be afraid... be very afraid

agendas are at risk
and so is your house and car and life
so do what they want
and vote for what they want when they want
and fear where you tread
and why you tread
for we are at war with the brown nomadic people
and staying the course is foremost
because the course is where we’ve been
and the rest is the unknown
and we have to fear the unknown
because that is almost as bad as the brown nomadic people
for they are not anchored
and we are
with real estate
and property taxes
and property rights that are god given
and we know we must fear the invisible man
because ideology soothes wayward biology
and avenging vengeance with battle cry’s toward the opposite
and if we don’t do what they say
what they want
and when they want it
because our way of life is at risk
and we must fear risk when we can’t control it
because they can control it with exit polls
and legislate profits with lawyers
but we have to play by their rules
because if we are afraid we’ll buy oodles of things
and that makes us feel safe
and the fear of not feeling safe is something to be afraid of
so lay down that plastic with a great exuberance
and hope we bomb the brown nomadic people
because we need to feel safe
forever…
