It isn’t so much
they’ve gerrymandered
districts so no
one they don’t like
can get elected.
It isn’t so much
they’re willing to
indebt taxpayers
to insure corporate
profitability, and
It isn’t so much
they’re willing to
invalidate or eradicate
laws made by
the people to protect
the people or
amend the law
to defeat legal objection
to corporate ambition, no
It isn’t any of
that. It’s the
people who still
think beer and
a second helping
of potato salad
at the game answers
everything and its OK
for politics to rape
democracy so long
as we get to watch.
But its not.
It’s not all right.
It’s all wrong.
And it isn’t so
much we have to
do anything about it.
Because it’s so wrong
the right will
brush us aside
and take care
of everything
all by itself,
if we do nothing.
