The headlines were like jabs in the heart,
every day a new assault,
our grandkids dying far away,
rampant torture of our prisoners
Habeus Corpus disembodied,
the world's increasing disapproval,
the national rift ever widening.
How did we hang in through this nightmare?
We fretted about our children's and our grandchildren's survival
physically and spiritually
in the dark cave our country became.
There was no light
One day, a glimmer beamed through the darkness.
We waited in acute suspense
hoping it would illuminate our black chamber.
Hours, days, months ticked by
while the light maddeningly flashed on and off
And, then, finally, our cavern was flooded with golden sunshine.
The people's voices cried out in joy and
the dim cell transformed into a garden of luminous multiple colors.
We were home again at long last.
The media
they feedya
sensation not sense
you, public, so dense,
allow them to leadya
They milk the inane
until we’re insane
They fixate on Palin
day out and day in
until we’re in pain
They’re hung up on Hill
obsessed about Bill
They force feed us Brittney
Expose ev’ry titty
until we feel ill
Why can’t they relate
succinctly and straight
the substantive news
devoid of their views
Let us calculate
our eventual fate
