John Weber Poet Rhyme

The Puppet In Chief

Yes I can refuse
to believe the hype
when my core views
keep getting ripe
while you refuse
to halt this swipe.

I bail on this chief,
our puppet speaker,
as my belief
hails me seeker
since this relief
can’t get bleaker.

So, who owns you, sir?
Is it Goldman Sachs?
Does big oil blur
all our attacks?
I must concur
your pride is lax.

This grand distraction
won’t steal my thunder
as your faction
buckles under
civil action
while you wonder.

Carolyn Devonshire December 8, 2009 at 12:40 PM Gripping, John. Many of our elected officials have special interests, be it oil, insurers, physicians or others, pulling their strings. When I voted for our president, I believed he was not "tied" to special interests, but now I'm wondering what happened to the promises made on the campaign trail. Thought-provoking and very insightful write! Love, Carolyn
