POETRY

We Won

He witnessed things too dire
To care for modern day concerns,
The freedom that he bled for, spurns,
And doesn't want to hire.
We thank you for your service,
Now go about your business,
Hide your disgusting sickness,
And find your purpose at the circus,
Stop making people nervous.
Park bench serene tenant,
Awkward coupon collector,
Shellshocked democracy protector,
Our local brittle mind lieutenant.
Economic sinkhole maker,
Productivity concerns,
Fewer spangled banner caskets,
More diminishing returns,
Uncle Sam, the undertaker,
Burns.
