Although this was written in response to S.3348 it seems to apply far more generally than I anticipated. Scary, I know. -M
RE: S.3348 – Accountable Capitalism Act
(Read this piece of shit by clicking here... after you read my shit down there)
This
is an average guy who took the time
to
let his representative know his mind
in
the hope representative democracy
can
still work for an average guy like me.
If
I may speak freely, from what I've seen
I
put the odds at highly unlikely
I'm
white and male, my apologies
Still,
I made my plea in digital poetry
and
cast it out through a port #443.
Godspeed!
To:
You
From:
Me
Right
Honorable, Most Merciful, Excellency...
Someday
this bill will come before you, burn it, please
It's
a chimera, an abomination crafted beautifully
Loot
billionaires for a minute then the middle class eternally
You
fix inequality with ninety-nine for them, one for me
I
beg your forgiveness for remembering history
Those
who fail to learn its lessons end up like me
No,
thank you, Can’t afford it. Now, go away please.
Then,
the Bill passed with bipartisan support. Unanimously!
Another
unfunded liability for me and my family.
You
have no shame, so I have no sympathy. Now, go away please.
This
average guy would rather see "Government Accountability"
No,
I'm not a communist, terrorist, or deranged mentally.
No,
I don't have a weapon or bomb. Fine. Go ahead. Frisk me... again.
I'm
a libertarian... Great! Another official with episodic A.D.D.
Hey,
buddy! Over here. Focus, you son of a B…
Let's
talk about the lay of the land, topography
"The
level playing field" as you call it dishonestly
Decades
from now this quote will be my legacy
because
you couldn’t tax it, steal it, or charge a fee
"Give
me Death or Government Accountability"
In
the Land of the Free from sea to shining sea
Immediately,
if not sooner, if you please. I said please.
That’s
a win-win for you and me and our posterity.
All
our future generations bounced on a knee
Our
debt situation isn’t serious, it’s critical, seriously
it’s
a choice of life or death, to be or not to be
I
don't give a shit if Kaepernick took a knee
Hey,
Rain-man, are you listening to me?
As
above, so below", so the ancient saying goes.
What
we’re taught is everything we know.
From
father to son, from mother to the girl with the bow.
To
wear the mantle this lesson you must know
As
above, so below.
As
above, so below.
Our
example plants a seed or a field fallow.
As
above, so below.
As
above, so below.
Those
who cannot control themselves
will
seek to control every one else.
To
demonstrate their power and prowess
It’s
in our human genome, I guess
Blind
ambition is sin in fancy dress
A
virtue if we veil it in governance
that
cares for the poor and powerless
At
their own expense. What a hot mess!
If
the People wont follow
then
make them bow, they know.
It’s
a fear and dominance show,
follow
my lead, here we go
As
above, so below.
As
above, so below.
The
need to sit upon every throne
is
a contagion beneath the capitol dome
Everyone
knows how the fanfare goes
As
above, so below.
As
above, so below.
Once
more fortissimo
As
above, so below.
You’re
a busy man. I understand.
Heavy
is the head but so is the hand.
That
forms a fist in the gauntlet of hegemony
You’re
perfect plan for all the land, most assuredly
Mirages
look like an oasis in the sand. Lunacy!
Let’s
speak honestly. Here’s the truth I see
Charity
is the sister of accountability
both
are birthed or stillborn at home invariably
If
you can’t control yourself, don’t try steering me
If
the blind lead the gullible it’s easy to see
Both
fall down pursuant to the Law of Gravity
When
plunder is enshrined in law, the law is insanity
Free
from the chains of bondage to financial slavery
We
have arrived in the land of bilk your money
The
promised land of transfer payment thievery
Open
your wallet says me, Ali Baba’s wet dreams
Plenty
for Al Capon’s bride to be
The
Artful Dodger picked her purse clean
Robin
Hood, what an amateur!
We're
the government, we rob everybody.
To
each according to their criminality
to
those upon the throne, our ruling royalty
by
the indolent hand of noble bureaucracy
From
those below the wealth is gleaned
A
permanent flock of sheep to fleece
99
for the shepherds and none for me
Don’t
kill them, just shear them vigorously
until
they bleed.
Arbeit
macht frei!
Work
makes you free the same lie they told me
E
Pluribus Unum means "We serve monopolies"
Buy
on Amazon, post on Facebook, insure with Geico
Lose
it in Public Storage, find it, and sell it on Let Go
Get
a nickel on the buck if the market is right
Repeat
this mistake every day for the rest of your life
iPods,
iPads, iPhones one through ten, iHomes
I
need a vacation to rest my broken iBones
You
know the drill, so here iGo...
As
above, so below.
As
above, so below.
Equality
begins six feet down horizontally
Not
a level playing field at forty-five degrees
No,
thank you, Can’t afford it. Now, go away please.
I’ve
got kids to feed. Your help is killing me.
First
practice what you preach
Prove
your wise enough to teach
Equity
isn’t grab everything in reach
While
lying to me through golden teeth
There
is no honor among thieves
Even
those who pontificate constantly
The
banks just went bankrupt again? Oh, gee?
Even
after I paid all those goddamn fees?
Deficit
spending and freedom ain't free
Steal
the money from my kid, age three
But
don't touch a dime of my social security
That
makes good financial sense to me
The
kid may feel differently at age thirty-three
Oh,
damn! Papa
and Uncle Sam fucked me!
As
the damage grows...
As
above, so below
As
above, so below
And
the corruption shows...
As
above, so below
As
above, so below
Generations
fall like dominoes...
As
above, so below
As
above, so below
Like
a river flows and the sunlight glows
As
above, so below
As
above, so below
A
seed or fallow
As
above, so below
As
above, so below
The
hand both reaps and sows
As
above, so below
As
above, so below
The
judge made a choice, easy as can be
Death
before Government Accountability
Legally
"equal" is two ropes on a gallows
None
for them, two for me, consecutively.
Sentence
to be carried out prestissimo
Stretch
his neck. Courts adjourned. Gotta pee.
May
God have mercy on your soul.
As
above, so below
As
above, so below
Before
my last words I heard the judge clearly go…
Now,
you’re free, you’re really free
I
thought he was talkin' to his dick not me
I
was wrong, dead wrong as could be...
Free
at last, so totally free
But
your widow still owes me
Damn,
it burns when I pee!
Last
words... Fuck it! Let's go.
So,
the story goes...
As
above, so below
As
above, so below
As
above, so below
As
above, so below
