The Litany of Our Reform

I go to work.
I go home.
Living life’s litany,
My dream sits alone.

The man you see,
Though I live it
Is not the man I want to be.

Funny thing is: I often ask why.
Not funny – admitting you lived a lie.

So I quit my job today . . . and . . . and . . .

And the litany continues:
Why did the chicken cross the road?
Isn’t it obvious?
He had nowhere else to go.

So I sent a note to President Obama,
“Welcome to America – where dreams defer.”

Socialism is a raisin set to explode
And it doesn’t “crust and sugar over.”
It sadly just explodes.
