agitprop

I am
  a
 true
 blue
yankee

die-hard
red sox 
fan so
please
forgive
my 
ignorant
tongue it 
knows
not
what
it
does
and
i
am
fine
with 
that
its I
just
want
you
to
know
now
I  
 can
     move on

I once asked
if scooby doo
knew how to
transform 
into a 
gi joe
now I 
know
I should
have
asked
perhaps
if him
and those
medeling-kids
could pull the
mask off the 
conductor of
this rail-car
we are all in
headed stright
to a place we
aint coming 
back from  &
I want to know
who is driving 


so
lets
go
diego
go

reach
into
that
backpack
 backpack
  backpack
and pull-out
a map showing
us the hell we
are headed for
  Its No WonderPets
 there are millons
 of animals in 
 trouble
 and there
 just isn't
 engough
 flying
 turtles
 to save
 the ones
 dying off
 our Gulf 
 Shores
  I know cause
Dora just got back 
from a three week
expedition & after
she briefs our
commander and chief
he will summons
press to the rose
garden in an attempt 
to raise stock prices
forcing the focus off 
unemployment but even
the great
inspector
clouseau
can see clearly
that there aint 
no employment


so wouldn't
it be cool
if everyone
reached out to
a representative
of our elected
government
and with a
firm hand shake
slap the bastard
across the face
get charged with
assault & battery 
spend some time in
jail knowing that
you held someone
accountable for
all the tom-foolery 
that goes on in DC
are you
still
with me

  1. most folks think their OWN congressperson or senator is doing a fine job and so maybe instead of changing the players we simply change the game

  2. any change, as long as it falls in the "for better" column. would work for me.
