Rigged

 

Most of us now know

The game is rigged,

But we still play along,

What the hell else is

There to do,

We buy the lottery tickets,

Shake our heads

At the bailed out boys

Still getting bonuses,

Shrug and pay taxes

On taxes,

Stare in stupefied wonder

As our politicians

And their long winded lobbyists

Tell us why we cannot

Afford decent health care

For everyone,

Why billions for bombs

Is a patriotic necessity.
