Promoting General Welfare

Knowing nothing of axiomatic things
Trads claim liberals are always at fault
while slavishly revering mad kings
and their authoritarian gestalt,
so much so they think they own liberty
and the bluest skies where her nature thrives
from sea to crude oil polluted sea
tainting all but aristocratic lives
as they crush that old American dream
where the effort of the poorest old slob
to live out their years as those dreams may deem
without being dependent on a job
that never had respect for any dreams...
that didn't exploit poor self-esteems.
