Swift Kick In The Ass

So much to say but very little time,
Usually only get 3 minutes to rhyme,
Which means I’ve got to be direct and concise,
Avoid tangents giving emotional or judgmental advice,
Honestly I’m not really the biggest fan,
Of Americans’ short attention spans,
Who made the rule that a song,
Automatically gets boring if it’s too long,
Two refuting examples worth giving a mention,
Are “Bohemian Rhapsody” and “Stairway To Heaven”,
The lengths are quite drastic,
But even today they’re both considered classics,
Why are we unbelievably greedy and impatient,
Gullibly naïve lazy and complacent,
It’s interesting how Bush ran absolutely wild,
Yet Obama sucks cause he can’t solve the problems GW pig piled,
I find it rather silly,
How this country defers responsibility,
Living in a false virtual reality,
With this spoiled sense of entitlement mentality,
Our children are becoming casualties,
To miseducation and exaggerated fallacies,
Magical stories filled with this fairytale fantasy of finding bliss,
The truth is hidden to the point it almost doesn’t exist,
Everything’s sugar coated and just peachy,
Comedy’s turned to satire all tongue and cheeky,
While having morals and values has u pegged as corny or cheesy,
Believe me it aint easy trying to please these ignorant wanna be deities,
I’m challenging listeners to raise their bar,
Maybe then spitting raps with lyrical content becomes par,
Or is that idea too far even beyond the stars,
Like producing non gas guzzling cars,
Products that actually are built and meant to last,
Recyclable instead of wastefully thrown away in the trash,
Can society get back to the gold standard and using cash,
Wish the whole notion of credit was just a thing of the past,
Cuz collectors come at u fast,
And interest is the biggest bitch that gets the last laugh,
Perhaps we need like Red from “That 70’s Show” always said, “A swift kick in the ass”!


Peace and 1
