lived nearly always
\nin a nation and house divided upon itself
\nremembering as recent as yesterday
\nthe Great Bloody American Revolution
\nwhich was the gift of laws describing
\nexactly a Bloodless Revolution
\nall it ever took takes will take
\nare equals in ever way
\nto human rights deemed undeniable
\nafter two hundred and thirty-two years of practice
\nwe are STILL divided
\nno longer between exactly north and south
\n1) the leisure rich and the working poor
\nyes we remember corrupt union leaders
\nas well we see corrupt corporation leaders
\nas we hear those contenders to “the throne”
\ncollecting contributions by the millions
\ninsane is Patriotic American Apple Pie
\ncrazy is how it feels
\nto live in a world where Money is God!
\n2) the televangelists grow round and rich
\nafter two thousand and seven years
\nthe money changers are still in the temple
\nthat has been infected with perpetual war
\nbetween the sexes and between nations
\n(expletive)
\ndelete
