The solution to pollution Is to cease affluent effluent. In other words make the rich Live in their ecological excrement. Force them to drink only from Their permanently poisoned pipes And turn a deaf ear, as they did To any of their constituent’s gripes. The enemies of the anemones Fought their way to the deep To censure and make sure The sea creatures had no sleep. It seems the corporations Don’t realize what they’re doing. If we **** off the plankton, then We’re headed for planetary ruin. It was bad enough when someone, Without telling us, sold our land And then they chopped down trees For a reason anyone can understand; Greed. That was the proper word. They wanted more money in the bank. So when the land erodes and dies We’ll have the corporations to thank. They cover up their eco-crimes By declaring illegal military forays And pretend they are taking us back To those good old, happier days. But in between bombing villages It can always plainly be seen That we and our country are Slowly being picked totally clean. And when we object, cry out loud That something is wrong with all this; They start to call us unpatriotic, Call us who starve are the neurotics. So, don’t listen to their lying rhetoric, Instead look at what they are doing. The sonsabitches are Macbeth’s witches, And they have a lot of poison brewing.

POISONING THE WELL
The conservative element in DC Has something else as priority. It sure is not you, nor is it me. It’s a much more powerful constituency: Those who pull strings do not care Unless you are a multi-millionaire And contribute to their greedy cause Like some kind of Santa Claus. They keep on doing what they’re doing ******** who they were ******** I would explain it all if I could But sometimes words do no good. Behind all the gobbledy **** Someone is not playing by the book. Winning with lies is what they are trying To make the true facts look like lying. They keep you so confused that you You believe what they want you to, So you won’t see behind their wiles To bring their larcenous ***** to trial. Dignifying public rumors of buggery You look away from skullduggery. A few insignificant happenstances Eclipse treasonous circumstances. You ***** about gays and abortion While conservatives commit extortion And persecution in Jesus’ name. To them it’s all a ratings game. If you don’t care what people feel You lose all track of what is real. You turn into a tool for deception; A dupe of sleight-of-hand misdirection. As long as things are as they are We’ll get run over by the clown car Which is the Congress currently seated. And as long as they remain undefeated The rules will leave the deck stacked. Nobody in DC will have our backs. Why should they care about our whim When the way it is benefits them? We need one item, one bill rules Or we end up the same beaten fools. We need campaign funding to be equal Or each election becomes a sequel To what happened with Gore and Bush When backdoor politics bit us in the **** The only way change will ever come around Is to take the loopholes from these clowns.

Let’s scrabble to rouse the rabble, The massive blithering and blathering, Make protests ring above the babble And set foaming mouths lathering, When our country and its youth, Newly awakened and newly wise, Stand up and demand the truth Instead of the usual pack of lies. The rich get the wheat And we get the chaff Then the rich sit back In their palaces and laugh. What has served as intelligence Has put this country in a bind By people with no common sense. Supposed adults just voting blind Based on ideas without merit. Those with money get a pass And let the taxpayers bear it. Then the rest take it in the *** The ‘haves” drink wine And we drink water Maybe sometime soon They’ll come for your daughter. The people we have elected Saw a shaky foundation laid Have left us mostly unprotected And massive bribes were paid. The wealthy among us got a pass So now just the rich have a voice And the poor and working class Have no effective voice. The wealthy get shoes And we get bare feet. We learn to live our lives In postures of defeat. This is the age of communication; We have to look at what we are doing. We still can save our weakened nation. And maybe start some careful suing. Let’s vote out the Couriers of Hate; Hold these ******** to their vows. To stand up to their inequities We need to start right now. The rich get the wheat And we get the chaff Then the rich sit back In their palaces and laugh.

CLARION CALL
Congressmen, police and ministers All can be particularly sinister When they take it upon themselves To think of us as shoemakers elves Fairytale beings who then madly Exist only to work for them gladly; Drudges to work for them out of sight, Creatures that give in without a fight. A sense of privilege causes this. As fate is always rather hit and miss It’s not granted by common sense, More like a caprice of something dense; A dark deity that is impressed by wealth Without regard to someone’s right or health. And the scary people the malady infests Seems unaware of the evil it ingests. Limelight and spotlights are the energy That often drives their ***** perfidy. But just as often, these fools don’t care Who knows of their arts, no need to share. They while away at greed and perdition And certainly need anybody’s permission. They only live to gobble and acquire And never need anyone call them ‘sire’. The most frightful of these lustful ones Are those who ply their will with guns. They decide the good from enemies And few seem good to these entities. They only plot their murderous plans Without regard to the rights of man. If you get in their way, you are foe. That is as far as their thinking goes. For that is the point here, after all. These creatures ignore propriety’s call. And the same with society, it is true. Those needs, for them, will not do. They work sorcery behind the scenes And create acts that are truly obscene. It matters not what is wrong or right They are ever-vigilant, day and night.
