Inside the Box

Washington always “thinks inside the box.” No wonder why we're in this fix we're in. Their collective thinking stifles or blocks The country’s progress and provides the spin To sway the public view to uselessness. This herd mentality is quite bizarre To think that all these minds can not express A single “out of the box" thought thus far. It’s piteous, at least to me, to see These coattail hangers we call congressmen- Inane, inept reps of the bourgeoisie Wind up screwing us time and time again. One must conclude this simple inference: Vote in or vote out makes no difference.

Congrats Albert on the feature and the perfect description of the criminals we have in Congress. No 10 commandments in Washington because Thou shalt not kill, thou shall not commit adultery and thou shalt not lie with a bunch of lawyers and politicians creates a hostile work environment.
