Serj Tankian (Very Political)

So I bought Serj's Cd like two years ago and I always go to read the poems included with it and I only just thought to share them with all of you so here are some of the poems written by one of my favorite lyricists.

P.S.
Serj is very political if you disagree with his political views it is ok we all see the same stick from different angles so no one knows exactly what it looks like.

Here are only a few of my favorites

Borders
Borders are the gallows of our collective national egos.
Subjective lines in the sand, water and air are separating plants, animals, and atmosphere.
Fear! Fear is the cause of separation for this imposed illusion, this cordoned off space from pre-birth.
When we run out of borders, we reach infinity and unity.
As for flags, they're much less useful than toilet paper.
No one has been caused distress by running out of flags.
They become useful in times of crisis and unjust manipulative coercions pitting the victim against the victor or vice-versa.
Neoliberal globalism is failing due to its underlying imperial ambitions and the discoveries of those sinister ulterior motives.
So the ambitions have reawakened for "democracy promotion," in the past few years.
In real terms, that means promoting democracy if and only if it serves imperial ambitions.
How about we create a real democracy right here and now!
Let's allow the people to vote for or against a pre-emptive war, universal healthcare, expansion of social security, the Kyoto
Protocol, the International Criminal and World Courts, and the role of the United Nations in interventions and reconstruction of
devastated lands. Let's vote for how we want our taxes to be spent, directly.
Major referendums discussed and debated thoroughly representing all sides of each issue on television.
All empires represent the aristocracy in their imperial ambitions, not the general populace!
Also in dire need is a true democracy of nations.
The UN Security Council should be dissolved and the General Assembly should rule all international affairs, allowing all nations equal
access to the international forum and law.
Given the truth, all human beings will collectively choose the direction of this lost, possibly last civilization.

Time
The demographics of uncontrollable light beams
Racing through organic tunnels
Recorded for a thorough census
By insecure scientists and other eager cheerleaders,
Of strategic insignificance, lie.
The monkey suits filled by men
Unsure of their destiny, let alone their density
Pronounce them invariably conductive to absolute nonsense.
Their faces are tight convex television screens
Glaring through oblivion,
Ruled by gray static.
Cave drawings on men's heads,
Carved on skulls on cigar boxes,
Stacks of books leading up to a leaflet
Entitled "Slavery",
Brought to you by Christianity.
All of the pictures show the same,
A recognizable image
with an indescribable background,
Time.

Well thats it for now
If you do disagree with something and want to
yell at me for some reason or another please at least
do so in PM's and then we will settle it peacefully
and out of the public eye thank you Hopefully some
enjoy it as much as I do
