Humanism on Life Support

November will come and the reverence for human life will go
out through the back door
as politicians will play the games  
 
Fear ran supreme and crashed the dreams of a society in which policy just doesn’t enable the rich  
for Joe told us “rich are not the problem”
 
Remember that as the income gap grows wider, stock dividends grow (they will eventually) and trust fund babies play while the rest of us scamper for a wage that won’t pay rent  
 
The senator who signed on to draconian welfare reform, a horrendous crime bill, and dissed Anita Hill
never met a weapons manufacturer he didn’t like  
 
Like Obama, Clinton, and Warren, selective indignation about campaign funding  
keep fracking alive  
lobbyist love
 
The rebirth of the Democratic Leadership Conference,  
they are now the “healers”
tell that to the people  
of Iraq, Syria, or Palestine  
 
Oh Uncle Henry your claws are evil
