The People Speak (November 7, 2006)
O ideologues of this great nation,
haven’t you learned the truth by now?
Shun your foolish avocation,
ease the stiffness of unbending vows,
the maniacal, overzealous preoccupation
with religion, ocracies, isms and sacred cows.
Exit quietly if you will, and take your long bows.
Oh ideologues of this great nation
time to rest, please take a vacation!
Wipe the sweat from your nervous brows.
The train awaits you at the station.
Haven’t you learned the truth by now?
The people have spoken, their roar is loud,
throughout the land renewed sensation,
a change of course to make us proud.
Shun your foolish avocation!
Gracefully concede, resist temptation,
the ship of state will right its bow
on waves of peace and redemption
and ease the stiffness of unbending vows.
America’s seeds, rooted in moderation,
grow well in fertile soil beneath our plough,
eschew the cankerous grounds of other nations-
defy your smothering dogma and disavow.
O ideologues!
