Low Expectations as the World Awakens by Joseph J. García

Time to live beyond the limits of what is expected
Time to go beyond the mental barriers erected
Detach yourself from the limited vision
Decisions decisions, Oh, theres never time time to remonstrate
Forget about Hollywood’s romantic love and the Amerikan family life
The picket fence only denigrates leading to internal strife
The ability to think beyond the Amerikan dream
Are but like reems and reems of printed laws that only scream
But contain flaws in the human cause, that lead national liberations

Now is but the fermentation
Of too much drug induced castration
Take a longer stroll to an adventurous fate?
Escape the future, escape the past
Work beyond the standard Amerikan mad dash
Too much time spent on the bottom less pit of the 401k
When health insurance, retirement, social security
Are programmed to secure their pilfering ways
Greasing walls streets thugs
Heeps of pandering manure never taint
Madoffs’ scapegoating mates
Believe there are no chances to take
Yes, no chances for the billionaire few
But, the vacuums vortex
Is what’s at hand

The “Global Political Awakening” is making demands
Players, outside the World Cup stands
Kick tear gas canisters for future goals
The Cup but provides momentary spoils
As the Awakening releases our collective souls
Yet as we in states live by our low expectations
The world resounds by the growing reveberations
As final match brings forth the storms of consternation
