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

Who Belongs Here?

American?

A lot of our citizens wonder
Who really belongs here
I hope to provide some answers
Which should make it clear

When Christopher Columbus
Landed on our shore
There were a bunch of people
Who were here long before

He was seeking a trade route
And India was his destination
But he landed here instead
Through some faulty navigation

He called the native people
All Indians without any hesitation
That’s how they were wrongly named
Because of his misinformation

The Indian precedes the American
Which might be a clue
While with every other nationality
The total reverse is true

Maybe that’s because
They were first upon this land
And all the rest of all us
Are immigrants, don’t you understand

When someone comes to our border
Some say they’re not allowed in
But what if their forefathers
Were locked out way back then

What if when they came
The government did deny
Where would we all be
Is my honest reply

Most all of our roots
Can be traced to another place
But this is now the country
That we all embrace

One of the strengths
Of our cherished land
Is this big melting pot
Now,, DO you understand

So please give up, this petty fight
Complaining, we’re the chosen ones
This land welcomes all of us
Like our fathers and their sons

Tea Party

The Tea Party

I guess they took their name
From those rebels long ago
And they have a lot in common
As my preceding verse will show

The originals were a bunch of rich slave owners
Who were opposed to ever being taxed
They wished to keep the “Status Quo”
From ever being relaxed

If the poor would ever get educated
Chaos would surely prevail
They might even gain some power
And all that it entails

Oppression is the answer
To protect the very elite
Forbid the very thought of
Giving power, to the man in the street

They would hate to see a change
That might help the working class
They’re safely on that ”Republican Elephant”
Instead of a lowly “Democratic Jackass”

Dr. Margret Flowers

Last Wednesday night
On my color T V
I saw President Obama
Make a passionate plea

He was there in his
State of the Union address
Talking about health care
To our esteemed Congress

He stated right there
To every woman and man
To come on forward
If they had a better plan

So the very next day
Knocking on Barack’s front door
Was this lady doctor
From the city of Baltimore

Fighting for a cause
The Single Payer Plan
The Health Care answer
For our troubled land

She’s been arrested
And thrown in jail
Trying to be heard
Why our congress did fail

She’s a devoted doctor
This Maryland physician
Trying to change our
Leader’s healthcare position

So please Mr. President
Will you give her, a listen
To this devoted lady
A very caring pediatrician

You asked for someone
To help solve the problem
And here comes Dr. Flowers
The answers, maybe she’s got em!

I’m sure this is really
Like “Hope” and like “Change”
The very same words
On which you campaigned
