Everyone Wins

War for a richer store 
Wars on wars, no one scores 
Crazy as hell, nuts can sell 
Might makes right—and wrong 
Let right make our might 
Make our might stop a fight 
Holy land a power muddle 
Jews versus Others struggle 
Others, with reason in mind 
And numbers Jews can't find 
This versus bit won't quit 
Hence we offer good sense 
To save both great sides 
Maybe save all our hides 
Invite Jews to our Nation 
They can fit with elation 
Others don't suffer by war 
They buy and build to soar 
No sins, EVERYONE WINS 
Hooray! Most rewarding to USA

Thou Swell

Swell as we are, getting together is a difficult hazardous par 
Diversity is worsity with one half below average smarts and purity 
Forefathers earned capitalism and Democracy, all else is idiocy 
Lawmakers have a ponderous job amid vast offers by lobby mob 
Re-election's need for effort and money makes terminal,—it or us? 
We need ONE TEN YEAR TERM for House, Senate and Executive Top 
After ten years elect one fifth every two years, sequence by lot 
Lawmakers are conned by lobby mob, Academicians bare the truth  
To help lawmakers we rotate truth to Dc hamlet for them, deluxe 
The Vote, the why and how of Democracy needs age for experiency 
 

Keep Us Great

Basic to living, for wealth work well, at work, some greatly excel 
Excel with sweat and pain, to ring the bell and gain a reign 
Building so well, others content to dwell, for others???—Oh well! 

Others, to live, work for reign, sharing gain, sunshine or rain 
Security or misery by chance, to such dilemmas Lawmakers dance 
Add war, nuclear or worse, Nat'l debt, terrorism, the empty purse 
Lawmakers make a place in a vicious race needing brains with lace 

Lawmakers, fingers on what counts, coercion mounts, money founts 
To retain this grandiose place, Lawmakers must win reelection race 
Obscene pressure, money for self-serving directions beyond measure 
Re-election is worse problem we face, a fatal race we must replace 

One ten year term in House and Senate and Executive tops 
After 10 years elect one fifth every two years, sequence by lot 
After term and hot, an immense value to Nation employed in any spot 

Lawmakers are conned by selfish lobbies, Academicians bare the truth 
Make Hamlet in DC, they rotate to for pay, homes an schools deluxe 
Leaders from them get aid, not the self-interest lobby brigade 
Get in their licks in vital politics, by their great IQ tics 

To vote, the why and how of democracy, ones eligibility not free 
The experience, intelligence and maturity of age should be the fee.
