dystopia

watch out for those lawyers

A politician’s guile

and a lawyers smile

can be disarming

and somewhat alarming

Barbed wire grins

and musty old sins

is what makes them

so deviously charming

With a little white lie

and a wink of the eye

they will make you believe

all the good they’ll achieve

They take care of our fears

with crocodile tears

and lull us to sleep

not as wolves  but as sheep

By twisting the law

they make us safe and secure

and make it our right

to consume day and night

 

Kill all the lights

and bring on the nights

For our own apathy

has bred this catastrophe

 

So forget the poor

and that neighbor next door…

 

Thank God!

The devil is still on our side-

a little rhyming fun.
