The Lower East Side

Long Live the Revolution

Long Live the Revolution of the Pseudo Anarchist Hippy Bohemian

Squatter Revolutionary Lower East Side In Alphabet City where God Bless America becomes God Fuck America and red white and blue becomes red and black and where the capitalist capitalize off the capitalism of the capital.

With your gentrified glorified tenements and artist coffee lounge lounges riddled with the blood of the long lost past that had the horses running through it, the pigs running round it, and the helicopters hoovering over it.  The bandshell that stood as a symbol of freedom for all long torn down, lost and forgotten.  NO POLICE STATE, NO HOUSING NO PEACE, FUCK THE CURFEW, FREE THE LAND,  free that park, that park everywhere.  Freedom and utopia a thing of the past.

So now in Alphabet City I walk down your streets conformed to the conformity of the conformed and the conformist.  Class War Class War on the poor run into the river and running to the river. 

Fight or flight, sink or swim.  Can you swim or will you die.  Your skeletons of the war torn survivors walking the streets, your ghosts and their spirits scattered abroad and the ashes of your people who ohave come and gone in the struggle, of the struggle, from the struggle and the ashes of your people some dead some alive and some who have survived to shed their blood and skin and to tell the tale and conform to this thing caled conformity.

Yeah, first it was them and then it was me.  Whose gonna be left when big brother comes. Naked I have come from my mothers womb and naked shall i return thither to the dust where I come from.  Blessed be thename of the Lord.

Long Live The Lower East Side.

C. Cubit.
