Ignorant Rhetoric

ignorance overpopulates
tunnel vision overtakes
civil rights and liberties
from everyone except the elite
bull shit rhetoric propagates
their agenda to instigate
fear amongst the masses
wiping out the middle classes
preaching "less government"
swallowed entirely by the ignorant
followed up by "no more taxes"
but I don't use rose colored glasses
I see liars talking out their asses
tea-bagger congress shows crassness
blocking bills the people hope passes
don't take offense, I'm only being helpful
as I remove your rose colored spectacles
pay attention to what I tell you
unlike "them" I will tell the truth
their definition of "less government"
is nothing like any of you interpret
what follows is the actual definition
more accurately it's "no regulations"
but only for their corporations
the ones that destroyed our nation
none too big to have their hands out
asking our government for a bail out
first were Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae
they foreclosed on home loans anyway
unemployment rises because of greed
corporations sending jobs over seas
obese defense could miss some meals
sorry grandma, no "meals on wheels"
now to define "no more taxes"
for those still wearing their glasses
survival of the fittest or the richest?
they remove programs designed to invest
in a chance for everyone's success
if the top five percent awoke like the rest
no job, no help and completely hopeless
then we would truly see who's the fittest
they'd feel the pain of having to say
"sorry, child, I can't give you a birthday"
if we had the programs that were taken away
we'd experience more pleasure than pain
