Type F for Freedom

Land of the Free,
Home of the Brave,
I'm so poor,
I've no money to save!

This that,
Here there,
Automatic wirelessly,
Its all square.

Free storage,
Memory pods,
Economic boom,
Unending blogs.

Yellow-brick road is winding,
Oz's witches keep us grinding,
America is fallen to the wayside,
Deeper ditches we keep finding.

Interrogatory tell,
Web ADs smell,
Oops gate open,
Internet gone to Hell!

Washington censors rap,
Anti-piracy slap,
Outlaw the tents,
While Occupy naps.

Freedom gone awry,
Go ahead and cry,
"How now Brown Cow?"
Farm's foreclosed anyhow.

Bankers and brokers,
Gentleman smokers,
Jokers have all gone off,
To join the Hippie tokers.

What's old is new,
What's news is old,
See my newspaper blanket?
We are all bought and sold.

Let's have a Tea-party we sit in the shade,
Sitting on a limb drinking sour lemonade,
While the branches under us they keep sawing,
Smoking like bandits we keep on Hee-Hawing.

Donkey and Elephant,
Peter and Paul,
Newt and Mitt,
God save us all.

ROCKIE ... ACCURATE SYNOPSIS ...

MY OPINION IS THAT THE 'BIRTH' OF THE CORPORATION AS A LEGAL ENTITY,
WAS THE BEGINNING OF THE 'DOWNFALL.' COMMERCIAL ADVERTISEMENTS ...
NEW - IMPROVED - BETTER - NEWER - MORE IMPROVED - GOODEST !!!
AMERICANS 'SWALLOWED' IT 'HOOK, LINE, AND SINKER'!

THEN, THE EPITOME OCCURRED LAST YEAR, WHEN THE ILLUSTRIOUS,
'BOUGHT AND PAID FOR' A-HOLES OF THE SUPREME COURT GAVE
CORPORATIONS OPEN 'CARTE BLANCHE'!

COVERT, 'BACK-DOOR' DEALS AND SECRET 'FINANCING' JUST WASN'T
FAST ENOUGH ... WANT TO 'KILLTHE DRAGON'? CUT ITS UGLY HEAD OFF?

RE-DEFINE 'CORPORATIONS' ... MAKE THEM ACCOUNTABLE - PROSECUTABLE -
PUNISHABLE - ALONG WITH THEIR CEO'S AND BOARDS OF DIRECTORS ...

CRIPPLE 'THEM' ... AND SAVE AMERICA! TOM.

Seems to me that freedom went awry shortly after WW II and haven't come back since. And whoever tries to work the political machine to get it back, no matter how high they climb, will be shortly overturned by biblethumpin tea-sippers who suffer from a seriously distorted view of reality.

A great commentary on our political times. It's amazing how the Internet has helped us make much ado about nothing and refocus our lives away from the essential nature of things.

Very creative and as funny as the Republican squabble over who was going to be their lackluster candidate.

God save the Queen but forget about the USA.

Ron

PS. Love that little swipe at ADers

Tyrann(y)asaurus (w)Rex v4 by RickthePoetWarrior

That I hope soon to be extinct dinosaur, our government, is bludgeoned and beaten as thoroughly as the freedom of the law lets me without jail time.
