The American Theater of the Absurd

It's a comedy, tragedy and drama rolled into one, a multi-
        media extravaganza without a plot.
Watch parliamentarian oracles pontificate, while lobbyists,
        those dutiful political wolves cradle inside opposable
giveaways and beat down any of the already browbeaten
        activists with bluff spontaneity.
They say they’re strictly business, but, act as if it’s a play,
         play, play, and the play is the nothing.

Experience the edema of bloated bureaucracy, scandalous
         cronyism and payback, as lobbyists and other henchmen
tempt and avail to extend adept spider webs, earmarking
         an infeasible hydro airstrip in the armpit of Wyoming
                        while there are no moves to fix the economy.

It’s a magic show, all smoke and mirrors,
          “the hand is quicker than the eye.”

Each side recites recycled rhetoric as a they proclaim a
          propaganda of truth and freedom it’s all bullshit and salesmanship
                        Remember Big Business is watching.
Lady Liberty lies defiled in the corner, curled in the fetal position,
          weeping like a virgin homecoming queen who has been dethroned
and deflowered by the high school football team.

We the people have been bought and sold a frailty ridden
          bill of goods.

They shout invest, invest, but it’s all incest, as they buy
into the latest Wall Street Ponzi scheme.
There is no compromise, no time to define workable
intelligence, no new ideas, it’s just say no:
           no jobs, no healthcare, no education.

No child left behind now means they all are lost, because in government
          they are all stars with no supporting roles and we the people are extras.

America is Holden Caulfield.
But now the only question that plagues us is:
           Did Adam have a belly button?
