Absent Minded

Providing a free service

I'm not going to complain
like some big baby bottl bragging bimbo
of fantastic fatalistic fantasia financial fame
but because buttons become blatantly brutal
i think i deserve apiece of the internet pie

sure i have a small amount of readers
and sure the advertisers only pay you soo much
but when i subscribe to something
and it turns out to be work
to have my voice heard
to be influential
a nuisance
abruise
a damaged poet
an oxymoron
a brilliant disaster
an inaginative master

if you ask me
if you dont add anything to the net
pay up and let those who supply your demand of entertaint
in any way shape or form be paid

so now im providing a free service for
some cash crop to hog all the glory
well i'm sorry
im not madonna or britney
or green day
or Avril lavigne
but let me tell you this
im not going to demand i get paid for everyone who stops to gander and look and learn and read
to be disgusted
amazed
priveledged
touched
ashamed of themselves
to read suchh a brilliant brutal backstab bogus blinded bit of binding

maybe telus and shaw
and aol and whatever internet company should be paying me
for the stuff i put on the net
oh i work for free do i
i'm just your worker bee my queen?
lifes not fair as you make another billion off of the humanity and freedom of the facade you place before me

well buy my book you cnat afford to read
so here it is on the net
free for you to see
free for you to read
free for your enjoyment
free for all
to inspire
to admire
to retalliate to enjoy to rip me off to plagreise to be sued to walk in my shoes to see this revelation
that the internet is a major crime scen of dishonesty
and i'm asking what rights do i have
when im working for free
to entertain you
what do i get in return?

no comments but hate mail
no thanks for the inspiration but what an ugly picture
no way to be for keeping the vibe of what the internet used to be
way to promote the old days
of what it was supposed to be

but i will turn on you
when you come and know my name
when i gather fans and fame
when i am heard and known
when i sell you the truth you can no longer swallow
and you choke on my designer brainwash
and think you're going insane
i'll say buy my book
sucker
pay the tithe of what youve just seen
the bill's in the mail
because im suing you all
for taking advantage of me

maybe im not shakespeare
maybe im not vangoh
maybe im not history in the making but if you ask me
i want my damn reward for everything ive done for nothing

you make how much off of this
you recieve how much money from us and your advertisers
and you want us to work harder and critique our way to the best
and then you want to cash in some more
well let me say this
from now on
im not even going to spell check
not until you send me some money honey
\not until i get the piece of the pie im huingry to eat

im not humble
im starving
living under an oppression worse than yours
and you have a house bopat
ten necklaces
three houses six cars
and you keep me under this way
when i could be getting paid for the fame and mans plan
and mans miracle of the conspiracy of the souls
as i rant and rave about greedy people going to hell

PROVIDING A FREE SERVICE
just keep reading
make me bigger than the rest
read every single page and then write the greedy bastards i slave for
a letter saying i deserve respect
i should be rewarded like Tracy  chapman
I should be bathed in rose petals like Moulon ROuge
I should have read the fine print
but whens the court case
and guess what i'll never be there unless one of you buys me the ticket

history in the making
and this is an exhibit
read it page by page
discover
the petition
and gossip and see who ive inspired
whos ive taught metaphors and illiteration to
and who speaks words of conspiracies and lies
i earned my piece of your pie
and you eat three meals a day
i'm lucky when the month is over
if i dont have to panhandle
to keep my power on
but this is my priveledfge to be treated this way

Oh sure,
let me pave the road for you
and click my heels
saying theres no place like home
showe me in the exhibit of the city whose not yet on your map
who will be in the pages of your history book
and a part of mans plan
you place ina time capsule
to meet my little demands

pinnochio pines pricelessly pressured poorly by peers
which way were we walking with witch hunters alice
woah weird
days done differently, doctored dialect doesnt do damage do little
but here a little clue for you
under cover and something im subconciously alluding to

FREE FREE FREE
how many times have I TOLD YOU
NOTHING!
I mean nothing in this world is free
I dont have to pay you
but if you ask me
you should be paying me
Shaw and TElus and Ibm and bill gates
and evryone who disagrees
fine ill go pick up my welfare check when writing for the internet could have been my dream.....
stupid STUPID STUPID ME

it doesnt work like that
you just sit here to be discovered as they rip you off and make money off of you
gods will is this
and the rest of the rich and famous laugh because they get paid royalties
from radio stations
the internet
the politicicans
the commercials who use their material
but you feel priveldged when they steal from you!

I WANT THIS TO BE FAIR
or the virus will hit
hackers unite
you too have a purpose
november 21st
i want a happy birthday in two years
E- day we'll call it
and really who cares?
I want this to be fair
a price im owed a proce the others should be paid
my freedom of speach and equlity and the new brigade I'm on
is history in the making
2008
a cold winter's day
just close to x miss
but whose gonna be wished away?

Free ride
well lets raise the price of gas
either you start promoting me in a bigger way
or the writers will get writers block
and write like hacks
and no one will advertise here
so whats it worth to you?
the internet holly wood
my dream come true
the hackers just need a reason to end the internet they are disgusted with
dont tell me they do it out of perpetual nothing
they smell it they taste it theyve been a victim of this

Times are changing
the depression of the new age is uponus
instead of going off to some stupid war for oil
why wont the internet just pay those who provide entertainment for the others who enjoy it?


because greed
and the greedy people are going to hell
psychological torments im fishing
watching your big brother gameshow
right in front of your eyes
and the music industry knows my life in and out
cant you tell?

so where do we start
where do we begin
tomorrow is too late for this momentum to begin...
im not going to write to you
but let it snow ball and reach the
date
marty as many as this piece will so you can see just what it takes
poetry does this
and im capable of doing much better
but since this is a waste of my effort and worthless
i hope history enjoys this
as you dont inspire me to be any better
as i lay on dirty sheets i cant afford to wash
drink syrup when i sleep walk dreaming of pancakes
i wont eat until next month
and all i have in my fridege is an orange
and think im driving the mouse that haunts me crazy

the change starts today as the metaphors im dreaming of candles and magic
and sphere of influenc
wont hesitate

Providing a free service
i could just quit
i could just wqalk away
not like ive been noticed but youve martyred me already
sure my cult leader
i've learned alife lesson here
ive spent time dreaming opf what i would do
if i had the power to change a piece of the world
or the world piece by piece
so read this novel
and then click onto the next page
you might be surprised
to find
inside and outside im not sayong anything
but said everything youve never heard before
im pulling you out from within
im teasing you from without
in hindering you like a scapegoat
and the problems of your karma will be an example of what is to come


The free ride your on is crashing tumbling down
im not in vegas
and im not placing any bets
if this was appealed before a judge and a jury of bleeding hearts
i am sure you would win
and i would be back to the beginning
of writing on here about blind leading the blind
and how stupid everyone really is in their own deluded opinions
but this is exhibit A and ive just given them an opinion
so shine now
stay calm
say you want me to win this case
and lets go after the rest of hyperspace
and make it better more real the end to welfare for poets and creative minds
the end starving authors
and a safge place for those who can afford entertainment to play

and with your high costing advertising
and the highcost of the internet
they can afford to pay me a salary to write my heart out and inspire
the world toward world peace and global amnesty
but until then
may the threefold of withcraft and pagans and third eyes
and selfish deceit of everything you are and have done in all of your lives haunt you and every greedy millionaire with their fancy crap
who doesnt do a thing

you want to know more about psychology and reverse psychology
go visit the mental institute
you want to know more about life being unfair
try walking in my pair of shoes,
\not like i can afford another pair
you want to knopw more about anything
dont go to the internbet unless ytou have a mastercard
cause all they do is say hey buy my stuff
but once upon a time you could go online
and learn a thing or two
and when i was in school thats what i did
and since things have changed and i'm providing a service
for your market
im employed by you
im your slave of desire
and you do nothing for me
you dont hand out awards
or reach out to publishers to find and discover me
you dont hold any sway to talent agencies to find the gifted
you do nothing
so why am i here
i am here to make a rucuss
spread my influence
and lead your chaotic confused nations away from one another
seperate you into four corners
and represent
a reality that can play paintball tournaments
to decide who acts out what chapter of the next lesson of the dream of the toothfairy the easter bunny and santa clause
instead of this satanic crap the media is selling me


and im not doing that for free
