A word from Consumer X

Dear Sirs:

We want our fuckin country back.
I say that as if we ever had it.
We want our fucking country back.
You had your chance and you just fucked it up

By the people and for the people
Died when you took control.
It has been replaced
By the lies of greedy, power hungry, fascist, oppressors.
The people of this country are raised for exploitation and slaughter.
Like cow equals Big Mac and Dentine equals fresh breath

I have the right to live and be happy
Or sad if it’s of my choosing.
I have the right to own a gun.
I have the right to NOT kill someone because my government tells me to.
I have the right to not watch television,
To not take a number,
To not be coerced for feeling the way I do.
I have the right to choose my own religion or lack thereof (and not just limited to some brand of Christianity).
I have the right to live how I want to
And to die when and how I decide to.
To smoke a joint
And not believe a single word you tell me.
I have the right to make my own choices.
I have the right to tell someone they’re an asshole if they actually are one.
I have the right to hate what you do to me
And to call you on it.
And I have the right to make you quit.

You shouldn’t hate me.
I am not a terrorist.
I am not a communist (if you remember what that’s supposed to mean).
I am not a republican.
I am not a democrat.
I am not a murderer.
I am not a religious fanatic.
I am not a drug addict.
I am not a drunk (like there’s any difference).
I am not a liar.
I am not a thief.
I am not a subversive paranoid or an evildoer.
I am not a pawn for you to move in your greedy little game.
I am not a bought or sold commodity.
I am a human with the right to use my life however I see fit.
Just as you are…..

Give us our country back.
Please give us our country back.
You’ll only poison it, and destroy it.
Would you give a child the keys to your car?
Well you’re driving our world into the ground and I don’t think you know where the brakes are.
You buy your power with poisons and death.
Hope is more profitable but there is not an exchange rate for happiness.
Money is green paper. Nothing more.
Power is an illusion. How happy are you really?
You are greedy for that which is only an illusion.
A man-made hamster wheel that will run you to death.
I am greedy for that which is best in life.
The ultimate human experience.
My one life.
How will yours be remembered?
In the history books and biographical documentaries
Your name spoken from your grandchildren’s mouths
After your gravestone weathers into nothingness.
After the sun burns out and a black hole eventually destroys our planet.
Your life is now
Echoing on the backdrop of the universe.
Live it for you.
Quit grasping at the coat-tails of fleeting power, possessions, and bank accounts.
It’s a waste of energy.
Don’t hate yourself when death stares you in the eye.
When that last second stretches into infinity
When truth is known and you are everything there ever was
Make sure you can smile.
After all, "We love to see you smile".
Thank you. Drive thru.

Some basic truths that I believe are self evident

I refuse to let anyone tell me what chemicals I should or shouldn’t put into my body.

I refuse to let anyone tell me what god to pray to or what church to go to.

Corporate entities are inherently evil.

Christians pray to much to Jesus and ignore God in the process.

I will not cut my fucking hair.

I will not pray when told to or to whom I am told to.

I will not take prescription medication for depression. I am terrified for all the right reasons.

I know that we are killing ourselves as a species. This is encouraged by greedy corporate entities.

Money is addictive. You should constantly monitor your dosage.

I refuse to smile on command. Or when I don’t want to.

I recognize news and media for what it is (Programming and brainwashing).

I refuse to burn any book, any art, or any form of music for any reason.

I refuse to trust or believe any televangelist, and most preachers for that matter.

I refuse to feel bad for not conforming.

Pushy people better push someone else if they know what’s good for them.

People with plastic/fake smiles deserved to be punched until they can’t do it anymore.

Radical militant Christians are evil and are instruments of their own Satan.

God helps those who help themselves. Not those who refuse to use their brains or refuse to do anything for themselves. Prayer is a last resort, and a comfort, not a crutch.

Homeless people are just as pitiful in America as they are in third world countries. Why not try helping a neighbor or a war vet in need.

The amount of money that is wasted by corporate entities on stupid stuff is horrible. It should be used to make the community better. TV’s on gas pumps are not necessary.
