Bend Over, America

would you rather live in a 
totalitarian state which 
doesn’t dilly-dally round the
truth, pretending that citizens
have freedom, feeding them
the illusion that they will not
be crushed more & more 
each day & squandered by the
rich elite in charge, whose hand
on the button, whose police in
the pocket & whose military
& private mercenary firms that
both work for them, march round
the libraries, the grocery stores &
through the streets, dictating every
bit of life which the cameras up
above do not,
or 
would you rather live in the US
that has just decided, via. president 
hope & change (whose first
campaign was largely funded by 
Goldman Sachs & whose cabinet is
littered with its influence) & the DOJ
under his reign, that Goldman need not
worry its head anymore after a year of
“investigation,” which to the public 
eye was supposedly aiming towards
prosecution of the scum****s who 
profited off the poor during the 
most recent financial meltdown?

um, it is a catch-22 folks.

stating that there is insufficient evidence
to go forth with the probe, the DOJ
shows its true colors & goes belly-up,
whilst almost in the same breath, Goldman
shifts its funds & loyalty to romneyhood,
who promises to deregulate & 
stop at nothing to keep business as usual
from being affected by anything that
pathetic & petty public 
might be groveling about---
so bend over, america,
bend the **** over &
take it right up the ass,
with your teeth gritted in pain &
your eyes closed, wishing
Glass-Steagall was still around,
wishing that this whole experiment 
called america had been started by
somebody besides a room of rich
white guys who had fled taxation in
England, to come & exploit a 
whole new frontier.
