THE TRICKS OF A SMILING LAWYER

Oh, how low have you fallen
Since the day your haircut got you a ball’ in
The Prophet, Reba, warned us in her foyer
“Don’t trust a backwoods Southern Lawyer”
Taking advantage of your own American Story
So your dick could see some glory
Tossing your wife to the side
Breaking the trust of your soul driven bride
Was it fun making that dirty tape?
The violation of your family feels like rape.
We all fell for your youth and charm
Those thin layers that does a lot of harm
You bullshit your way from day to day
Your smile and white teeth does betray
Your serenity drowned by ambition and power
As you stand in the gothic’s darkest hour
Thank goodness we finally saw through you
Another “Jack and Marilyn” we couldn’t chew
And now your public profile has faded
I wonder how bad your followers were jaded?
I would say that you’re pretty much done for
Since you dropped your morals and acted like a whore
But a lawyer always has his many tricks.
And it’s as heavy as a bag of bricks.

THE DECADES OF POETIC POLITICS: 2000 - 2009

Oh, the “hanging chad” that stung us like a bee
Dumping our boy from the blue grass of Tennessee
The court crowning her favorite color of Red
Placing blame on Green for them losing by a thread.

Tuesday came showing us ravens in the sky
New Jerusalem crumpled straight down from on high
Heartache and loss taken advantage by some
As the patriot pounded it’s uncivil drum.

O’George, you promised no child left behind
You really think the masses were completely blind
A war continued in search of evil kings
Anaconda lashed out by the Eagle’s strong wings.

The Burning Bush that dances the Masquerade
Carelessly tossing about our mighty grenade
Proclaiming the right of the shock and awe campaign
By the devil’s claw, establishing our domain.

A proclamation that gays were Hitler’s Jews
Eleven acts that kept them from walking down pews
Ketchup tried to unseat the Texas Cowboy
Only to fail by his propaganda decoy.

A city that drowned by wrath of Katrina
Lacking hope, trapped in a damaged sport’s arena
Salvation and grace came by friends of Sean Penn
The cowboy’s polls crumbled. Can I hear an Amen?

Israel fights those who seek her to falter
Red continues his support high from his alter
The year ends with the hangman’s final judgment
For crimes he committed; brought by his resentment.

An “Axis of Evil” gave signs of false hope
As some wondered if the Cowboy had smoked some dope
The world showed signs of a fast downward fall
As gun shots rang out when Buddha was standing tall .

She strongly hammered in eighteen million cracks
He knocked out Alaska and those moose killing whacks
Hope and change brings the end to the Cowboy’s reign
As the value of everything went down the drain.

Healthcare began it’s long tumble from the top
As most paid more attention to the “King of Pop”
Jobs losses grew, plunging the average man
As this decade ended with Hope’s unstable plan.
