sucking up futures
with slot machine wiles
pop go the weasels
with painted on smiles
our congress sold out
to big bidders in suits
we’re choking and gasping
our heads in their noose
keepers of fortunes
that we’ll never know
purveyors of privilege
and grifters of gold
Clinton, Bush, or Obama
who cares?
like Iraq’s WMD’s
they’re not really there
insurance brokers are
in bed with the Fed
drug makers and bankers
line up to give head
the middle class dying
one tax at a time
as cash cow elitists fleece
their pockets of dimes
economies reeling
weakened and frail
we’re dialing for dollars
in hegemony hell
higher gas prices
the lesson of crude
as OPEC’s fists tighten
on what’s left of the loot
the dollar is pitching
and yawing with debt
corrupt politicians
the real terrorist threats
we’re middle class citizens
in an undeclared war
upscale Americans are
the new working poor
