Nestled masses as one
Not filibustering
New passive rhetorics
Not one undermining
Nurtures minds of masses
No vision left undone
Never-ending service

In the blink of an eye,
and the kink of a stye,
or the filibustering sigh
of a speaker,
the clock rolls its hands
to the sounds of big bands,
as the hand of time grows weaker
Levity/ brevity merge into one, storm’s
darkening clouds; sun’s briefly shone;
We really must hurry, just don’t have
the time, for kissing and cooing, or a sweet
sixty nine.
Pull back the sheets quickly,
clothes we’ll keep on;
the missionary position, can be quite fun.
But do keep it short, best not drag it out;
the quicker we cum, the sooner we’re out!

I do believe it is possible to truly love America
and now I can say that
Now I can say that I love America
boldly speaking my mind for what is right
realizing destiny of thomas paine's constitution of
goodness and mercy
now I can say that I believed
now I can realize my true American destiny
so much more than shopping malls
and big macs
so much more than filibustering
America is humanism
Thoreau, Emerson and Unitarian preachers
honesty, kindness, wise, and trying to realize our destiny
o, it gets lost so easily
but now I know
how to find it.

A COUNTRY TURNED UPSIDE CLOWN
So the government is going completely insane
the way it usually does
there's nothing but filibustering and disdain
and to get rid of what once was
there's eighteen months until the next presidential election
so the news is inundated with who, what and where
there seems to be no viable correction
while arguments and insults are all I hear
the president in power now is banned from doing anything good at all
every package he wraps up with a bow is knocked down
labor movements do nothing but stumble and stall
and every congressmen or senator is nothing but a pin-striped clown
god forbid both sides of the aisle should come to agree
but that won't happen because that would declare a winner
I hear talk radio with racial slurs that offend people like me
and guess who's not coming to dinner
so let's continue to flood the airwaves with scenes from the Twilight Zone
themes only the self indulgent can understand
while the newscasters refuse to reveal the unknown
with people like Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannady leading the band
