Abracadabra ! The IrRational is made to Appear Ratioanl !

What is the Rational Function of a Government gone - IrRational ?

Abracadabra !

With a Wave of the Wand

A little Slight of the Tongue and the Mind

And What do you find ?

A tantrum-tossing Red Elephant in a Magical Hat ?

A Government Shut Down ?

A DeFaulted Debt Unkind ?

Abracadabra !

Ba-ba-loo and Flim-Flam-a-la-Ka-zam !

Look in the ever Reflective Mirror, America the Beautiful

You’ll See the Shrinking, Once Great, I Am !

Shrunk and choked by your own Legislators, Judicators,

Corporate/Banker Autocratic Plutocrats, and Elitists

Argumentatively Ambitious Power Hungry Hands !

Abracadabra !

Want a Portentious Hunch ?

Forget about Logic from this Red Handed Elephantine Bunch

They’re Out To a Tea Partying, Heretical Heritage,

Freedom Works and Twerks, Boehner Strainer, Cantor meaningless Banter,

Meese’s broken Pieces, Bruisin’ Cruzin’ Muncha-a-Lunch !

And the Great Nation of America is the Main Course

Of Their delectable Meal

They Insist that President Obama and the Democrats

Surrender their Protective Instincts and Laws

Aiding the dwindling Middle Class,

The Working Poor, the Jobless Poor, the Affordable Care Act, Immigrants,

The Social Security Benefits, Medicare and Medicaid, Head Start and WIC

They say, “let the Poor, the Dis-Enfranchised, the Jobless, the DisAbled, the Children’

Starve, Go UnEducated and Jobless

And Let’s Make a Deal !

Or we’ll continue to Put the Screws to America til you Squeal !

Abracadabra !

Forget about Compassionate Action !

Because the Red Ragin’ Elephants

Are Ruled by the Tea Partying Fractious Faction

And we have been bribed,

Derisively derided and Ideologically galvanized

To rant and rave, and kick and scream our Republican Selves

Red and Redder still - until the Whole Nation

Cries “Uncle ! Now, Please, Pay Our Bills !”

Abracadabra !

Wave of the Magical Wand

And a little Slight of Hand Under (and now legally over) the Table

Citizen’s United Private Billionaires Payoffs

And fully loaded Contributions

To push their Agendas

And Benefit their Intakes and Distributions

Of National and Global Mooh-la and Shifting Sands Power

Don’t Bellyache and Glower, American Citizens

Your Holier-Than-Thou Supreme Court

Ruled it so, and Made it so

The Monetary Rules Protecting your Democracy

Were easily cast aside by the View of the Elitist Few

You’ve Got your Dues, and you’ll now you’ll Pay your Dues

Over and above your pitiful whinings and whose-boo-hoos

Abracadabra !

Bish-boom-ba-flash-in-the-pan

Shrinking, Once Great Nation, I Am

Wounded and Diminished

By your own Schitzo-Splitzo-phrenics’

Red Republi-cans suffocatingly truncating Political Gaming Hands

While the Whole World

Is Watching you Twist in the Tornadic Winds

Of your Own Making and Breaking

Viewing their B**b-tubes and YouTubes

In Quizzical Deer-in-the-Headlights Fascination

As America’s Democratic Republic

Writhes around and painfully squirms

To the misanthropic and spastic Rhythms and UnGodly Terms

Of the Shut Down Boogie

And the DeFaulted Debt Ceiling Blues

Boo-hoo ! Boo-poopy-doo !

Abracadabra !

Ka-la-ma-zoo !

Please, Legii-Slay-tors, Stabilize our National Canoe !

Let’s All put on Our Memory Hats

And Re-Member

That the Function of A Government

Is to Help the People It Represents

To Function Properly, Fairly and Beneficially

For All Citizens Individually

And for the Socio/Economic Well Being

Of the Whole of the Nation, as well

When that is Forgotten all is lost

The Tempest will not be weathered

The Fabric binding the Nation Together

Will be torn asunder and tossed

Abracadabra !

Where’s a Great Magician

In a Legendary Hero’s White Hat

When you need them to Miraculously Appear ?!

When the IrRational is Made Rational

And Great Nations are Selfishly and Suicidally pulled apart

And Forced to Dis-Appear ?!

At ‘Times Like These’

It Takes the Voices, Work and Activated Will

Of The Many - of We the People-Magicians

To, perhaps, eventually Save and ReStore

What’s Most Precious - Most Dear !
