I Abstain

Jesse Pintado / Mark Barney Greenway

I abstain!

Summon my pride?
What? Pride behind your blinkered eyes?
Your vigilance is shit
The lads together - you fall!

Smug complacency
Notions of reserving the right to think with your fists
I abstain from this mundane apathy

Commited to All for red, white and blue
In effect you're fighting for what's really fighting you

Grit those teeth, push out those chests
Tears only for the flag
Always the brave patriot as you slip to second class

But you stand stead fast?

People are not subjects
Why should the few get more respect?
Open your eyes!

Imperialism feeds off you
Not patrons but patronised
Open your eyes!

They're shaping you - you're trapped with pomp and
Circumstance
Lose your discretion
Sodom, you'll not fall from grace
Endorse their rhetoric
You fade, they prosper

I abstain!
Don't be a colonial slave
Don't substantiate the act
