Demographics...

Bureacracy will be the death of Democracy,
for when one hand knows not
what the other is doing
eventually both hands go up
in a gesture of futility
at the stupidity of the system
that drowns many a soul...
Lost in the interminable Black Hole
of paperwork and policy
that was not made for you or me
but added on as an amendment
by a gentleman's agreement
to some bill on government subsidy
Ain't if a laugh, this Land of the Free?
free to question but receive no answers
free to do as we please,
within the certain parameters
but don't cross that line
and ,please, take a number
one day we dig you out
from the collapse we're all under
but don't hold your breath
the mountains will sooner fall asunder
as we look at yet another Administration
and marvel at yet again the same blunders...
