Amazing Disgrace
By Kiler Davenport
B roken, stripped, ravaged, enraged
We stand at th e end of th e line
Waiting for th e crum bs of corporate greed
To fall down upon us
LOOKING FOR AN
Sold ou t to th e m an, th e m achine
T he ruling class faceless m o n ster
W ith arm s th a t reach around th e globe
D evouring, subjugating, raping th e land
And all th a t stan d s upon it
I to rent ?
Your online housin
M asters of control
just
got
easier.

D em ons of d eceit
Wolves in sh e e p ’s clothing
T hey com e to destroy th e independent man
W ith no soul and no body to im prison
T hey com e like dense fog on a cold rainy night
T hey com e w ithout regard for life o r limb
T hey com e to own th e very air we b reath e
O ur com m on lands bought and paid for
In blood, sw eat, tears, pain, and death
Includes s
Call 2-1-1
T hey have in terco u rse w ith devils
To own and control th e very strand of life
Of every species of th e planet
T hey have th e pow er to buy and sell th e rain
To own th e w ater th a t lays upon th e ground
B eneath our feet
Like slithering w orm s in dark, dingy, deep m ud
We th e wage e a rn e r
Blind, ignorant, and hungry for m ore
We bow down and w orship th e m achine
Like crazed anim als in som e cage of ecstasy and orgy
We feed at th e trough of disgust
O ur bodies ru n cold w ith th e se m indless m anifestations
Synthetic sluts we have becom e
Pill-crazed consum ing m aggots
Left to die and ro t w ith th e afterm ath
Of th is m assive gangbang
D uped into believing we are free
C ontent w ith our stipend
T errified at th o u g h t of revolt
We walk blindly into th e light of darkness
We squirm and quiver in our com fort zones
We have subm itted ourselves to th e se false gods
<
T h ese ruling class pim ps
We are w hores ready and waiting
To be com pletely consum ed and controlled
Who will com e after us
W hat will they say of th e se unspeakable perversions?
T h e p ro p h et speaks
T he black h o rse has arrived
T he a rtist cries out
T h e poet m ourns
T h e ground is getting closer
We are in free fall
P rep are to die
I hope on your feet fighting
And not on your kn ees in subm ission
Street Roots, Right 2 Survive and Sisters Of The Road invite you
to join us in a national day of action to stand up against the
ongoing criminalization of people experiencing homelessness and
poverty!
2- 3 pm Leafleting the Public
Meet us at the corner of SW 6th & Morrison
3- 4 pm Rally in the Square for our rights!
This is also the day that the fines being leveraged against Right 2 Dream Too
double. Stand with the Dreamers at 4th & Burnside who are working to keep people
safe and dry!
“No Fooling Day” will also serve as the Western Regional Advocacy Project’s launch
date for a national campaign to protect the basic civil and human rights of people
without housing and to ultimately stop the inhumane and wasteful process of
criminalization. Over 14 cities will have simultaneous action to bring people together
to say we must change how we treat those in our communities who have nowhere
to go.
