I have hopes and dreams that reside silently screaming to be more then a corporate whore.

Living under the rule of boards and commity decisions has me stressing that i'm not living to the fullest of my potential.

Potential is the drive that pushes and pushes for the betterment of self, yet the minds of the high court keep a steady hand atop such growth.

They provide enough rope for one to ascend up just enough and then one must willingly give up diginity.

Dignity, my oh my, why even try to be devoid of such corruption, when corruption is the currency of the power brokers.

Chokers to the Bill of Rights with the villainous Patroit Act.
Act not out of opportunity, but of aptitude for correction that provides protection without dissipation of Civil Rights.

That's right, my and your rights are not the priority of the sitting hands, left or right!

Why is there not more of a civil upheaval or more apt, a fight to not allow fear to override our might?

How much will it take for us to awake?

How much must we lose before we see what's at stake?

How much are you ready to give away to make sure it not your wake?
