This is a poem I wrote in 2009 during the fight over affordable health care. People (and I use the
term loosely to describe the fox news nuts) were more worried that the insurance companies and their multi-million a year ceo's might have to give up a few shekels than the 40 million people without health insurance.

The Insurance Executives Are Laughing

 

Their asses off. They

Have to be,

Watching this

Great outpouring of

Sympathy for their cause.

People are yelling, carrying

Signs saying

Give more to the companies

We’re worried the CEO’s

Won’t make enough money.

 

And yet, it’s hard

To hear the executives

Laughing over the

Raucous uproar

Of the corporate lobbyists

And their minions,

The Republicans.
