This is not a poem about love for a whore
or a woman I met the night before
or concerns the sexy girl next door
---------------------
This is about democracy
or autocracy
or theocracy
-------------------
No media coverage of poverty plaguing the nation
or corporate greed in every situation
or corrupt clergy selling salvation
------------------
There is an overburdened health care
No politician could dare
face the lobbyist attempting to gut medicare
---------------------------------
Balancing the budget on the back of the poor
Not closing tax evasion back door
Helping companies to send jobs offshore
----------------------------------
Outspending the whole world on defense
Does that even make sense?
The military is always on the offense
-------------------------------
First Halt corporate teat
Bailing out fat cats on wall street
While many families have junk food to eat
-------------------------------
Next election people will get out & vote
People will remember and take a note
about politicians who sunk this boat
