Don’t Blame Me (A Poem of Sorts)
When this country goes to shit, don’t blame me.
When the Republicans take office for the third straight term, don’t blame me.
when the economy continues to collapse around you, don’t blame me.
When your rights as an individual are taken away, don’t blame me.
When your job is sent overseas, don’t blame me.
when your insurance premiums skyrocket, don’t blame me.
when your public school is gutted by budget cuts, don’t blame me.
when your prescription drugs are no longer covered by Medicare, don’t blame me.
When you can’t afford to send your deserving son or daughter to college, don’t blame me.
When you notice the ambient temperture rising year by year, don’t blame me.
When 50% of your paycheck goes to oil & electric companies, don’t blame me.
When Blackwater comes and knocks on your door looking for your son, don’t blame me.
When you wake up in 10 years in a fascist state, don’t blame me.
When the American Dream becomes the American Nightmare, don’t blame me.
Blame each and every stupid, misled, uninformed fuck who voted Republican in 2008.
Democracy is only as good as you are intelligent.
Read.
Think.
Act.
Fight for it or die trying.
Obama ‘08.
It’s the only answer.
