the folly of a government in its rigid STONE WALLS with laws merely TATTOOED on it.
i ask the politician where all the poor went
and he told me to ask again when the election rolls by in the morrows.

his nature as FAKE as his hair, flailing helplessly in the wind.
the salt and pepper color he uses to spice up his image
salt is NOT a spice and it tends to makes things SHRIVEL and die.

i can see why he chose such a color scheme.
because among the pepper, with authenticity in its onsetting taste enhancements
lies the salt that can damage the liver and arteries.
but this time it's the mind and spirit.
sprinkle your FALSE SPICES and lies elsewhere black-coat.

work your away around the law to buy that fancy new fur coat you've been eyeing
it will only cost you 3 orphans, one WHITE, one BLACK, and one BROWN.
the exact pattern you wanted.
throw in a dead yellow elderly and SPEND A NIGHT ON THE TOWN.

convenient the laws when they help STUFF your pockets.
why use the taxes for the school with only enough books for half the class?
we can use the other half for labor.
not EVERYONE can be an astronaut, you know.

so what if you think you're making a DIFFERENCE?!
by the time all of you are done TALKING about DOING
those people would have already grown dead or grown away.
so take your time, it doesn't really matter in the end.
too little too late and not enough to instigate.

and those kids of yours, the ones still in high school.
so perfect, so meek, so busy playing smear the geek.
at least if you paid attention you can use them for health care,
after all, they're each all walking pharmacies.

you know you have a problem when their spanish is gooder than their american
turn the blind side to the apple of your eye and sigh.
you can kiss the baby and shake the hands, but a hug is out of bounds?

so simple to fix, so easy to see.
waste less time talking and more looking and doing.
not a time to deliberate to liberate the huddled masses of illiterate because you felt
they should not be "left behind."

set the standards higher and reach for it.
feel your arm stretch and fingers flex.
now imaging reaching since you've been born
and how tired that arm would be by now.
