What will it take to say that’s enough When light in the pocket or the "Patriot’s" cuff
Eating or shivering seems evil a choice Wasting the words of our vanishing voice
Blaming our brothers who lean left or right The evil escapes by external incite
Lamb to the lions for pretenses sake Out walk the others with billions to bake
Boat to the beaches to brag and to boast The other’s new staple is soggy old toast
Manipulate media shaping the slut Feeding the frenzy sleepy eyes shut
Rewriting reports the science of lies Drowning our deaths in mountainous cries
Brokering borders training the scabs Globalization means all they can grab
Managing maintenance to make them look good We pay through the nose when dark in the hood
Gaunt in his glory from podium sings Touting the grace of more needful things
Delusions be damned before we go bust These men we call leaders deserve not our trust

Mr. Alley Cat -- Well, you said it all -- this follows up well to the poem posted by Simply Gold, so I'm sending it back up! Happy Independence Day.

'tis sad, isn't it. Oh for the sense of righteousness once again, where one's word meant something and honesty and integrety were not just words in the dictionary.
Excellent read.
SusanHappiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind.

Thank you all for the nice comments to my rant. It is a bit out of date, I wrote it after the blackout last year. Soon after dubya fired the head of the EPA, and rewrote the report on global warming. Back when Rummy was hawking "useable nukes".
