Being coptered to my safe compound, I actually believe I’m
worth my millions in salary and bonuses
We assure our Offshored they need only wait for the better
new jobs coming Real Soon Now
Driving my hybrid 90 miles a day feeling like, you know
what, I’m really making a difference here
We fill cute green cotton bags with water-wasting,
slave-produced food shipped thousands of miles
Violently rejecting taxation while remaining purposely
silent on reducing costs or cutting benefits
Fleecing the faithful for money, power and sex, as sales
reps for wornout and fictional gods
Pushing FeelGood sustainable solutions but never mentioning
necessary drastic population reductions
Glorifying the infallibility of unregulated markets while
whining for subsidies and import tariffs
Assiduously recycling all my paper for shipment to china,
merely to package more plastic imports
Demanding a faith-based administration but shouting that the
same government stay out of our lives
Hypnotizing the lower class with clever hate speech while on
the payroll of the corporate elite
Knowing our God is love as we heed His jealous demand that
we smite His heathen enemies
Plastisizing my car with earth-friendly slogans made in
toxic sweatshops by exploited illegales
Feeding the world with a patented seed, genetically modified
to require our costly pesticides
Abandoning old suburbs for that newly-bulldozed but
carbon-neutral and greener tomorrow
Hard-selling funds we purposely stuffed with crap, even as
we ourselves hedge big against them
Calling for an end to greedy development threatening the
gorgeous viewshed from my own new home
Gouging the bourgeois with pricey lifestyle drugs as we
ignore the global disease scourges of the poor
Hanging a cute puppy calendar right by the table where I lay
out our tasty but tortured family veal
Deliberately warping all their proposed legislation while
damning the deceptions of the other side
Howling for freedom from government even as we condemn its
lack of quick emergency response
Rebranding an unchanged, business as usual as some new,
patriotic clean-coal energy independence
Paying huge premiums for USDA organics uninspectedly coming
from, of all places, china
Posing as independent cowboy heroes, trampling
predator-freed public lands with our welfare cattle
Posturing obesely in a loud and ugly pickup that I certainly
don’t need and really can’t afford
Trumpeting the virtues of a foot-dragging negativism to whip
up an ignorant anger in the alt-right
Holding guilt-free to the decision made with my personal
savior to smite religious fundamentalism
Praising our sacred Human Resources even as we plot
to outsource them and renege on their pensions
Ever proclaiming our holocaust suffering while we wall the
Palestinians into a hot, desert ghetto
Parroting your donor propaganda to reframe science into an
empty and politicized media debate
Subsidizing Wall Street Cons to pimp phony carbon offsets
and Ponzi cap and trade scams
Demanding soil conservation as I endlessly fertilize,
pesticide, cut and water my fakely-green lawn
Rapping out that yes-yes, we can-can change: and backdoor
dealing just like we always have-have
Grazing swinishly at the rich troth of absolutely
unquestionable and ever-increasing arms outlays
Nurturing a fat, ignorant pride on Doritos, Twinkies, beer,
generic cigarettes and cheap hamburg
Living the lie that it’ll all somehow make sense in the end, during some, real fuzzy,
happy-ever-after
