A Poem for Palin

I’m becoming a hermit.

The hours and hours I permit

Myself to listen to the news

Is laughable.

On the face of it

I’m informed, I have wit,

But I continue to commit

Myself to hearing the conservative shit. 

I want to quit.

But this fear in the pit

Of my stomach

Makes me grit

my teeth and listen.

Know thy enemy.

I’m scared.

But this fear that they hit us with

Is how they git

Us to submit

OUR RIGHTS.

So I listen.

And I listen.

Are they lit?

Wait wait wait wait wait

Just a bit.

They want to recommit

Us to Iraq indefinitely?

They want to take a drill bit

To a National Wildlife Reserve?

There was a reverse stock split?

They turned a surplus into a

Massive budget deficit?

They want to pass a judicial writ

So I have no choice?

Will I have a voice?

Of course.

A voice that can be heard

On my phone

which they’ve wiretapped.

McCain is going down on the Evangelicals

And Bush is fucking America in the ass

I hate to be crass

But FUCK BUSH.

Unfortunately, we have

Abstinence-only education

so kids these days don’t even know how to

Fuck bush safely. 

We need to end this Republican reign

For Palin and McCain

Are a conservative curse.

They’re not more of the same,

They're frighteningly worse.
