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.
