in
multiple dimensions
of
tired old men in suits & uniforms
a
good helping of corruption helps
young
whippersnappers
empty
sloganeering
cash
on the barrelhead
as
long as it's middle east crude
if
you can show there's a
'constituency'
for
your fickle
start
an exploratory committee
tweet
every intonation out your butt
as
if it's an original fart
profound or visionary
and be sure and copyright it
before the debates begin
but
an honest polemic doesn't end here
there
was a different time and place
maybe
there still is
the iroquois confederation
never
ran ads
or
built golf courses
or
sang god bless america
the
land and rivers still speak a common language
humans
crawl through millennia
before
standing erect
learning
the seasons
growing
and harvesting
teaching
the children
songs
without borders
from
every forest
to
every leaf
