Fire

Message robert braunstein

I want to be a Senator
How much will it cost?
The working person
Gets double crossed.
Without the rich
You would have no job
So give a tax break
To some rich slob.
We light the fire
You put it out
The working man
Has no clout.
The name of the game
Is Protection
We'll protect you with
Our bomb detection.
We sell guns
And tanks and planes
We'll make your kids
Human remains.
We make enemies
Everywhere.
Fight them here
Or  fight them there.
All our taxes
For war and security
We protect your Homeland's
Purity.
Say goodbye
To Civil Rights--
We will scan
Your foreign flights
We'll shield
You from their bomb
Our security will keep you
From all harm.
That's your tax dollars
Hard at work
Protect you from
Some unknown jerk.
We'll make the grenades
And throw them all.
Wave the flag
And have a ball.
Entitlements  have
Got to go
So stick em up
Give us your dough.
