Pop! Goes the People! By L. Don Oliver
All around the tax tree, Politicians propagandize the _; Politicians get what they've planned for, Pop! goes the __;
Matters not who's elected, The citizens will always be _, When there comes any glimmer of hope, Pop! goes the __;
Close down all the plants, So none can be _; Send them all overseas, Pop! goes the __;
Several trillion for the Big Boys, One hundred billion for the _; That's where the borrowed money goes, Pop! goes the __;
All around Old Washington Town, The Status Quo's in a ___, The Elite In Crowd continues to laugh, Pop! Goes the ___;
DICTATORSHIPS* USE THE PREVALENT ATTITUDES OF THE TIMES TO GAIN COMPLETE CONTROL OF THE PEOPLE; WHETHER IT BE, LIBERAL, MODERATE OR CONSERVATIVE!
*Dictatorship: A Government/Country in which absolute power is held by a Dictator and/or a "Clique"!
Previous Poem.
American Horse (Our Government) By L. Don Oliver
By destiny compelled, and in despair; The people grew tired, of their ensnare;
Weary of the promises, they were made; And for the bounty, that they had paid;
So they said, to those who were in doubt; Together we must throw, the corrupted ones out;
The people went forth, in their quest; Of the unlistening ones, they would divest;
By Political pry, an object was reared; A steed of monstrous height, soon appeared;
It's sides were all masked, in watery clay; There inside, is where the corrupted lay;
Secretly they plotted, it was their plan; All the people of the town, they would scam;
When the object was raised, above the town; It crushed the walls, and they tumbled down;
Off into the distance, the corrupted fled; Leaving that town, they had thoroughly bled;
And when the event, of morning had dawned; That town's prosperity, had all been pawned;
All this by design, for political fraud of source; So never trust their promises, nor admit their horse;
