There be shadows lurking in the
meadows, amongst the tall grass
they slither.

Serpent tongues they conceal,
in between teeth like daggers
they saw and hiss.

Their skin seems thick but in reality
they are so thin you can see through
their skin.

Beating on their chests like gorillas
in their trees, they pound in protest,
they think they know what's best.

While they gather inside their pens
the others are left in the cold starving
and homeless.

As they take off their skins
to reveal the piggies underneath,
squealing and hollering like *****
hogs eating all the feed as the earth
burns providing them warmth from
the cold.

All seems doomed, hopeless and bleek.

The Republicans are stealing all our
resources and money, while they
lie steal and cheat.
