Two Weeks Gone

two weeks gone

and still no end in sight

the light is seen in the

infinite tunnel but it's

just a phantom train

passing right through you

the federal outfit might as

well be outfitted for a coffin

made from their empty promises

and their claims of full faith and credit

am I the only one who notices the

irony of the phrase "debt ceiling"?

this is what happens when stupid fuckers

tap dance around the Senate floor and quote

Dr. Seuss for twenty-one hours straight

pachy-asses need to be stabbed in the asses

with hedgehog quills, but just like the hopes and

dreams of cynically sane ones, they've been s**t

on by the ones who are truly in charge

the lovers of political theater, for this is just 

simple theater after all

the countdown is almost over,

the seventeenth day is almost here
