Time of Swine
With their grunting and their oinking,
They parade around the pen.
For all their affectations,
They’re the angriest of men.
Their litany of grievances
Spawns shrill dishonest whine;
We’re living in the conman’s age,
This is the time of swine.
They soil your information
To camouflage their faults;
All traces of wrongdoing
Are locked deep down in vaults.
They bare their piqued, offended snouts
And punishments refine;
We’re living in the bully’s age,
This is the time of swine.
Their heads are in the trough all day,
As they sup up the swill;
The lengths that they will go to
Should make our marrow chill.
Incarceration waits or worse,
If you oppose their line;
We’re living in the tyrant’s age,
This is the time of swine.

The power of your anger, Steve. It's not easy to react so quickly and so eloquently to what has just happened. Thank you for voicing the feelings of so many. Just not enough.
