Election Day 2008

The times, I have heard, are changing.
Prior priorities re-arranging.
Center stage, middle-class rage
and the evil of financial incest, turn the page.
Crack the rage and brave the night,
put up with nothing but put up a fight
and liberate the potential of the people
who are found more places than under a steeple
worshiping the wisdom found in greed
that bleeds our childrens' legacies of need.
Time to shift gears and get off our asses
and rip the illusions from what passes
for freedom in the name of bartered rights.
We have been trusting to the lesser lights
of the mediocrity that is so reassuring,
but we need more than cynical posturing.
