#slackers
How many are there? I doubt anyone is aware At least half the population; A fact that should really scare And yet decades go by And they still don’t awaken And now our trust in them Is powerfully and fatally shaken. It’s the Narcissistic Generation And it could mean the death Of freedom and democracy With one last dying breath Because like most committees The members are the kind of jerks Who want all the goodies But will not ever do the work. We have a country of slackers Who were raised to be spoiled fools Who want all the structure made But will not pick up one tool. So if this country falls apart And becomes a dream of history For me and people like myself It will be no amazing mystery. The USA will falter silently And maybe fall over and die And none of the people responsible Will admit they’re the reason why. It will not be done by foreigners The way warmongers always cried. Instead it will be by malingerers; Self-inflicted by the dunces inside.

STUPID PEOPLE
Once I loved my country Was filled up with pride That was before my country Suddenly fell over and died. It didn’t die spontaneously, My country was assassinated. Murdered by people who Lied, cheated and hated. The accomplices were folks Who stayed home and blamed And insisted that both parties Were essentially the same. Those people refused to verify What was fact from propaganda. Now half the citizens are facing A destructive national agenda. There were thousands of jokes About the unqualified guy who won. Some were funny, made us laugh, But what happened was not fun. The person who was trained lost. Now we have a bigot and a racist Who is eyeing the Constution And badly wants to replace it. The people on both sides now Have no idea what is coming. They thought they elected a good guy But he’s a rich kid who was slumming. They thought he would help to bring A national hoped-for change. They will be shocked to death To discover that man is so strange. For him it’s about the ass-kissers He keeps as his personal posse. Be prepared, this next four years Will be anything but glossy. We will witness blood and death And a crash of our economy Because Trump and his cohorts Believe in nothing but autonomy.
