Red Alert

Mark D. Cohen

Static on the highways
Congestion on the phone lines
All systems down
Be prepared for take-off

The rebels yelling, “Massacre!”
The pundits screaming, “Genocide!”
The New York Times is out of business
Everybody's gone to bed

Oh, for the good old days
Of oppression and the iron boot
But everyone in Kansas knows
The Milwaukee Brewers stole all the beer

When will this end?
Oh my, what will happen in the final reel?
A capitalist hanging from every tree?
Or just Sundaes at Haagen-Dazs, writing poetry on napkins?

5/19/05, 5/20/05, and 8/16/05
