Sarcastic Sonnet For Our Times
(Sorry Mr. Shakespeare for borrowing your work..)
All the world's a stage and the many politicians merely players
they have their so called issues.. and agendas
and those who blindly agree
too bad one of them is not the unique one called "me"
The first act is the Republican with all his grand and glory
claimed those unpatriotic and treasonous if they dare to ask "if only"
..if you would fight to agree that the money be shared with the lowly "me"
but they are happy in their masks of red white and blue
and say screw you from their pretended thrones of gold
The Second act is the Democrat.. with his chest swollen proud
his deed of "doing good" is boasted from sea to sea
Yet it seems to this "me" that the cameras needn't be
always present to flash their bulbs and record this pretense of a good deed which is phony at best.. and done as an act of pseudo chivalry
The Final Act is the Independent.. breathing fire and brimstone on the backs
of the first and second acts.. yet their egos held high
above of our heads.. and even the heavens in the sky
They pretend they are the gods of our democracy
but all is a load of crap.. to blind us.. or is this my imagination
but let everyone know if by chance you agree..

raves +1 Oct 09, 2008 08:55PM GMTI was trying to remember what Romeo says when he sees the light in Juliets window.
'But soft! From what yonder light doth glow, 'tis not the morning light."
Or something like that... -

raves +1 Oct 09, 2008 09:11PM GMTTwice? I'm impressed, I could barely stand Romeo's whining the first time I read it.
We had to recite little passages from it for an english class. I'm surprised I remember that much of it. -

Ode to Sean Hannity
by John Cleese
Aping urbanity
Oozing with vanity
Plump as a manatee
Faking humanity
Journalistic calamity
Intellectual inanity
Fox Noise insanity
You’re a profanity
