Winter Blues 2008

Message robert braunstein

People can't tolerate negative thinking,

They want to be upbeat,

While the country is sinking.

Eight hundred thousand homeless on the street;

But, bailout the banks, the insurance companies

And all the elite.

"We got to help out the middle class," we mutter;

The poor and the hungry

Can die in the gutter.

Homeowners foreclosed on,

Thousands out on their ass;

They give away our money, the rich get a pass.

It is a love fest, Lieberman is forgiven,

No such thing as principles -- it's a given.

It's all part of the game,

Liars and cheats, they are all the same.
