FOR EDWARD SNOWDEN (MAN OF THE YEAR, 2013)

Who knew that NATIONAL SECURITY
Was Prez Obama’s  holy grail
Till Edward Snowden made a surety,
That all the lies would surely fail?
For this he was judged disciplinable,
A whistleblower who was skinnable,
And all because he rushed headlong
And leaked the news of what was wrong.
It gave elites a coronary
(As well a boost to Bill Maher’s show,
The comic king of right to know.)
And for all of his extraordinary
Courage in stirring up debate
He’s shipped to Putin by air freight.

DO I BELIEVE IN ANCIENT ALIENS ?

Do I believe in ancient aliens,
As they’re portrayed on History Two?
As much as I believe Pygmalion’s
Stone headed wife could think it through.
If some could show true causation
Beween ETs’ civilization
 And ours, why use cable TV
To act as hucksters for ET?
Is it because this bunch of losers
Believe all the world's mal de mer
Is no more than a country fair
Performed for redneck southern boozers?
Or is it money that they love
Or just BS from up above?

THE QUEST


In every age we start on journeys
To find out whom we think we are;
And longing for a life of tourneys,
We falter after just so far.
But after all these youthful questings
In search of right, we come to restings
And when we’re full of war and peace
And have not found our Golden Fleece,
Or what has been our longed for idol,
We vow that we will no more roam
And settle in a model home.
And so are punished with a bridle:
We settle for a life of doubt
And give up what we used to shout.

THE PRESIDENT, CONGRESS, AND PROSTITUTION


“Unlike for civilian U.S. government employees, soliciting prostitutes is a criminal offense for U.S. military personnel even in countries where prostitution is otherwise legal.” Huffington Post 4/26/2012

It’s good to know that prostitution,
No matter legalized or not,
Will denigrate the Constitution
Whereas a war won’t leave a blot
Upon the US military
So long as authorized by Barry
To give the grunts this role to play.
And Congress has nothing to say.              
Although it’s not a degradation
To kill a man in any war,
It’s treasonous to buy a whore.
What makes for so much aggravation
Is that when soldiers point and shoot
Is that there dicks don’t follow suit.

TEXAS CREATIONIST INTERVIEW

“I don’t think God used evolution
When He first made the universe;
I have this on the attribution
From Sunday school and Bible verse.
That’s how I know what God was thinking.”
“It’s possible you’re just lipsyncing
What when a kid they said was true
And laced it with some barbeque?”
“When I absorbed creationism,
It’s true I was a little lad
But had the brains I’ve always had.
It’s why I know gradationism
For complex life forms such as man
Cannot be made without a plan.”

FROM OCCUPY TO BARRY O

If economics is enshrouding
Obama’s shot for Prez again,
He should have listened to our shouting
And not decided to take ten;
And given up on our egality,
As if it were a triviality,
We, after all, were his best base
To win the presidential race.
But what he did was almost comical:
By bailing out the Wall Street banks
He saved their asses, lost their thanks.
Now Romney’s set to go atomical.
And bury Barry in a shroud
Might be a one-term mushroom cloud.

FOR LENIN

Who claims that Lenin’s conjugation
On revolution’s plainly wrong
Should study him with contemplation
And get their head out of their bong.
There hasn’t been a steely teacher
Of revolution since this preacher:
A man who changed the whole damned world
And opened up the red flag furled.
A product of his time and placing
Some things went wrong and some went right
And capital is still our plight.
Who’d advocate we go erasing
His heritage will surely lose
The time he spent. He paid our dues.
