The Brothers KochA Poem by Baby RicochetThe Koch (pronounced coke) brothers are industrial gazzilionaires who have been funding far right PACS and interest groups for decades. Like the Taxaphobic, gun toting, history revisionist Tea party.How did dumb become a virtue in political debate The crazier the sound bytes are the more they resonate Representing village idiots A wing nut kind of norm Legislate against the people while claiming it's reform Deregulate the EPA No more minimum wage Cut tax rates for billionaires So we can be their slaves Say no to global warming Keep burning fossil fuel Say the facts are inconclusive Though irrefutable Hand us over to the rich man The far right battle cry They prey upon the ignorant You have to wonder why The architects of lunacy The mirror in the smoke Aristocratic sabotage The good old brothers Koch The far right sugar daddies with money to swing votes Since citizens united past unlimited banknotes Funding phony grass root parties Through their super PACS Generating paranoia with fear monger attacks Duping the uneducated into a corporate vote Buying off the house and senate with laws they underwrote When "grass root" party politics align with industry You have to wonder what is up With the duality The puppet master in the mix The hand behind the cloak The far right wing nut piggy bank The Good old Brothers Koch © 2014 Baby RicochetAuthor's Note
