SWEET LAND
Ain’t got no health care.
Congress, they took it, but hell!
I’ve still got my guns.
I ain’t got no dough
For health insurance, so I
Put my trust in God.
Ain’t got no money
For my meds, got no estate
For zero Death Tax.
Fallin’ through the cracks.
Welcome to America,
‘Cos it’s great again!

My previous post is a verse I wrote in 2015, and in view of the events in the US Senate and the efforts by neo-cons to destroy Obamacare and put millions of people in danger by denying them a basic universal right which exists in all other industrialised nations in the world.
Socialised healthcare has been confused with socialism in a nation that worships money and the rich and successful, and where many of the poor see themselves as impoverished millionaires.
It should be made clear: ‘freedom’ is actually slavery, peonage, serfdom, because the word has been bastardised by American conservatives and their well-funded think-tanks and lobbyists to brainwash ordinary people into supporting laws that only benefit the rich, or the very rich, in fact.

AUSTERITY # 7
This sceptered isle that
Reviles welfare claimants, seat
Of Mars that browbeats
The indigent, blessed plot,
This realm of indignity.
