Earning Our Urn

The left is desperately trying to gain a foothold
on the soiled neckbones of the socialist
the right rallies around their Donny guns
and high wall lock and load Tommy gun rhetoric
but neither side is working for the working people
They live for their own self interests.
Everyone shouting about cleaving families
but never bat an eye to the mincing of babies
though our carbon footprints are rather large
we all scream about going green.
My how we love our freaky SUVS
bidets, gouty meats and wall to stall heat.
We're all hypocrites of the highest degree
none making sacrifices for progeny or country
we stumble along in the haze of mediocrity
where the losers wear medals never earned
as true freedom is led by the swine of the earth
sipping Kool aid from a shimmering cup 
that looks hell Uva lot like an urn.

I would award you POTD on this one. Phenomenal, Anthony. Love your fearless kick-butt style. Dead babies everywhere while we say nothing, singing about world peace? Give me a break. Worse than hypocrites, we support killing. Love, Panagiota

Hi Romios. Thanks for looking in on this poem. the people have forgotten that they have the power, Maybe its time for the middle class/the masses to stay home from work for a few weeks...You know have a day without the middle class kind of thing..but that won't happen because there is so much in fighting,,as far as I'm concerned democracy is a model for the world to follow,I don't see people banging on the borders of china, Iran, venezuela, russia..etc..etc.
