Do 47 Traitors In Our Senate Follow The Leader Of The Knesset

Easy to wag the dogs of wars
It takes a group of ideologues
Seizing on a Pearl Harbor type event
Congress woefully failed to prevent

Warmongers labeled Chicken Hawks
Because Viet Nam war they ducked
An army of good men tried and true
Fought the war Chicken Hawks failed to

Using Mushroom Clouds overhead
Said many of us can wind up dead
Imagined weapons of mass destruction
Figments of Chicken Hawks’ deception

Easy To wag the dogs of wars
By a small group of ideologues
Do 47 traitors in our senate
Follow the leader of the Knesset

Can/Will low oil prices do all this? (After years of climate denial misinformation to investors.)


Renewables Are The Future
Fossil Fuels Are The Past

Did Fossil Fuel Providers
Recruit and Fund Climate Deniers

What Do Low Oil Prices Mean
Is Fossil Fuel Disinvestment Seen

Are Low Oil Prices Just Quirky
Or The End of the Oil Oligarchy

Fossil Fuels Brought Climate Disruptions
Perhaps Some Low Oil Price Resolutions

Stimulate world economies

Force increased oil output
Produce investor bankruptcies
Stem climate denial  funding
Stem oil profiteering
Stem political bribery
Slow pollution
Spur investment in renewables
Spur investors to divest fossil fuels
End oil wars

State of the Union is a National Disgrace. It’s Time to Fix This Place



State of the Union is a National Disgrace.
It’s Time to Fix This Place


Where deer and antelope used to run
Now with fear and hate is overrun
Oligarchs around the world meander
With endless war for riches to plunder

Mountains shrouded in smog
Polluters and religious zealots wag the dog
Rivers once clean and pure now stink
Dirty air to breathe and water to drink

Bridges unsafe to cross  
Infrastructure almost lost
Trains and tracks busted
Sewers and water lines rusted

World is getting hot
Climate Deniers say it's not 
Storms and floods wreak havoc 
Warmongers have the money locked

Congress tells us where to tread
Terrorists we must fear and dread 
Visions of mushroom clouds overhead 
Pretty soon we all  will wind up dead
