Just deserts
by Gerald Bosacker
November 27, 2004

Concerns for poor will go away,
compassion ends election day.
Our kids are left with debt to pay,
A penalty that we deserve.

The GOP knew how to win,
with web of lies they still must spin
and we believed, to our chagrin.
Another Bush, we must deserve.

We fell for their refund bait
that gave the rich the real rebate
and let those guilty celebrate,
so now we have what we deserve.

The press who pose as ears and eyes
have sold their right to criticize
to moneyed rich who advertise.
When will they get what they deserve?
