Resolution 2012
Its been a sad state of affairs
the government run by aged tycoons
from an era before the internet
Republican’s play a game of dominos with healthcare
and pin the economy on Obama
like a crack head caught by the cops
does his best friend over
Bush and Cheney muckle and yuckle like the Three Stooges,
building a house with overall’s and bibs
the citizens of the US just fight against each other
they buy into the system
like a shopper does Christmas
they fight about healthcare, taxes, debt, insurance,
welfare and a sense of entitlement
welfare is not an adjective
look it up in the dictionary
…and these politics make enemies
it stamps our souls, marks our beast
sets a date for our destruction
… we no longer care, to busy stuffing our faces with Stouffers, Butterball, McDonalds, Burger King, Taco Bell, Jenny Craig, Hot Pockets, Frido Lays, Pepsi, Coke, Nike, Reebok, Chevy, Toyota, Ford, the battle lingers on. Television turned on neutral channel, it calms us. Like a calf waiting for slaughter.
… and we buy our art at Kmart, Walmart and Target, pre framed, no longer caring about the human hand that makes things.
2012 may be more of the same,
my resolutions is for more humanity.
