with an aluminum can
blowing clanging
down the avenue
that's what this political season
has come to
a bit of truth
spills out here & there
thanks to the greens
certainly not the apologists
for the big money six-packs
they all want to find 'common ground'
for austerity
for 'take backs'
for 'pulling your ass up by your own bootstraps'
keep listening
where there's a loose aluminum can
there just might be
hope
