“Promises, promises, promises” morphing into big lies—
January snowing “appointments” of Wall Street guys
Bloody war criminals wedded in one Plutocratic Party
Warring their way to banks, laughing loud and hearty—
Playing a most reliable con game of bait and switch;
Sorting out which warlord faithfully serves the rich…
Their nonstop, smokescreen $elections and $campaigns
Red, white and blue Kool-Aid—for bathing of brains
With blather, drowning out the resonant radical voices
With Thug-in-a-Rug-Golda-Plated Iron Lady “choices:”
Mike and Ike, good cop, bad cop foils from the jump—
Bogeymen like Bush, McCain, Romney, and Trump!
Absent independent politics—November sows danger:
Reaping crimson “hope and change,” like Drone Ranger…
Pentagon pimps propagandizing through the Apollo
Proving again, where cash flows, “leaders” will follow—
But the 99% need not wait every four years to mobilize:
Strikes, boycotts, rallies, marches that build—organize,
Raise consciousness, raise money, canvass, phone bank
For salt of the earth, the masses, grassroots—the rank!
