Regretting Being Born in a World That Feeds Me Bullshit and Calls it Real Life
Subtitle: A Political Poem
Today's wars are waged with
Condiments over memos
And video footage is spliced together to try and create
A narrative that is easily followed where
A means B which leads to C
Ignoring complexity and justifications
Using a wide shot to evoke enormity
But then a close-up on the Everyman
(we need to play up the personal tragedy)
And money doesn't buy happiness
But what the fuck do the rich have to complain about
When the blacks are stealing pound-cake
And Christians are being offended
by a call to prayer
(the Ay-rabs are drowning out our church bells)
And Constitutional rights mean that
Gay men are free to marry
Any woman they choose
Just like the rest of us
And I am so fucking pissed off because
I don't even know what's going on in Canada today
Because they haven’t done an in-depth analysis on FOX News
