As I Lay Dying
In the richest country on the earth
In the richest country of all time
Still there was a health care dearth
Still there was the party line
Of the corporatists and capitalists
As I Lay Dying
I still have no health care
In the richest country of all time
Still there was a health care dearth

I still have no health care
The Militia Movement
Militia soldier in the woods
Firing-off live ammo rounds,
Defender of our neighborhoods,
No need to be underground!
Let us know of your services
So we can come and evaluate;
Soon you will be nicely housed
Where you can make the license plate.

Mike Bloomberg's Commandments
(for the restaurant industry)
Thou serve'st thy patron too much salt
His hypertension shalt be thy fault
Thou sautee'st his meat in fat
Thou couldst end up in court for that
He spillst hot coffee in his lap
Thou art takin the hit for that
So much sugar in his donut sprinkles!
Thou art liable for his belly wrinkles
He slice'st himself with too sharp a knife
Thou couldst soon be doin life
Thy customer's grown fat and squat
Thou hath not fed him as one ought
He turnst ugly, way unfashionable
His lack-a-mojo is now actionable
All he canst do is dream-n-snoozeth
Desire for the wife hath been removethed
Now all he wisheth for is food
(Only thing that lift'th his mood)
If thou hadst served brown rice and peas
Thou wouldst not be on thy legal knees
