Tea Party, Anyone?


To some liberals
               (especially
The young ones,
                still wet
Behind the ears)
                     I ask:
Why are you so against
The Tea Party?
Can it really be
               because
Those people,
                        over
                there,
      on the far side
      of the political
Aisle - at least
As you have been led
To believe -
                      are for,
And believe in, 
                    people
Having a right
To spend their money
As they see fit,
                    not
     necessarily
     the way
     that
     the state
Wants them to?

'Oh, they are for
The rich people'
             you say?
                     Not
       necessarily.
              To say:
                per se
        at the end
Of the day.
                Actually, 
                       they
Are against crony
Capitalism;
         the same
As you, too, 
         presumably.

So, what is it
Then?  
            I think -  
        to come
   right down
              to it -
        that you
          are for
Socialism
        regardless
Of the true face
Of American-style
Capitalism
Which can be called
'Individualism
With a heart'
         because
      it is based 
           on
Religion
At its best.
What's best:
              that
Or the state
     deciding
What people do
With their own money
         and giving 
                         it
                 to you
         in the way
            of a free
Education, say;
And a guaranteed
Annual income
So that you
Can sit
On your ass
All day
If you want,
        sponging
         off
        the work
Of others.

       Hooray.
Not.

There is no
Such thing as
A free lunch.
Period.
       Get that
       through
Your head,
      and maybe
                     we
       All
       can get
       somewhere
Really, except
            around
    and around
    and around
    all over
    again
    and again
    and yet
Again
On the same level
                  as
The problem.

                 You
Are 'entitled'
        to nothing
        but
Your life.
       Spend it
       on strife
Neverending
                   if
You want;
             playing
         the game
         of Action
        creating
Its equal
And opposite
Reaction.
          It's up
To you.
              Do you
       get it
       yet?
            It's all
            up to
You
         
         and no one
Else.
           
              You
Are respons-ible
For you.
                As an
Individual
           spark
Of the Light

In Us all

         striving
To break out
Of the straight
            jacket
   of lower
Mentality
That we
Have been
Put in

  in order to
       test our
         mettle.

Good luck
In your
             test.
     The rest
      is up
To you

              alone
           against
The Powers 
That Be
              but now
              actually
Were.

          (But don't
Tell them that.
They think they're
Still in charge
Of you.
              Silly
People. 
                You
Are in charge
Of you.
         And always
Have been.
              And now
Are just waking up
                      to it
Is
All).

So; in summation:
                   the I
Is the most important
                  thing
In your life
For the purpose
Of inspiring the We
To act together
             in order
     to accomplish
The It:
             Ascension
With each other
                  since
                     We
Are All One
Anyway.
             Capiche?
