SHRUB, aka George W. Bush

Written November 8, 2000, day after election night

and the beginning of the fraudulent presidency

 

It’s all up to you and me (or so we thought)

just how it should be

Do we really want some mindless idiot

running our whole country

Some clown with a dunce cap

playing games and tricks

with all that’s precious

in the Human condition

It’s a cold steel world

and Big Industry

reigns as King

controlling the Global Economy

and the well being of the little people

their not-so-loyal subjects

And Big Industry rules

the Presidency

I guess that’s why

they want some mindless idiot

who will do exactly as he is told

But people really fall

for his rhetoric

and used car salesman

persona

Especially the unsophisticated

mass of Middle America

who aren’t so concerned

with the bigger issues

or even aware

All there is to go on to decide

are those brain-stimulating TV ads

and of course he had more of those

than his more Liberal opponent

and so it goes…we soon shall know
