Look At Us Now

Children having children, promoted by our liberal laws Congress taking tax money and playing Santa Claus Third generation dependents don’t work, don’t even try Sit home, collect assistance, stay home and multiply Politicians have no conscience, the damage that they do Their pockets getting larger while screwing me and you You’ll be punished for working, it doesn’t fit their mold They want a nation of dependents, doing what they’re told They want you to be silent, please don’t ever rock the boat They will choose your health care and ram it down your throat They will have their own plan because they are the elite We all should be thankful just to grovel at their feet Under their new healthcare plans, let the patriots beware Dissidents, prisoners and terrorists will get the better care They found the funding for it, claiming it’s the only way They’ll just screw the working man and take it from his pay If you struggle and go to college, you’ll be forever in debt But start manufacturing children and see all you can get Those who will not work have found a bed of clover Killing off the working man, socialists have taken over We need to help the people who cannot help themselves For permanent couch potatoes, we’re not Santa’s little elves Punished for achievement, ambition is treated like a vice Sit down, shut up, don’t think and they will treat you nice Obedient subservient robots is what the elected officials seek They want inconsequential citizens to be dehumanized and meek They’ll tell us what to think and teach us to stoop and bow If you think times were bad before, just take a look at US now

I can say I admire your passion though Vince. very much so in fact. I don't really care about ideology as much nowadays, just sincerity, and I can see you're genuinely distressed. Things will work out someday...here's hoping anyway. thanks for sharing your thoughts with us as always. -Yoni

but see us over here in liberal camp hate the corporate health plan system enacted by conservatives that raped the working man for his health care premiums and denied him coverage whenever it was deemed too costly.It's easy to hate elected officials constantly in the public eye,not as easy to hate corporate puppeteers running the government from their board room meetings and power lobbyists. ultimately we're divided and have no desire to see eye to eye.All we can really do is agree to disagree.

As with all "stories" it has a "kernel" of truth. If you were a 60 year old woman who gave her productive earning years to raising a child and keeping a house AS WELL as working, for less money than a man, a 40 hr. job; and get to 60 and it's the house tax or healthcare? And you can't even get a minimum wage job though you'd need 3 or 4 of them? As a white man you don't have the correct? perspective to rant, nor I suspect the lack of education? The priveledged class. Love Ya Anyway! good poem.

My third percentage, Mr Ronnie Biggs, the Great Train Robber was finally released on compassionate grounds. Yes he was guilty, he actually served more time than Rapists, Murderers, Child Molesters - yet some have been released a second time to still commit the crimes the did previous. If you can answer this fairly, please do - if not - please stand behind Vince and look at the overall picture, as it could easily be you in this society we live in. I REST MY CASE, Chowa - The Highlander..

My second percentage, The USA like all other countries - The UK. If you do the same crime in three regions of Scotland, you will get three different verdicts, no wonder they said the Law is an Ass. If you kill someone drink driving, with all the media interest in this subject, you never get to drive again, period - break that choice of freedom, you are given a mandatory sentence that has to be served. My brother was killed by a guy who was innocent, and he never drove again, now thats sad.

I will comment on a percentage of what Vince is on about. If i was to lose a member of my family, even a close friend - in particular to a cold blooded crime - why as a parent or friend should my taxes be used to keep the said person in prison. In a cold blooded kill, if you are brave enough to take a life, be man or woman enough to lose yours. My family member may come from a run down area, these funds could be re-directed back into their area, Chowa - The Highlander..

Vince you always raise such interesting points in your poetry and to be honest I couldn't agree more - This country is in a hell of a shape and I find it to be something very troubling - I fear the fact that we turned our back on God as a Nation and he is going to allow us to be taught a lesson for our arrogance - It is a pleasure to read your work again Vince - God Bless you and the family - MJ
