CHILD

 

The road to a national emergency

Is paved with false promises

That a government can provide

For safety, national defense, health care

Food, subsidized housing, education

Through age 21 or 31 or 41

Social Security cash payments

Medicare and mail delivery and actual Army personnel

And all the politicians and their staffs

And the budgetary authority they command

But only for 2 years

Or for so-called senator, it is six

And your president, he gets a month or two

Before half class him illegitimate

Which can be trying to the soul

Of both man, wife, children and voters

But they are of the other side

Not to be confused by color or kindness

But we hear rumors –

They vote the other way –

Their state, ugh!, such a shame

Their viewpoints, ick!, who is to blame?

            Well, beyond any wings

            Of any party or ideology

            Lies our commonality

            And any of the press

            Who sells truth for pay checks

            Should be largely ignored and obliquely condemned

            For personal abrogation –

            Leaving the soul to be rescued

            By some force of nature

            Called Karmic Retribution
