Obama (poem)

Obama

you piss me off
Mr. President but
it's not your fault

once again I
got sucked in by
inspiring rhetoric

you'd put on your sneakers
and march with workers
on strike if need be

you'd put the fat cats
banks and wall street
in their place

you were unbelievable
FDR reincarnated
with Chicago street smarts

well I wish I'd
voted for Hillary
because the truth is out

you were all bullshit
you don't stand up
you give in at once

a politician is an arse
said cummings
upon which everyone has
sat except a man

and norman o. brown
added that politics
is pissing in public

and I knew this
before I voted for you
but alas I forgot

--Charles Deemer
