RE: Mother’s Day When a Virus Kept My Mother Away

WOW! I've never listened to this artist. Thanks so much for introducing her to me, and for providing the lyrics.

And uncle Tom is posing for a photo op with the oval office clan
And uncle Sam is rigging cockfights in the promised land

and it's fast becoming illegal to express disfavor with these staged acts

Conjugate liberty into libertarian
And medicate it, associate it with deregulation, privatization
We won't even know we're slaves on a corporate plantation

yes, we are taught a clear picture of what slavery looks like, so that we cannot recognize that we are slaves already. The prison population is a clearly a slave population, deservedly many thing, but we are all only one law away from being prisoners. And so, to avoid that obvious enslavement, we enslave ourselves and teach our children to do it nearly from birth. Then we let the government tell them what to think.

OK, depressing, yes. But also illuminating. She's really good.
