The Money System In a Nutshell: How the Rich get Richer and Why We Never Do
15 June 2008, 05:20
I thought you’d like to check out the political allegory of mine that I recently found a literary agent for. It’s a story set in the context of a teacher discussing with his class all of the evidence that the Bush administration is as corrupt as it is incompetent; and how to rectify the Constitutional crisis we face. It’s couched in a discussion about the urgent need to stop abusing Mother Nature. I wrote in 3 dozen celebrities to play the students, so it’s very funny despite how infuriating it is. You can read it at www.stoplittering.com/theswitch.htm and, yes, StopLittering.com is my site.
And enjoy this poem of mine…
If Jesus Were Alive Today
If Jesus were alive today,
He’d surely feel despair,
Amidst a world of plenty,
And a bounty that’s not shared.
If Jesus were alive today,
He wouldn’t understand,
The system of oppression,
And how so few give a damn.
If Jesus were alive today,
He’d certainly be distraught,
Because the animals of Earth,
Are not treated as they ought.
If Jesus were alive today,
His eyes would have some tears,
And based on all the evidence,
I’d say he was sincere.
If Jesus were alive today,
He’d have to jump and shout,
To wake us from our slumber:
"THE FUTURE IS IN DOUBT!!"
If Jesus were alive today,
You know he’d try in vain,
To save us from each other...
(No doubt he’d go insane.)
If Jesus were alive today,
I expect we’d be rebuked;
It is likely he’d remark:
"Knock it off before I puke."
If Jesus were alive today,
No way he’d vote for Bush;
To those who say he should,
He’d say,"Kiss my tush!"
If Jesus were alive today,
With Bushies he’d be pissed:
"Ignorance is no defence!
Otherwise, get yourself a psychiatrist."
If Jesus were alive today,
He’d put John Kerry in his place,
As the world’s lamest candidate:
"Why’d they even let that Jackass race?!"
If Jesus were alive today,
Boy, would Congress get a smack,
For practically everything they’ve done,
Especially for trusting Jr. with Iraq.
If Jesus were alive today,
He’d say the media was to blame:
"Don’t think I haven’t noticed,
That you people have no shame."
If Jesus were alive today,
The Democrats he would scorn,
For keeping out Wes Clark:
"Was it yesterday these fools were born?!"
If Jesus were alive today,
His sense of humor would be great.
Too wry, perhaps, for some,
But that’s how he’d get laid.
If Jesus were alive today,
He’d be branded as a cynic,
Because no one wants to hear,
If it’s raining at their picnic.
If Jesus were alive today,
He’d force us all to see,
That hope and love are the answer,
To who we’re supposed to be.
