A Bit of Frustration with Deep South Status Quo

To the Middle-Aged White Man:

Making policy decisions

Like you think you own the land,

Why show up at the Capitol

In your classic beige sedan,

And try to pork the law

To benefit your fans?

Your actions thinly veiled

From a modern-day white Klan,

You decide for one whole state

Based on opinions of one man.

You cheated on the last campaign,

You shouldn't have reran,

All to elevate you,

To sprawl out your wingspan,

To keep your lazy lifestyle,

To elevate your brand,

When we wish you'd go curl under

Your wife's home-knit afghan,

Spend time with lofted 'family'

Instead of watching girls cancan,

Leave off the gin and tonic

And go drink beer from a can,

Go home where your ideals

Can blanche and get a tan,

Where you'll see what you are doing,

And learn the world firsthand.

Go back to where your selfish self

Can learn to be a Man,

And leave the laws of State

To be designed and planned,

Where common sense has value,

Where the weight of rationality can

Become the leading factor,

Can your 'ideals' withstand,

Can lead to smart decisions,

And laws so firm in hand

That for once they seem to come

From All and not White Man.
