By: Cedric McClester The ruling oligarchy Says it’s middle-class malarkey To suggest they differ starkly When it comes to the poor Whom the rich try to ignore Cos the haves now want more Than they ever did before The strong vanquish the weak As the oil prices tweak To the stratosphere they seek And the profits are obscene As they pick our pockets clean That’s why most of us are hurtin Not the case with Haliburton Bush is a disgrace But he does support his base They’re the rich – in any case We have challenges to face And we are gettin queasier Cos it’s not getting easier Now we hear The Green House gases Threatens all our ***** But the legislation passes That deregulates the gases Which pollutes the atmosphere That’s why global warming’s here Bush is a disgrace But he does support his base They’re the rich – in any case We have challenges to face And we are gettin queasier Cos it’s not getting easier The ruling oligarchy Says it’s middle-class malarkey To suggest they differ starkly When it comes to the poor Whom the rich try to ignore Cos the haves now want more Than they ever did before (c) Copyright 2015, Cedric McClester.
