In the Absence of Strength
Wishing I had the strength
to lift a corner of this sweet-sweet land.
Shake out all these jugular-biting fire ants.
The disgruntled, ungrateful, chronic complainers.
Clawing and crying for more while giving less and less.
Sucking dry the breast of our sweet lady liberty.
Then spitting it back onto her weary chest.
Wishing I had the strength
to lift a corner of this sweet- sweet land
Shake out all the freeloaders and free riders
The socialists, communist backbiters.
The chronic criminal element and hellbenders.
The elementary indoctrinators and perverts.
Wishing I had the strength
