“Down above all with love,”
The party’s hue and cry,
“For we can’t get enough
Except we bleed you dry.”
This was the party’s slogan yelled
Throughout the land, however
It must conceal the view it held
By euphemisms clever.
“We must have law and order” meant
“We must put down the poor,”
“Free Enterprise” tacit consent
To work and bleed them more.
“We must put up a wall to keep
The rapists from intruding”
Meant let their labor be had cheap,
With no Beatituding.
“I am a Christian” means “I love
Money before all else,
Heaven for me here and above,
For you let there be hells.”
“The poor and weak and destitute—
Let sicken unto death”
Means “Let their foul smell not pollute
Air from which I draw breath.”
Republicans are very kind
In their imaginations,
But when it comes to life, not mind,
Preach and enforce privations.
“Down above all with love,”
The party’s hue and cry,
“For we can’t get enough
Except we bleed you dry.”
