New Years Eve Mic Check

Mic Check!

I occupy because,
I am not a statistic.
I am a man, who did
Dirty work of my Country,
By taking human life
In the name of liberty & democracy.
It was wrong, and a lie,
And I pay for it every day.

I occupy because,
I will not stand by,
To watch my children and grandchildren,
Led down the same path
By the one percent elite,
And the governments they bought,
Who care not about human suffering,
Only looking to feed their greed.

I occupy because,
The movement with that name,
Was silenced and repressed,
By the Banksters and their apparatchiki,
And the governments they bought,
Who think they own the First Amendment,
But it belongs to me,
Because I Am the ninety-nine percent.

William's Whimsical Words:

You must occupy yourself before you can occupy your neighborhood, or the Earth
