Go fuck yourselves you stupid hicks
You dumb destructive yahoo pricks
You morons all on Cruz control
Who’d suck our nation down a hole
Because you cannot stand the fact
The White House occupant is black
You idiots without a clue
As to why, as to who
You’re carrying the water for
The scumbag Kochs, the schmuck Limbaugh
You zombie ghouls who’d suffocate
Us all with your abiding hate
Who march in lock-step boor by boor
To take food from the mouths of poor
To take all succor from the sick
Lunatic by lunatic
Maniac by maniac
You vote to push us further back
Unhinged by ideology
You do not hear, you do not see
Nor do you weep, nor do you care
As you watch the fabric tear
But rather you seem pleased as punch
That your little ugly bunch
Can bring more hardship to us all
By heart so cold, by mind so small
By blackmail and by outright lie
To those who you know will comply
Because of all the hate they hold
Hate that keeps them in your fold
Hate you count on to burn bright
As you drag us into night
From which you hope there’s no return
Until the crosses once more burn
Be they real or figurative
For there’s no way you can live
In a country who’d elect a man
Whose skin is black – or even tan
And so I say once more to you
Go fuck yourselves you motley crew
Of cretins, morons, hicks and rubes
Thieves and liars, oafs and boobs
All around you there’s the whiff
Of death as you march towards the cliff
And as you tumble Lemming-like
To your demise a match will strike
And then one more, and then, and then
The light will shine for all again
For you’ll be gone altho’ your smell
Will linger – as you burn in hell

So much hatred towards “Obamacare”–I’m pretty sure it’ll be reasonably screwed-up, since the government is involved, but it’s an honest attempt at an improvement in health insurance, so I say bring it on. What the haters don’t seem to take into account is that our current Medicaid, Medicare, and higher costs of those of us “lucky enough to be insured” (I robbed $3500 out of my retirement this year for one surgery because my Fortune 500-company-sponsored insurance has a $4K yearly out-of-pocket max, instead of the old $2K) are ALREADY costing every taxpayer gobs of money, because the only care the uninsured can get is expensive emergency room care, or care “written off” by hospitals and clinics (and transferred into everyone else’s costs). So the gist of this long comment is that I think the folks, the ones who don’t think the poor deserve health care?–they’ll be saving money in the long run with “Obamacare”, because some of the “undeserving” will be able to help pay their own way. Time will tell.
Great poem, by the way.
