New Folk Song/Talking Blues version of ALL ABOUT THAT OIL

 Yeah, talk about that oil? That oil, that oil. It's all about that oil, that oil, that oil, that oil. See... The price of gas. Go up, up, up. See, stocks go down, down, down. It's all about that oil. That oil, that oil. It's all about that oil. That oil, that oil. Donald thinks he can put boots on the ground, and... make a... trip across... land filled with oil. It's all about that oil, that oil, that oil, that oil. It's all about that oil, that oil, that oil. That oil. Nobody able to come into the Iran streets, and... have something like the Arab spring... But that didn't stop Donald and Benjamin from dreaming. They dreamed it,they schemed it. They made an unholy mess in the Middle East, because it's all about that oil, that oil, that oil, around is all about that, oil, all that, oil, that oil. And... don't give me started on the strait of HormuzThat'll take a long time to figure out why the Strait of Hormuz wasn't left alone, and we weren't even fighting a war in the first place. But with, uh, Donald, he's a big, tough guy, so he... plunged ahead without stopping to think, Why? Because it's all about that oil, that oil, that oil. It's all about that oil, that oil, that oil. Yes, it's about that or that... It's going to take weeks, more and more. I hate reading emojis on Facebook of people laughing at no kings rallies. They’re saying silly things, going back to my childhood, about love it or leave it. And I think, you first, because it's all about that oil, that oil, that oil, it's all about that oil, that oil, that oil. And at some point, Donald will walk away, and leave Benjamin to... do what he does to the Middle East, and keep bombing Gaza so Jared can put... some kind of a luxury hotel on the land, that is, still being destroyed, but... Because it's all about money, money, money, money, money, investment, money. Affordability goes away, away, away, because it's all about that oil, that oil, that oil, that oil, that oil, that oil. Someday we'll see Donald try to... when he's not tearing up. The... other parts of the White House that he can destroy when Donald goes ahead, and... plants a big, big flag on the White House lawn says, I won I, won. Actually, he probably lost, but he keeps saying I won, I won, I won, I won, I won. And that's when... the country is... gone through the floor like Rumplestiltskin  through the floor like Rumplestiltskin. Gone through the floor .Nobody can afford to eat, forget vacations, forget fun, just work, work, work. Take two or three jobs, work, work, take no time off, work, work. It's all about that oil, that oil, that oil, all about that oil, that oil.

New Poem: STUCK IN A WAR YOU CAN’T GET OUT OF

 you haven’t been shot or stabbed or drone bombed

 because it’s enough to watch the curated highlights 

 behind the safety of the resolute desk

 keep lying to get through each quicksand day

 yammer out fifteen-point plans and demands for abject surrender

 those things don’t work with angry theocrats 

 willing to murder their own citizens in the streets

 (in far greater numbers than Stephen Miller’s ICE corps)

 and transport their rage to other parts of the Middle East 

 but, hey, you carved a deep scar

 onto the surface of the world stage

 and discovered the dogs of war you let slip

 won’t return immediately after you call them

New Poem: ALL ABOUT THAT OIL

 all about that oil that oil that oil

 see price per barrel go up up up

 if a hard-liner takes over, Donald doesn’t care

 CIA tries to manufacture people’s rebellion 

 just you wait for Donald and Benjamin to walk away

 because it’s all about that oil that oil that oil

New Poem: BUNKER BLUSTER

 he’s a transactional president 

 a rancid Santa Claus

 activating the lesser angels

 punching the Fourth Estate

 into face value cheerleading 

 because that’s expected in wartime

 both at home and in Iran

 >

 in a few minutes

 he may try to sell America 

 on the notion that it was just a

 quick bomb drop, only three targets

 and he’s supersized Harry Truman

 helping to spread radioactivity 

 until the enemy begs for mercy 

 >

 chaos chaos everywhere 

 and it all could have been prevented 

 >

 rally around the the upside down flag

 (Inspired by Ben Folds Five “Song For The Dumped”)


 so you wanted

 to hit pause hard

 because we don’t 

 persecute dissent enough


give us the money back

give us the money back

Mr. President 


and we’ll send you
