Race to the Bottom

 .

Article link: Reid Raises Race

The reset button didn’t work.

The Arab Street’s aflame.

ObamaCare is off its rails.

The jobless rate’s the same.

 .

The Peeping Toms of government

Are snooping through our mail.

Michelle is pushing little kids

To feed on sprouts and kale.

 .

The IRS and FEC

Are playing off the sheet.

Our consulates and embassies

Are forced into retreat.

.

But if you deign to criticize,

The mammoth mess we’re in,

Your motive must be based upon

The color of his skin.

 .

For only willful prejudice

And bigotry of mind,

Prevents embrace of presidents

Who lead us from behind.

My goal is to produce poetical cartoons. I try to use metaphors and caricatures (or a politician’s own words) to address complex political and social situations. In this way, I sum up current events in humorous verse.
