My conservative poem:

The Board Members

This "world class" city
can afford all their plans,
They'll build a new stadium,
that will fill up with fans.

(Young Tyrone sleeps
in a small corner,
inviting to rats
in a small apartment,
in this "world class" city.)

They'll make zoning rules,
that control what gets built.
It'll only take a "small" bribe,
to make the planning board tilt.

(Young Tyrone wakes up
to start a new day,
He'll have oats for breakfast,
as he usually does,
in this "world class" city.)

They'll raise the home-owner's taxes,
to pay for their schemes
They'll say "It's for the children",
and their award-winning teams.

(Young Tyrone leaves for school,
where the message is clear,
"Poor kids are burdens,
who are too stupid to learn.")

"We worship the poor,"
our leaders declare.
"We build homes for them:
Can't you tell that we care?"

(Young Tyrone used to think
one day he'd be President
like Abraham Lincoln,
then he found out
that all white people were bad.)

The board members plan
their annual retreat,
They will golf as they bond,
and have all they can eat.

(Young Tyrone is home
after a day of "character building".
He wonders what he will do,
when he discovers his little sister
got to eat the last saltines. )

The valiant leaders of the city
use their race to control,
Oblivious that their greed,
is taking its toll.

(Young Tyrone's mother
comes home without food.
She can't find a job
in this "world class" city.)

Businesses are closing,
because there are too many rules.
The city leaders don't mind,
since "small business owners are fools".

(The big companies
that give money to build
public places,
don't hire people like
Young Tyrone's mom.)


The conservatives move out,
The liberals move in,
The "world class" city decays,
But the leaders still win.

(Young Tyrone grows up
and he never learns
what it takes to succeed.
Cause his teachers only told him
how he was suppressed.)

Do we have an email address?
