they parted the waters and grew The Big Easy
\nin hurricane alley the poor consigned to lowland
\nlands so low feet below sea level
\nhow many years of warnings of the levies failing
\nhow much money trickled down not enough
\nturn around don’t drown<\/p>\n
happy birthday Trent Lott
\ncoming October 9th
\n64 i make it
\n16 years in the House
\nin your 16th year in the Senate
\nKatrina and it’s aftermath is firmly in your hands
\nthe whole world is now watching every dollar
\nsnatched from the compassionate American heart
\nhow soon can we hear
\n“I will not run again?”<\/p>\n
What happens when minus C boy gets Peter Principled
\nand Peter Principles the head boy of FEMA
\nWho the billionaires who dangle the strings
\nof the millionaire polecat politicians.<\/p>\n
The Buck is not a fast track to the top
\nit is a local, stops for every point of abused power,
\nonly ending at the West Wing.<\/p>\n
The Sun doesn’t smile on your Ol’ Miss home Mr. Lott
\nand from the Gulf of Mexico oil
\nthose who gained the most the most is expected
\nsmiles come after the rain
\nand dues are paid.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
