i was complaining to aunt bea about how the new president seems to be more concerned about hearing his name in the press than doing anything of merit that would cause one to actually mention his name aunt bea said perhaps we can take a lesson from history and start referring to him as he with the unmentionable name maybe that will get the focus on national issues instead of ego
these trinkets
offered
along the street of life
by politicians
are yours
for
the exceptionally
low price
of
your soul
just
give up your
concern for others
and
have a new highway
or
even better yet
more overpaid
government jobs
for
friends
and
for
yourself
just
trade-in
that old belief
in humanitarianism
and get
a new
and improved
egocentric life
to hell
with healthcare
for the poor
when greed is standing
at your door
as well
as voters’
votes
let’s cut your taxes
and weave
an outdoor mud room rug
from the souls crushed
by your selfishness
and
today
it’s
almost
free
