The Political Heckler

Whether he crab-walks around crowded caucuses or barges into partisan conferences, he's impervious to rank, menacing as a lance with his irreverent, working-class nonchalance. Flaunting his right and his might as a taxpayer, he glares in the eye at senators at the foyer, telling them if much-privileged idiots could fly, Congress would be an airport from on high. Really not much of a preamble kind of dude, he calls politicians boorish, slovenly and crude who look and act stupid because they really are; that's how regular he goes straight for the jugular!

Not just an activist poem, but a class write.
