RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: POEMICS
The Corruption of Moderation
Moderation is the avoidance of extremes
In behavior thought or opinion
Corruption is the distortion of behavior
Or opinion for nefarious gain
A time comes to call a horse a horses
To call a mule a mule
Let us stop playing West Virginians
And Arizonans for fools
No one anywhere votes for a Democrat
Because they don’t want to tax the wealthy
There are a whole lot of Arizona elders
Who just want a chance to stay healthy
The good working people of West Virginia
Have never been in love with coal
Ask them and they will tell you twice
They just want out of the hole
The sorry truth is both senators
Are on the corporate dole
One is beholden to pharmaceuticals
The other is beholden to coal
Stop pretending that moderation
Is the central reason we are stuck
When in fact the honorable senators
Sold their souls for a lousy buck
