ROTATING, ENDLESSLY

 

The insatiable enormous ego

The American politician

Instantly converting disaster to heroics

Having saved democracy

Their sacred halls of Congress

From desecration by the mob

Carrying the same flag

As flies in the courtyard

         These seditionists should be jailed

         Say the badges and pols

         So say the pontificators and the faces

         That so obligingly nod

         At each point that concludes

         That their side is righteous and true

         Simply fighting oppression

         And self-interest of the rich

Always the rich

Some dinosaur, dead on the beach

The rich . . . who are they?

The shareholders, of course

And who are they?

Why it is us of course.

Eating our young

Consuming dividends

Accruing capital growth

Soon to pass on

         To Our Youngsters

         What has not been spent

         So the world spins

         On love and torment

         Positive and negative

         Rotating, endlessly                                                      210106.3
