‘Anarchist jurisdiction’ State of Mind…

Some thugs like to · Issue 8 · Winter 2020–2021

Lie all day—

strip our rights away,

make The People pay,

Chanting, “U-S-A…!”

Hopping flights of fantasy

for the greedy bourgeoisie

And the confederacy—

But we’re taking an

Anti-fascist stand:

‘Cause we’re in an

‘Anarchist jurisdiction’

State of Mind…

It seems so easy

Lying day to day—

stripping our rights away,

making The People pay,

Chanting, “U-S-A…!”

Out of touch with the

Peoples’ pain and need—

Protecting all crimes

of billionaire greed—

But we’re taking an

Anti-fascist stand:

‘Cause we’re in an

‘Anarchist jurisdiction’

State of Mind…

We’ve seen enough of

all the nazi stars,

all the lawless czars

And the cult of death

of a bungling Bleach Regime—

Mengele Medicine Team—

We can’t afford to waste more

Time—before we ORGANIZE—

Figuring out how we will rise

to Make the Rich Pay!

Poet’s note: Inspired by the great Billy Joel’s “New York State of Mind”
