suck'd

by Cynth'ya Lewis Reed — Read all 584 poems by Cynth'ya Lewis Reed

At the end of this entire piece is a link leading to a petition (in red) urging The U. S. Congress to make gas gouging a federal crime. WARNING: Below is a spicy pre-poem commentary about how I personally view all of this gas sucking. You don't have to agree, we'll still be cool.
What you are about to read may shock you, because I'm cuttin' loose the old "Gryselle Leah Bayer" character again. . .she had to some out and say something about the energy and ecomonic job prostitution of America that every other nation is getting a piece of except for the ones who built this nation. Namely, Americans (duh!)Americans are crazy. All of the sins of the nation as far a greed and inequity against the people are concerned are finally coming home to a nation whose 3 names harbor 6 letters.

Comments: The truth, from the lips on an oil truck driver who works for BP we talked to Sunday May 20 about how Oil Barons in America, owned by Saudi Arabia, dictate our lifestyle at the pump. They only pay 8 freakin' cents a gallon now how come somebody ain't writin' to their congressperson because Damien in the white house can't read squat.

Projections: $4.99 a gallon in America?

Pre-Poem Comments:
Look y'all;  Even Christians can get mad and we have provision for it in scripture but we ain't 'spose to go off buck wild about it. That's why God gave me the ability to write I'm sure because I used to be One-Dangerous-Little Black-Woman with the local editorial section in Muncie, Indiana and elsewhere. 

But I still get mad. . . I just write it out and go have a cup of green tea once the wake up call has launch'd from my fingertips.. 

For those of you who won't wet your pants when you read the "n" word you are about to see (get over it I've said it many times under my breath to people who are acting just absolutely assinine) I'll be shock'd for you. . .

"oh my, she actually typed the 'n' word!"
Okay, you're fine now. . . .

I said "nigga" and not the six letter version created by the fancy pants confederates in the north and the south. . .and people the confederates are STILL here in the form of overpriced crotchless "suits" that we did or did not legally vote for. . . .or at least they were not counted legally. . . (hmm, missing chads.  . .remember?)

If you're curious and open minded, rent Paul Mooney's movie "Jesus is black, and so was Cleopatra". Don't let the kids see it, but be able to explain to them that this nation is not divided by race; it's divided by money. Race is just an excuse used to separate us because we are ALL children of God who has many names. And whomever wrote the Bible gave God a sexual gender. How can a Spirit be a He or a She? I just call the highest power God (have you seen the stuff in this world that is created by nature. . . man ain't that bright and no big bang could put awesome beauty and color together much less have a snail from the depts of the bottom of the ocean crawl on land and become a man. If that was the case how's come all the snails didn't leave the ocean. )

Don't the undersea slime know there is money to be made off all us other poor snails who are being escargot'd out of our livelihoods???

I do not apologize for Paul because if the White House truly cared they'd be fixin' the mess they created. If when Hillary Clinton said "The White House is run like a plantation" and the only one to get upset was Ms. Laura, not Mr. 666, Not Ms. Rice who happens to be THE most powerful BLACK woman with attitude that ever was allowed to enter in the back door to play presidential footsy and that makes me absolutlely sick how she became a bush for Bush to hide in. . . . come on now why does that man leave his wife at home??? Why are his daughters party girls? What the hell do they do at those parties now??? Like Daddy's little Girls they ain't givin' oral speeches. . . ) Money and sex have always been the perfect pair and I"m sure Damien has his hot chocolate every night before reading "My Pet Goat."
 

And Now, the Not So Kind and Gentler Poem....

Americans boil a pot of rotten credit
while Iraqi take our blood
that's worth 8 cents a gallon
to fuel their deathwagons
hurting people who
are there to make the nation
fair and square --- how can they dare
play a tune of despair
the White House
does not care

bin laden missin' for days
and he ain't showin' up
until the next election
once the presidential overlords
release their cashflow erection
hard press'd against the lips
 of those who are sick
of taking in
a deficit so thick
that not even the
two edg'd sword of truth
could scrape off the 
Halliburton's vomit.

such conflict on interest
with foul intent
blaming the new niggas
the ones called "immigrants"
workin' people cheap
and taxing them not,
while those of us who love this place
watch the insane assylum
in Washington take
everything we wish we'd got

of course one dares to wonder
why this verse is so vehement,
it's not the poet you've seen before
but somebody's gotta say it. . .

"now everyone's a ni
gga"
it's a word we should not use,
but the government says it in
sign language
so why should we accept
their abuse?

This will make a Christian mad too. . . even an atheist with a heart. The Digg World blog:

QUESTION: Can you face another summer where a day trip to the lake or the beach costs you an arm and a leg? It's shaping up to be just that if we don't ask Congress to stand up to Big Oil now.  

But there a bill in the House this week that could make gas price gouging a federal crime, so we don't pay more while the oil companies rake in record profits. I signed a petition to urge my representative to pass this bill this week -- can you join me at the link below?

Projections: $4.99 a gallon in America? Let's Stop It, and MOVE ON! SIGN THE PETITION NOW!

The good news, honey, you're preaching to the choir. The bad news is that it's our own fault. Please think back to Nov. 06, election time, the approval for gwb was in the tank, but even worse, the approval rating for our elected congressional delegates was even lower than the President's...boy we show them didn't we. We put the Dems in and starting with the 110th Congress, all they've been doing is farting around.

We are the electorate and if we don't like the job our leaders are doing, then by Gawd...throw the bums outta Washington.

Six months ago, more liberal than me, friends, said let's impeach bush, cheney and the whole lot of 'em.

I don't feel any better, but now it's off my chest.

Cynth'ya...way to go girl.

Thanks,
Dan

I'm hacked off too about the gas prices. And get this: I don't even HAVE a car: I walk everywhere on a pair of crutches! Good thing I don't have to fill THEM up with gas!! I'd go broke faster'n snot! Sad how the gas people rip the little people...something needs to be done about this and SOON!! God help us!!

Cynth'ya,
You've got a firm believer here. I'm a Southern Baptist Honkey Liberal Preacher's Kid and I'm madder than Hell about what's being furled at us from close proximity, not long distance.
It takes balls the size of cantaloupes to pull what they are.

Thanks for writing something with which I see as you do.

It is obscene. George Sr. had a silver foot in his mouth according to Anne Richards. George Jr. is just a messy turd.
