Puppets
- John Eppel (South Africa)
Donald
and Ronald and Barrack and Bill
danced
for their masters on Capitol Hill;
Hillary,
George, Tricky Dicky and all,
they
answered the bankers, the plutocrats’ call:
‘Start
wars if you like, bomb clinics and schools,
make
profit for us, make loss for these fools:
the
poor and the humble, the sick and the lame;
fodder
for cannon… making money’s our game.’
They
danced for their masters of Upper East Side,
the
cream of Manhattan, a star-spangled pride;
rewarded
they’ve been with orient pearls,
dollars
and collars and under-aged girls.
So,
Donald and Ronald and Barrack and Bill,
dance
for your masters on Capitol Hill;
Hillary,
George, Tricky Dicky and all -
dance
till their finger-strings snap, and then crawl.
