Oh little town of Washington,
how still we see you lie.
The crap -- a cheap and mean-filled heap --
as silent drones destroy.

In your dark hearts harbored
the everlasting ploy
through hopes and fears to millions here
serious fleecing to provide.

Obama, born of Oprah,
we gathered all around
to push Bush out forever,
a sick, destructive clown.

Alas, our dream aborted.
The Cheney course remains.
Obama’s charm at doling harm.
He’s master of the game.

Our government’s been captured.
Democracy’s destroyed.
The common good, brother-, sister-hood.
In place, sociopathy’s void.

As winter’s chill envelopes
so the heartlessness of State.
Corporate-cronied, criminal enterprise,
a holy hell of hate.

While I don't share all of your analysis, I do appreciate and enjoy your wicked and darkly comic appropriation of a hopeful Christmas carol. Oh irony!
I remember when you first posted this, I think, Lib. Wasn't it that time Gerald prompted us to run away with Xmas carols?
Still applies, this one, unfortunately.

Reality sucks, doesn't it. What to do? R.
Hey, it scans and it rhymes. Those are two failings that always put me off. Merry Christmas libby.
