The paradox of theft

Three people are sitting at a table a CEO, a tea party member, and a union man

the CEO grabs the box full of doughnuts from the center of the table and walks away

the union man looks at the tea partier and says

" If we still had collective bargaining we could have at least kept a doughnut"

and the tea partier says " At least we've got our Freedom"

Saint Ronnie

is there beauty in ignorance

and is it benign

this notion of bliss

just ensures one is blind

and thus easy prey

open wide for abuse

the jackals are ravenous

their needs are profuse

as the rich get richer

the more we must bleed

it's an easy equation

the mathematics of greed

brought to us by Ronnie

the saintly Trojan horse

a conservative icon

who plotted this course

now we're left ravaged

depleted, supine

the right wing agenda

it's all by design

and as we all falter

teetering on the brink

we're taking on water

this nation might sink

do we remedy problems

with solutions well sought

no we reelect culprits

who've been soundly bought

The Supreme Court

The White House

Congress's hallowed halls

all of these compromised

they've got us by the balls!
