White Elephants

              

From very recent trends in the selection of VP running mates

And developments burned into the nation's psyche

As if with a branding iron from the Bar-Bush-666 Ranch,

Over the past eight years of Dubya's administration,

Certain undeniabilities are raising their Medusan heads:

 

America's lust for fluffy superficiality over substance,

Good-old-boy and -gal six-pack chumminess,

Straight-shooter talk, with-us-or-against-us bravado

(Which the average soccer dad and hockey mom can relate to),

Over high-falutin', professorial examination of the issues.

 

These manifestations of ignorance, equalizing the populace,

Egalitarianizing our NASCAR democracy,

Are rays of light signaling that we may yet redeem ourselves,

By electing a pair of white elephants,

Who can lead us on a stampede through our Promised Land.
