What the Heck?

As the GOP was stopped by a train wreck, they need to pause and examine at that retreat what direction they are taking the country. They are not making the country great riding the track they are on.

What the Heck?


What the heck?
GOP's agenda's a train wreck.

Cow jumped over the blue, bloodied moon,
tax reform come to roost very soon.

Get your little money and spend it quick,
boost the economy; that's the trick.

Stock market's reached an all-time bubble,
overextended like this means big trouble.

Meanwhile, paychecks are not keeping up,
big boys' accounts runneth over their cup.

Amazon is monopolizing all healthcare,
don't buy from monopolies--beware.

Retail stores rapidly cutting their staff,
compared, coal miners are just fluff.

Welfare will not be able to handle the flood,
workfare is required or there will be blood.

Nearsighted thinking is running the show,
get while the getting's good, then go.

Off to your gated community retreat,
retired and insulated from the street.

What the heck is going on we say?
What's wrong with everyone earning good pay?

Everything shows this country is great,
why do we discover that way too late?

Not just the GOP - the entire government. A tsunami is coming. Make sure you have a life preserver.

We need a THIRD party. The 2 we have are done. One blames the other and NOTHING ever gets done. Want to run? I didn't think so. Nor I. Amen!

The GOP is definitely a train wreck, but sometimes I see them as being more like lemmings, marching to their own destruction.

This is so truthful and ultimately quite scary..I have always said Politicians will never help you, help your self. Grow a garden, get a few chickens take care of yourself. Right now they are doing just that right? helping themselves! I don't believe any party is there to help you, but I realize that is odd!

Ron, your words are profound. The "Geist" of America has always been great. We've made many mistakes, no question, but the beauty of the idea of America has been a step forward for mankind. It's hard to see the trainwreck we're all watching now. Thanks for a great poem.

Yep, what a mess! Feels like a kindergarten fight over tinker toys.

A timely and entertaining bit of much needed levity. Without this kind of relief, the remaining sanity in this country could turn into a giant Jones Town suicide
