This post is an artist and residence moment, written by my sis!

i.v.

they've stuck in the i.v.
known as the media on TV
and see the force feeding
breeding ignorance and
unbelievable stupidity

cause we are trained
to accept whatever they put
in our veins and brains
because thinking for ourselves
has become a big ol' shame

so sit back, relax
enjoy the show because all the lies
they've devised most
will never know

and ignorance is bliss
though we should really be pissed
because we've become latent
complacent and generally amiss

Questions lead to understanding
which in turn leads to
truth
and these are the lessons
we should be teaching our
youth

so pull out the i.v.
throw away the TV
crack open a book
and take a good honest look
at the shores of this nations controlled education
consider contemplation
and
feed yourself
honestly
culturally
politically
whatever way you can
cause knowledge is the only way
to gain the upper hand

not many can think on the brink of insanity
so pull on the reigns
of this calamity

cause we are all quite capable
of breaking something deemed
unbreakable

so take a stand
grab a hand
and jump right in the sea
and see the potentialof what we all can be
if we just get up
and take out
the i.v.
