Guarantee ye, there in good ol Stoneham…
are a baker’s dozen fat old men sittin in front
of golf games on HDef home theatre screens
in high HIGHest-end gated housing projects,
with mammoth golden parachutes the likes
of Caesar’s pomp & circumstance: …Get
a crane & lift ‘em & look under their asses,
there you’ll find the earnest money your schools’
most Creative Art & Athletic programs used to see.
The public purse is tormented to the brink. Said
promises, promises, only make bona fide pledges
to vast retiring hierarchal monarchs, oh like a
black hole where the …Community Chest has
gone. I know this is tangential to the thread,
& an oversimplification of a far more perceptive
discussion being hashed-out by the aforementioned
rootin-tootins herein, …but in a way it’s not. I understand
Reg’s concern. Have all along. There’s a zit that could get popped here,
& if it does it could make th Rodney King uprising look like a bar fight.
Unrest leads to tension, sustained unrest upon…sustained unrest,
even with a growing means to discussion and…understanding,
could send this pulse-pounder into chaos the likes of which our
happenin shores have not known since just after th gold rush.
This may only be the pindrop occurrence before a topple.
It may not even be this to stem…but a guidepost to a stimulus.
A stimulus that this country needs/doesn’t need, feeds/doesn’t feed.
There’re are just too many opportunistic [Ulster Scots…hehe]
looking to bite off a chaw & cock a round into the chamber.
So you say you want a revolution, we-ll you know….
A crack in a dam leads to a hole. This is only one
crack. Reason should prevail. But the wolves
may actually be in sheep’s clothing this time,
…& the other wolves , yeah wolves vs. wolves,
may be in cotton Dickeys, sippin sun tea & freaking.
Both sides of the story may have an evocative bone to pick.
One has the letter of the law & years of bookwork…but may
Have become muscle to the monetary morosites in the thick of it.
Public service gone pesticide service in servitude to the influential.
Like clockwork, nary a doubt about it, gnarly superiority complex,
Lookin out over the din, …do we see a paladin wielding Excalibur?
Two angry packs: One really big as a bully & one, small and wooly;
an also-ran, there w/ its hackles up in a bunch through a murky clime
o the greatest oppression this locale has known in how long a time?
a NUKE THE FUCKERS! mentality won’t suffice here. NO.
Okay, nevermind, it’s cool, we see your point, we’ll pay, hey
do anyone of youns officers have Policeman’s Ball tickets?
Ain’t gona happen probably? Helicopters and bigger &
bigger threats by the feds, probably. More shootin @
half-naked guys with no pooper-scoopers, probably.
& after-the-math, who will remember…as we wake-
off…into another diversionary soap opera synopsis
so kindly provided by the TV & the lefties & the swiftboater ilk?
I say the next President of this country should take the dais between these two opposing factions and SOLVE the problem with amazing clarity and the utmost definition of Truth, Justice, & the American Way. & There is the person I’d vote for in 2008. I would have voted for Superman, for he had nothing at all clandestine in his design, but low he died.
~~
sheez! this is their sale-point…right off the website…heheh:
Stoneham, Massachusetts is a community that is attractive to families and business, has a valued education system that addresses the needs of all who live in the community, enjoys a wide variety of cultural and recreational programs, has a distinct sense of place in its neighborhoods and business districts, and is built on the foundation of New England tradition and the values of the diversity of people that live and work in the community. & the grandest of the Grandiose will rock themselves to sleep at night knowing we will legislate the hoi-polloi to the bone guaranteeing the wealth of the heirs & heiresses to the throne.
[Disclaimer: The last sentence for sake of parody only, certainly.]
