America's seniors
Paid their taxes when due
But retired on pensions
That favored the few
Now County Clerks
Have made that quite clear
Under "Cause of Death:"
(Enter your Senator here)

Dear D, W, P sorry my wife missed her back to work meeting
but have been a bit preoccupied with the bone density scan
her doctot of 30 years
has ordered for her
Deratment of Work and Pensions
I swear i will send this to the papers

Teachers quitting at record rates
Why face daily violence and hate
Public schools face colossal debt
Yet teachers' pensions fatter get
Unions clamor for more and more
Though few are left to mind the store
Education as the province of a privileged few
~ may again be the prospect we look forward to

world peace
is it attainable?
not yet.
Plausible?
not here.
Possible?
maybe some day
not this day
not while the NRA rules
and young men are the first ones sent to the front as fodder
while old men collect pensions and lifetime salaries
things might change if we sent senators and congressmen to the front
after they declare wars on other countries

World abandonment
vanity infests
greed escalates
charity nullified
Competitive paradise
prices uncontrollable
hunger staggering
debt maximized
Honest lost
integrity futile
words misconstrued
greed rapid
Equality vanished
pensions minute
labor intensified
jobs down sized
World absorbed
humans consumed
profits soar
mortgages abandoned
World immobilized
composure lost
hope desperate
destruction eminent.
