The Undecided Few

Ah...the most coveted voter,

The undecided few; 

Nameless; faceless 

Could this be you?

Uncle Sam...Wants You!

Tim Hudak...Wants You !

Kathleen Wynne...Wants You!

Andrea Horwath's too new!

Voters should ask:
Who started the contemptible trend,

Of tying Canadian parties to the one at the helm?
Was it Conservatives and their American friends?

What party locked us into, this obsequious realm?

Did Liberal statecraft predict this day would portend? 

So we, on American style politics must now depend?

To keep Canadians mired in a swamp of political woe 

Of polemical party policies that drags us below. 

One must admit how sneaky this move,

We barely did blink, now we behoove
The insidious American custom of icon politics
 Canada's party system needs a heretic.

Vote for a Party government to replace,

Our beholden placarded face! 

We don't need a sweater vest race,

Nor a stylish, young ace.

Lack of media concern, is a darn disgrace!

Whoever are the undecided few,

Do you want a party dictator outside of plain view?

Where ministers are bullied and decisions are too!

How about a party whose ministers are accountable to you?

Fiscal Man: The Caped Abator

                                           Michael Keaton

Tim Hudak!

Who dat?
A real Canadian superhero come to trim the fat?

At first glance he looks like Michael Keaton; 

Sure they're both actors,

You decide, which one's the cretin.

Keaton hasn't had a hit since Batman was in season
Hudak never had an original idea within reason
"Ever dance with the devil in the pale moonlight?"
Every joker wants his moment in the bright spotlight

"This town needs an enema" is right
Will Ontarians find their way through the Dark Knight?

Will Tim Hudak be our caped crusading premier?
Single handedly putting tax cuts in gear.
Holy deficit Hudak!
Back to the Bat Cave at Queens Park,
Time to take Ontarians out of the dark.

Slash and burn is certainly no crime.
Maybe you should cut pensions this time?
Make subduing the evil villain, deficit; job one!
Unwind social programs till they're completely undone!
Like your Ottawa partner the federal Man of Steel
Tell Ontarians only you can give the best deal!

Scare voters into believing the Riddler has a twin
Say your arch nemesis is a Liberal named Kathryn Wynne
Blame Liberal spending for Ontario being in the "fiscal ditch"
But don't tell them your policies only benefits the rich
It's called wedge politics; where its focus you switch,
You make contentious arguments;
With no new ideas,
 and no believable plan
Conservatives pretend to be populists, by hating on the taxman

We've all seen this awful movie before
It always ends badly and makes us more poor
Don't bother with the popcorn it's a real snore
Like Canadian politics and politicians, it's a real bore!

Riddle me this Hudak:
What's big and fat
Pinned to Ontarians back
Has 9 zeros and is just plain wack?

You see, like I said, nothing new here,
Same old capitalizing off all our fear
Liberals and Conservatives both claim to care
And become parodies of each other year after year.

Political Fortunes Grow In Ontario

"Winner Winner

Chicken, dinner"!
Lay down your wager,
Like a Vegas player!

Betcha Rob Ford
Will be
Toronto's next mayor!

Like Ali G
Would say
"Da meedja"
Don't need ya
Wikipedia
To see
The big man schemed ya

They made it all about crack
Because he wasn't black
Chief Blair opened his trap
Helped Mayor Ford beat the wrap              
It would've biased the case
The Province lost face
A damn disgrace
For Toronto The Chaste              

In Ontario
The Public's purse
Always gets snatched
By political schemes             
That get hatched
Like gas plants
That get scratched

We have to stand firm                                  
No more than one term,
Can a politician earn!
Only minority governments.
Let the system burn!

When will you learn?
A political party forms a government
Here's the difference,
Discern!
A political party's like a maggot
And a government like a worm

Government was invented for the people
Political Party's use       government for evil,
Like making promises that are feeble,
Lack of transparency should be illegal.

Mental Illness: The Case of Kelly Thomas

Kelly Thomas prior to being homeless                         After Police Beating

In this Neoliberal New World Order,
Mental illness is stopped at the border.
Interrogated, jailed and criminalized,                        
Excoriated by evil police eyes.

Like in the murder of Kelly Thomas,
By Fullerton cops Cicinelli and Ramos.
Meting out their state sanctioned bounty,
Then stacking the jury in Orange County.

Ironically police and military suffer most,
Don't abandon your station, or your post!
Attitudes of no mercy by hardened brass,

Aquitted Police Officers Manuel Ramos and Jay Cicinelli

Using media spin to save face and ass!

In this incorporated social model,
Mental illness is scorned something awful.
If you're sick they'll assume you're no good,
Society's attitude killed the dead in Fort Hood!

Media uses language to frighten the reader,
Homeless, assailant, attacker, beleaguer.
Media profit out weighs moral obligation,
Breaking News is an ethical violation!

Government is a huge part of the problem,
Mental illness, like the stereotypical Harlem,
Is given short shrift and discussed in hushed tone,
There's no leftover money for the mentally ill prone!

Will the cowardly US Justice Department,
Dole out punishment sure footed and ardent,
And lock up thugs like Cicinelli and Ramos?
Look at what they did to Kelly Thomas!

Mental illness was Kelly's only crime,
Look online, they beat his head into slime!
The defense painted him as criminal and drug crazed,
Now how would you react if your head was being tazed?

The Indelible Stain Of A Life Cut Short

Fighting out of the red corrrrner
At an undisclosed weight
we have...
Canada's vicarious Vets!
Fighting out of the blue corner,
Julian Fantino's a no show, yet!

Hollywood made pop-war sexy,
Not - big pop, like Coca-cola or Pepsi;
Pop, as in popular!
Like the German made Steiner binocular!

Everybody idolizes the action war hero
Come home with trauma; then you're a zero
It has to be the same as in the cool movie!
Immortalized by serving in the line of duty.

Politicians hold up our vets like shields,
To deflect from the profit dirty war yields,
And the public is so far off in left field
They think big pharma can make a mental wound healed.

Imagine risking it all for country
Then arriving home to being impoverished and hungry
It's a good bet

Julian Fantino Minister of Veteran Affairs
Canada

The wealthy hawks never wanted you back!
Better you dead,
Than their kid in some sack;
Or worse yet, on crack.

They romanticized war
The road home not paved
They invested in the corps
That cost a soul, not saved.

What's the going rate for a life these days?
Ask them in Fallujah how much it pays.
The cost of Iraqi kids catching some strays?
While California kids are just catching rays.

Say you take a kid,
And let her blow out her brains,
How can bloody hands,
Ever get out the stains?

The Conservative Tar Baby

Canadian Conservatives
Contaminate democracy
With their use of additives
Like bill C-23.

Our democracy's
Not trans fat free,
It's sluggish, over weight and unhealthy;
Diagnosed with a clogged artery.

PC Minister Pierre Poilievre (pwah-lee-evr)
Plans to give;
Campaign advantage,
To Conservatives;
Like reckless spending was to Bev;
Like Dimitri Soudas' Eve, imperative.

Elections Canada drove Harper crazy,
If he doesn't want a 2015 - maybe
He should abort his Poilievre"tar baby"!
Harper's sticky black bastard child
A product of sowing his robo oats wild.

Tar baby to blacks means more than sticky
Like Fair Elections to democracy's quite tricky
Disenfranchised voters can't afford to be picky
Conservative foreplay is called a quickie!

Conservative democracy grew a fat belly
Watching too many polls on the parliament telly
Excluding voters will make Conservatives smelly,
Like Canadians bent over with no petroleum jelly!

Dumbing Down: The Sexual Process

Corporate music icons are functionally illiterate,
English they obliterate,
Their grammar,
They alliterate.

"It's Our Party We Can Do What We Want"
 What's all the fuss, about this sex crazed debutante?
 Another hyper-sexed body for the corporate pimps to flaunt.
"Black Black Black And Blue Beat Me Till I'm Numb"
 Over the head with corporate music, until we're just plain dumb.

 Politicians boast we're "The Knowledge Economy"
 Knowledge is over-rated in this new sexual ecology.
 Media pundits praise how far society has come;
 Our many silicone parts, are the product of their sum.

There are two significant mindsets in the New World phase:
Insomnia haze and lustful, sex craze.
For sleepless nights, put yourself in an Ambien induced daze;
If erectile dysfunction frustrates and annoys.
Let Viagra get you standing up again, boys!
Bright ideas from Big Pharma or manipulative ploys?
All you need to do is go to sleep and have sex to fill your voids.

Why is it people cannot operate vehicles anymore?
Who needs driving skills, now that the sexy car is yours!
Television is a great medium to help them sell their sexy wars,
 Even the smartphone's pull, sexually allures.

The appeal to base instinct, is the motivational sell;
There's never enough sex, for addictive tendencies to quell.
Money, sex and power: Is the democratic death knell,
The inevitable is quite obvious; even for a dumb-dumb to tell.
