Healthcare's Coming... Poem by david lessard

Obama is the prez,
and were cool on healthcare.
or so he sez.
But at the town hall,
life's not so simple,
and peace there's not...
At all.

Health care's being forced,
whether or not we like it,
and to raise our voice an octave,
why you'd think we caused a riot.

It's un-american they claim,
to offer our resistance,
Have the senators no shame?
As we shout our own insistance.

Have any read the passages,
of a thousand pages or longer?
My eyes are not so good,
I wish that they were stronger.

Death panels for the old,
The right to die is not denied,
If you don't want to live,
Can you say you really tried?

If you need something
and your ninety,
Why forget it, it it won't be done,
You won't live to see tomorrow,
You'll not see the rising of the sun.

Health care, it's in the making,
No mistake of that,
It'll revolutionize our world,
And that Jack, is a fact.
