Microsoft eyes

It's the guys in the tool belts

Not the girls with Microsoft eyes.

It's the trucks towing lawn mowers,

Not the Wall Street sharks.

It's the Man with the Mop,

Not the man with the plan.

It's the girl with the burger,

Not the high heeled socialite.

It's the core.

It's the heart.

It's the soul.



Of America.



Not the policy makers.

Not the law givers.

Not the elected.


These are the heart, soul and core of America.

They till our fields,
They butcher our meat,
They wipe our children's asses.

These are Americans.

These are the people that stand on the corner,
Nurse beers in the bar.

These are the people,
That fight our wars.

These are the people,
That Listen to Rush.

These are the people,
That try
To make ends meet.



Once upon a time,
They dreamed of College
to be a doctor
a writer
a spaceman.

And money ran out.

and now they dream
of power
they will never have

and dream of Microsoft eyes
and dream of life
without want

as talking heads
tell them it is coming

as long as you keep
cleaning my toilet.

These are the heart, the soul and core of America.

Living on the scraps they're fed.







Waiting

Waiting

Waiting

To Awake.


And look into those Microsoft Eyes
And say it's over.

1. But Microsoft is a philanthropic, wholly good company!! Don't dis them!
:sarcasm:

Look at their business practices and below the surface of their "benevolence". Trust me. Whatever MS does; they're in it for #1 only. And it may not be obvious, or even be the work of Satan. But it will appear to be noble and good. That's how the antichrist works. You don't go around doing evil things by promoting one's self as evil...

2. It's easy to be "benevolant" when you have everything.
I'm glad they're doing what they're doing but...

When I give a down and out a dollar... I'll never miss it.

I doubt they are going to move into a middle class neighborhood to accomodate their giving binge.
