to hide
time to decide
as a product of their own
an assett, or a liability,
which will u be
Under the New World Order?

They surround u
it's all around u

u can try n be blind
but they in yo mind
in yo being
all seeing
no point fleeing
aint no place to go
when u in da know
they on da dough
they everywhere
they be noxious
in yo subconcious
on ur mind
they be da weight
u be their bait
time to accept fate
and lose
and choose
as a product of their own
an assett, or a liability,
which will u be
Under the New World Order?

For one the poem is quite long First line out you is only three letters long why shorten it to u second line either use they are or they're nuttin and what is suttin I become quickly dismayed I suggest taking a good look at this work and perhaps rewrite it with less error and more meaningful wording Chrys

Thank you Chrys for your

Thank you Chrys for your comment and taking the time to read my poem! The errors in this poem are totally intentional, it is a spoken word poem and the way that the words are written is the way it should be spoken, it's almost like a rap! Nuttin = Nothing Suttin = Something Once again, thank you and I hope that this clears it up for you!! Joel
