Illegal Aliens?

Illegal Aliens?

You never call them illegal aliens
Until they’re finished cleaning up your place
But the term that you have named them
Makes them sound like felons from “Outer Space”

They come here seeking employment
And to start a better life
But you wish to confront them
With your guns or a knife

It seems like not too long ago
Some other people came to our shore
And Lady Liberty held her hand out
And said, please bring me more

We always welcome foreigners
To do the work we hate
But when they start to live here
You want to close the gate

And if they build that wall
To run across the border
But the ones, you’re trying to keep out
Will be the ones, laying all the mortar

Lack of Education

Lack of Education

Blame it on the teachers
Blame it on the schools
For turning out
All those illiterate fools

For when your children
Have reached a certain age
You never prepared them
For their upcoming school days

Because teachers and school boards
Are not the main concern
Of why you child
Still can’t learn

You send them to school
Like they were all alone
Never realizing it takes guidance
And encouragement from their home

So you parents wake up
And smell the coffee burning
And getting involved
With your child’s learning

And start worrying more
About your child’s education
Because it really needs
Your total participation

The Tea-Bagger's Dilema

The Tea-Baggers Dilemma

Pity the poor tea-baggers
Who hold their “Capitalism” so dear
They wanted low wage earners
But now they’ve got them, all living here

They tried to abolish the unions
And they did their very best
To replace the union workers
With people, who earned a whole lot less

Well they got their wishes
That made their profits soar
But now they’re so unhappy
Because all these people, are so very poor

But when a man crosses the border
To have a better life
With him he also brings
His children and his wife

And since he’s not paid
What’s honest, or is fair
His children and his wife
Are forced, to go on welfare

Republican Congressmen

Republican Congressmen

Oh those “Republican Congressmen”
They are a funny bunch
When it come to ethics
They always seem to be “Out To Lunch”

Like passing healthcare
For the common man
They’ve got theirs
So everyone else be damned

Everyone with health insurance
In our great land
Is very dangerous
And a “Socialist Plan”

But when big banks
Or Wall Street hollers
They’re right there
To shell out our dollars

When the Democrats want to regulate
And change some legislation
They won’t even listen to
Some pertinent information

A Solution?

Our City, County, and State
Have budgets low on funds
I got a simple answer to
That might help a little, some

Traffic fines and court fines
Everyone has to pay
But they’re not structured
In a Democratic way

All fines should be based
On the income of the offender
Starting from the current base
That the court now does render

The fine is now $381.00
For a Commuter Lane violation
If you earn $30,000.00
That’s a very significant participation

But if your income is 100,000.00
That’s a totally different situation
For the offense that’s committed
Another Commuter Lane violation

What would be more fair
To each and everyone
Would be a percentage
Of your current income

So the $381.00
For the guy making thirty grand
But it would be $1150.00
If you make a hundred thou-SAND

If all the fines are there
To make you change your ways
Then the percentage idea
Makes it a hardship, for the one who pays

And please no loopholes or amendments
To this simple revenue plan
For it only taxes the offender
Be he a poor or a rich man

If you are seeking
A real deterrent to crime
This is a fair adjustment
For any type of fine

Up On Capitol Hill
Sung to the tune of “Mockingbird Hill”
Composed on 3/17/2010

When the sun in the morning
Peaks up on old Capitol Hill
It’s still shedding no light
On America’s urgent, Healthcare bill

Tra La La, Tra Da De De
It makes me so ill
To see all those lobbyists >>>Chorus
Up there on Capitol Hill

Where our Congressmen
All seem to have no will
Is that because all their hands
Are in the Drug Makers till

We can’t afford a doctor
Or even a prescribed pill
Because of all the lobbyists
Up there on Capitol Hill

Chorus

So next time when you’re voting
Let them know, we’ve all had our fill
And we’ll be replacing, the Congressmen
Up there on Capitol Hill

Puritan’s Reasoning

John Edwards had an affair
While his wife was dying
Running for President
The whole time he was lying

George Bush was President
And went to war in Iraq
Sending our children into battle
With lies instead of fact

Bill Clinton had oral sex
With a political aid
While running our country
Increasing our foreign trade

Bush and Paulsen came out to tell us
They had this bank saving bail out pay
But now all of the Republican’s are crying
That Barrack Obama started giving our money away

So what’s your priority for our President?
To be the leader of our nation
Be faithful to his wife?
Is that part of his occupation?

Or would you rather have a guy
Who knows how to take command
And give us some dynamic leadership
To guide our cherished land

But if your puritanical philosophy
Will decide who will lead this land
You all should be prepared
For electing a lesser man

Stop looking for a “Prom King”
With the words you want to hear
And start listening to some answers
From a person who really has no fear

The truth is not always so attractive
That fits everyone’s personal thoughts
But let’s find some candidates
Who can’t always be bought?

Now that money rules our government
And the lobbyist’s get their way
So the laws are now made
By how much, that you can pay

It’s time for our Government
For them to be afraid
Instead of all us citizens being so worried
About the decisions they have made

So wake up and read
Some where between the lines
You may soon find
The problems of our times
