Hubris

When they told me it was a fringe I told them scuttling the common man This country is about to binge The tea party is a revolution Opportunistic like a parasite, O do not get me wrong For I am a lover of nature And believe it is the right of every creature To have its existence. I just miss the song That the wasp never sings And guard against the venom when it stings.

Love this, and love that line "opportunistic like a parasite" that is exactly it, they are latching on like parasites when the ship is sinking but without any solution, only their @#% anger. Thanks for inspiring me to look up that word hubris. A perfect title. Andrea

Yes, I am worried that too our country is facing something of a tea party if the leaders of this great country don't do something soon to turn things around..Sara

My friend, I get political too, but you are cold with it ... and still have the expertise to keep us warm. One love

yes, so true, the poor and those who think they are not rich enough, and those who would keep the hunry forever hungry sick, and dieing so as to mantain their own position...profane the name of liberty..use, hate and anger and have Tea Party! They but lend smoke to the screen which already blinds the masses seeped in their own concept of original sin (sigh) SO glad you like Night Stalker...it did not even warrent an honorable mention in the Bedeviled contest (sigh) I miss your kind words!
