THE LOGICAL IMPLICATION OF "CITIZENS UNITED" v. FEDERAL ELECTION COMMISSION

The Court has ruled that corporations
Have free speech, as do you and I;
So freely spend on commendations
For politicians who’ll comply
With helping them to turn a profit.
But I object. I won’t lay-off it.
We’ve proof that they produced hard times.
Let them be punished for their crimes.
You’re damn right I am disaffected.
But let’s assume they’re persons who
In justice should receive their due.
Indict them where they’ll be corrected...
No. Not in U.S. courts. A plague
On them. We’ll try them at The Hague.

FOR ALAN GEWIRTH

“Degrees of needfulness for action”
Is fought against and been deplored
By those who would resist subtraction
Of monies that they want to hoard.
They balk because this correlation
They think will raze them by taxation;
And so they leave no stone unturned
Protecting what they never earned:
They argue that it’s criminality
That they be forced to manumit
Or even add a little bit
To helping out the commonality
Who raised them to their present worth
Now left with wanting even dearth.
