a test:
a squinting smiling blue tie devil
or
a talking head in a red dress

telling us
to be impressed
we’re not broke, we’re blessed
fortunate, not fortuneless
anywhere we are
we are a welcome guest
we arent repressed
we arent oppressed
we arent depressed
we sure as **** arent stressed
the ****** machine is at rest
when its really working at its best
how dare we stand and protest
though there be a target on our chest
liberty and justice for all
save those we detest

you may think this a jest
but do second guess

the amiable, the iritable,
the inflexible, the concedable,
we the people in recess

we made this mess

so i’ve one simple request:
progress
or be a whole lot less
