Once there was an end of the war in sight,
they built their John Steinbeck ship,
hoisted the Ayn Rand flag
and sailed to the promised land.
Upon the honeyed shore, there she was,
their old enemy, milky arms wide open in welcome.
Blood and spit dripping from her mouth, she said,
kindness isn't a two-way street.

Steinbeck wrote
A turtle
Into infamy
Into American history
He wrote of struggle
He wrote of pain
Have we learned nothing
Never getting out of the rain?
Our government officials
wants us to be better than we are
But don't teach by example
To busy playing "CZAR"
We write for world peace
For love and integrity
For our Lord
Our words are the sword
We fight the battle while those that make the rules play monopoly.
