..."the love is unconditional, Even when the condition is critical, when the livin is miserable Your position is pivotal"

Dear Christmas time,

your rampant consumerism, and hyped-up nostalgia about love and family really is terrorizing me. my ideology of a holiday does not have to be based on more stuff, big families and over-zealous dinners, its based on the agency I possess and the possibility that exists within me.

So Christmas time, I'm refusing to partake in this overly nostalgic and capitalist holiday! screw you and your presents wrapped in ancient forest, screw you and your love, and fuck you and your privlidge! You make trying to get by without a home, without a dinner, and without a love that much harder.

"Work 'til we break our back and you hear the crack of the bone
To get by.. just to get by
Just to get by, just to get by
We commute to computers
Spirits stay mute while you eagles spread rumors
We survivalists, turned to consumers
To get by.. just to get by
Just to get by, just to get by
Ask Him why some people got to live in a trailer, cuss like a sailor
I paint a picture with the pen like Norman Mailer
Me Abuela raised three daughters all by herself, with no help
I think about a struggle and I find the strength in myself" ...

  1. when, the people decide, to keep a disguise
    can't see they eyes, see the evil inside
    but there's people you find
    strong or feeble in mind, i stay readin the signs...
    yoyoyo, yo
