In All Fairness to People

A government taking into account
The power to act on folks’ behalf;
An action of bailout, a hefty amount,
To tax the richer, as the poorer just laugh…

The ideals learned: to help the troubled –
With socialist doctrine, we save those stung,
By economic ruin, whose costs have tripled;
A financial burden – the fat lady has sung!

The gains posted, unreal and ill-gotten –
While conservatism wanes as our guest.
Subjective matters, so cruel and rotten,
Simply leave us to beg and protest…

Let us imagine the worthwhile gains
Of a determined America’s recaptured spirit,
And hope that our legislators grab hold of the reins
Of our non-Capitalist, bailout-spending culprit!
