WHO'S ILLEGAL?

When the first peace pipe was passed,

A mellow medicine man,

Crafted the first legislation,

A bad immigration plan.

And so the fuss of THEM and US,
The cranky-ass need to condemn,
Except for descendants of Sitting Bull,
All of US used to be THEM.

GREED RUNNETH OVER

He looks down on mankind's mortal mess,

And He’s more than a little dismayed,

Sternly He speaks:  We have to talk,

Humanity’s fabric is frayed.

I taketh offense at you fortunate few,

Who’ve grabbed so much of the gold,

While needy masses of dispossessed,

Sleep outside in the cold.

I wonder what part of the golden rule,

You corporate crooks don’t get,

Your sinful, greedy ill-gotten gains,

Exceedeth the national debt!

Remember the camel…the eye of the needle?

Salvation’s not meant to be free,

In My Book, greed is the deadliest sin,

So don’t come praying to me.

I mourn humanity’s loss of compassion,

And greed is its primal tool,

Whoever would meet thy Maker (that’s Me!),

Live thee by My Golden Rule!

THE BIG GAME...THE AFFLUENT vs. THE BROKE

The A Team was born on third base,
When they score it's ruled a home run,
The B Team knows that the game is rigged,
And it no longer seems like fun.

The A Team gets to hire all the umps,
And still claim there's justice for all,
But they DON'T get to claim they're Babe Ruth,
When they never have hit a curve ball.
