good night they stroke a bargain
\ngive us 8 good years of tax breaks
\nwe’ll give them debt unto their grandchildren
\nthink George Bush will ever want an abortion?
\nthink Chenney’s upper left lift will ever come down?
\nit’s not that Dems have not had sexual scandals
\nit’s that the Reps claimed the higher moral ground
\nas we spin to and fro
\nDems this year Reps that year
\nCorporate America continues to grow
\nBILLIONAIRES? how many?
\neverybody maxed out their plastic yet?
\nrefinanced homes with flex interest?
\nhome home on the street
\nwhere cameras stare and lights glare
\ninto the dawns early light
\noh say can you see
\nwhat might have been
\nif America and me
\nand you had not rationalized
\nthat first immoral act
\nor confessed it away with no restitution
\nor “we are born again
\nso anything we do is not immoral”
\ncome on righties you can do it
\none random act of kindness every day
\nfind a job that has some socially redeeming value
\nthe chasm is deed but the bridge is wide
\ngood night Keith, and good luck!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
