Whodunit? U ask
Big oil companies
hold the world stage in angst-
Do U wonder Y?
Major distraction
takes Peoples eye off the ball-
Here’s hidden story
The Nation on-line

Should shock & awe U
(To: Robber Barons
UBS as in U B
Shit; LGT 2)
Wealthy steal billions

Tax havens 4 hire
How 2 fleece & skin the Peeps?
Off-shore profits, ho!
Tax evasion dough?
Need look no further than Swiss
and Liecht of Europe
“A company is..
only as ethical as

What a stinging and stunning bit of poetry and philosophy! Makes me want to whip out a companion piece to 4-BUCK GAS. You touch on so much that is wrong with this country. We are held up, and bent over, and raped and pillaged, and taken advantage of; more so than almost any other time in our history. Even so, some of us saw it coming back in the early 70’s when the oil barons figured out how to manipulate us into believing there were gas shortages, and we had to endure those horrendous long gas lines, and could only buy it on certain days. It is Republican Fascism. It is Imperialist Arrogance. It is George W. Bush and his boys treating us like slaves, like punk bitches to be used for their pleasure. Add to that the New Crusades, and what a scenario to be plopped on the plate of our newest President. And if it is Obama, which I hope, he will have to suit up like Iron Man to prevent assassination by some misguided redneck sonofabitch who was not ready for a black man as leader, was not ready for the 21st century. In the meantime, you rant on, girl. I like your style and your point of view.
