Poetry: "Loudmouth Drunk"

           Loudmouth Drunk

           Why did we ever put up with your bunk?

           Just have another drink

           So then you won't have to think

           Loudmouth Drunk

           Why did we ever put up with your junk?

            Have yourself another beer

             And act just like a horse's rear...

Poetry: "Drip, Drip, Drip"

Poetry:  "Drip, Drip, Drip... "

        Drip, Drip, Drip

        Your sink it leaks

        Been wasting water for many weeks

        You could always call a plumber

         But you'll be incensed by the pricey number

        Drip, Drip, Drip

        The blood it seeps

         Attracting monsters from the deep

         Or vampiric creatures as they creep... (tbc?)

Poetry:  "Steal, Steal, Steal"

       Steal, Steal, Steal

       For your next meal

       A felon don't care how you feel

       Even if you call the cops

       Doesn't mean they'll ever stop

       Even if they rot in jail

       Another crook will pay his bail

       If a felon has a gun 

       Often means you better run

       If he wields a real sharp knife

       You just may lose your wretched life... (tbc?)

    

Poetry: "Take, Take, Take"

Poetry:  "Take, Take, Take"

       Take, Take, Take

       Their Remorse is Fake

       Toward commoners it's  "Let them eat cake".

        At the public trough they feed

        Can't satisfy their unbridled greed... (tbc?)

               "Spend, Spend, Spend"

           Spend, Spend, Spend

           That is the trend

           Bankruptcy's around the bend

           Credit cards are to the max

           And the taxman's on our backs

          Don't pay your bills on time?

          They'll try to take your every dime

            If you can't pay off your loan

            Repo-man come(s) to your home.

          Are you spending all your money?

          The IRS won't think it's funny.

          If you don't have spending cash

          Best set aside a monthly stash

          Or your future will be trashed

          It ain't no fun to be in debt

          But if your rich you are all set.

            Spend, Spend, Spend

            That is the trend

            Bankrupty's around the bend

            Credit cards are all maxed out

            And your future is in doubt.

             In winter's cold and summer's heat

            It really sucks out on the street.

            

 

 

           

Essay: "The Insidious Threat of Censorship", Part 19

Essay: "The Insidious Threat of Censorship", Part 19 of 19

       Since moralists are vastly outnumbered, it is about time that counter-fanatic and anti-censorship groups be formed. Until people finally stand up against these self-appointed morality police, freedom of action and choice will always be in jeopardy. To curtail censorship, boycott any company, politician, or whoever gives-in to these anencephalic moralists . It would also be a wise idea to let the Federal Communications Commission (the FCC), editors, publishers, radio/tv station owners, etc. kno that you hope they will not give-in to any pressure or threats exerted by these morality groups. But, if we remain complacent and do nothing, we will all deserve to lose our freedom and rights.

Essay: "The Insidious Threat of Censorship", Part 18 of Several

  What can you do?:

       It is about time that people stop tolerating these so-called self-appointed  'moralists' and morality groups. If I won  $10 million from Ed McMahon, I would be willing to buy one-way plane tickets to Iran or other backwards theocracies for any pesky moralists, provided they promised to never come back again. As far as I'm concerned, most of these moralists qualify as terrorists, since they often hold Freedom of Speech and the Bill of Rights hostage. For the most part, these piss-ant moralists are like mosquitoes. If we let them run amok, they can wreak a lot of havoc on all our collective rights. On the other hand, if you step on them, they are likely rendered harmless.  (to be cont'd)
