 Contemporary poetry by Dan Donlan

THE JOB IS NOT DONE


As a young man I left home
To serve my country in the military
As you know the praise I have
for those who are doing so today
Those that are bleeding blood
So our country is free
The evil of our enemies
are being defeated one by one
But sorry to say at home
There are evil men selling their blood
In the name of greed
One by one they are selling our veterans blood
You well find them at the head of companies
Chevron, Shell, BP make your own list
Pure greed selling out their country
While our soldiers have been away
They have been at home selling out their country
I say the job is not done fighting evil
Until these bleeding bastards
Are also made to pay for their crimes
The oil they are overpricing is your blood
Today the price of a barrel of oil dropped two percent
At the end of the summer when vacations end
And there is less need for gasoline
The price of gas well drop somewhat
In the meantime the oil company makes several
billion dollars of profit and the CEO's
Multimillions each one in profit
This goes on in most every major business
People we are being led into disaster
Remember when Brazil was a rich country?
Remember when you could afford to feed your family
No political candidate in either side well change this
Surely not Obama who wants this country to fail
Nor Romney who is one of the filthy rich
The only change well come when the masses wake up
But then I am sorry to say it well be too late
Is this political enough for you?
