Deb You Taunt
Your adamantine heart
The verbena 'neath your panties
The stupid struggle I put myself through
The French never acquiesced so much
You marched through a vulnerable landscape
Assuming that all would remain the same
Plum blossoms obscured the day sky
The old oaks pulled up stake shadowing the sun
Following it sunrise to sunset as far as we could see
The oaks never stopped providing shade
Especially to those who didn't want it
This is what government is about: religion & love
Not much else is there
'Cept kippers & whispers a little port
The elegant way you tell me I'm useless

POLITICS
President Obama has done more, gotten more passed in his first year than most Prezys. & hey, we're still in the first course, haven't gotten to the main meal yet.
The Republicans have defeated a jobs bill in the Senate. The House Repulicans today defeated health insurance for the heroic first responders to the 9/11 tragedy. They are against anything this President purposes. If President Obama said tomorrow that he will accept anything the Republicans want to pass & sign it to law, they would still say NO. There is a hideous American conflict now that should have been dealt with long ago & some of us thought it had been. Race.
When are we ALL going to realize that we all come from the same source?
& what have the Republicans proposed other than more tax cuts for the wealthy? What's their position on Health Care, except to say NO. What's their position on financial reform other than to say NO. What is their position on extending unemployment benefits other than to say NO. What is their position on the environment: drill, mine, drill & mine again. What's their position on the Military other than to say NO to benefits & medical care to returning vets from Iraq & Afghanistan. What's their position on FAMILY VALUES other than to have rampant affairs with folks off all sexual proclivities. Not that I care about that, it's that they are hypocrites about it.
But worst of all, is the Republican destruction of the American middle-class & the infrastructure of this country; physically, spiritually & economically.
