They’ll annoy you without conscious effort and then tell you
it’s none of your business
They’ll step on your face with a condescending smirk while
clawing their way to the top
They’ll throw shit on the ground when no one is around and
then just drive away
They’ll make gasoline-powered noise to blot out the good
silence that makes them feel uneasy
They’ll throw up cheap crap on good land, make quick bucks
and then leave town for good
They’ll call you when you’ve had an accident and then drive
up in another new leased BMW
They’ll pimp real estate to gullible strangers like a mother
bird feeds her tiny chick
They’ll ignore the homeless as they drive by every day
behind their tinted windows
They’ll act righteous beneath their fascist, literalist,
fairytale personal saviors
They’ll spout gibberish and call for soundbite political
debates with real scientists
They’ll carry their canned, evaporated culture far from home
and never see a thing
They’ll piss you off with their thoughtless waste without
ever even knowing it
They’ll shame you to the civilized world with all their
ignorant, macho, cowboy posturing
They’ll spend thousands to go hunting but demand that all
forests return a profit
They’ll blithely support resource extraction ignoring any
and all of its long term costs
They’ll call birth control a sin but use the excess ignorant
as their contract wage slaves
They’ll never walk anywhere outside except to shiny vehicles
parked closely nearby
They’ll mouth the nonsense of televangelists and conservative
think tank analysts
They’ll work diligently on their pathetic golf games on
grass that’s a toxic green
They’ll take pride in an ignorance knowingly pitched to them
as tough, manly and rugged
They’ll no longer require your services once you have called
them on their charade
They’ll spoil and ignore their lazy children but blame their
failures on poor schools
They’ll unknowingly waste more every hour than most people
earn in a month
They’ll demand ever more criminally wasteful military money
and call it patriotism
They’ll support our troops with plastic bumper stickers on
their sleek imported cars
They’ll subsidize terrorists with hard cash every time they
fill-up at the gas pump
They’ll idle their 300 hp engines to serve as personal room
air-conditioners
They’ll go out for expensive meals prepared and served by
the angry working poor
They’ll refinance all of our futures and every one of us
will have to pay
They’ll drive to the wilderness and run loud generators to
watch action DVDs
They’ll ignore you and get up way too close then start
making lots of noise
They’ll always know lots about the latest bright and shiny
consumer fad
They’ll take tax-deductible ski vacations with their
corporate mega-churches
They’ll get tough on crime but cheat on their taxes and
shortchange their illegal workers
They’ll be concerned for their security and burn bright
lights which also blot out all the stars
They’ll call for roads to eliminate congestion and
immediately crowd them with tacky shit
They’ll bulldoze native plants then spend enormous sums
maintaining toxic, artificial lawns
They’ll cut your throat behind your back using canned &
coded corporate PC catchphrases
They’ll twist the words they put in your mouth and then put
them to use against you
They’ll advertise for proactive self-starters who must also
be good team players
They’ll produce elaborate fictional schedules as they
socialize in their meetings
They’ll forget your name should they ever be unable to avoid
meeting you face to face
They’ll espouse a laissez-faire evangelical Social Darwinism
fueled only by their shortsighted greed
They’ll copyright your handmade ideas and cheaply
manufacture them overseas
They’ll change lanes impatiently over and over, angrily
saving even more wasted time
They’ll make sure everybody in the office thinks they work
12 hours every day
They’ll be full of friendly smalltalk and jovial smiles when
their boss happens by
They’ll mouth free enterprise while lobbying for their own
tariffs, subsidies and tax breaks
They’ll dismiss your ideas out of hand while endlessly
quoting their gutless, invisible leaders
They’ll drive up your property taxes and then buy you out to
make a quick profit
They’ll sell you on personal responsibility but control your
very bowel movements
They’ll rule as corporate control freaks but then plead
complete ignorance to company crimes
They’ll pay vapid fast-talking salesmen princely sums to
pimp their useless products
They’ll get fat bonuses and stock options for their,
unfortunately, immeasurable contributions
They’ll cut your benefits, eliminate your position and
renege on your retirement
They’ll purchase influence and legislation to insure their
own continued success
They’ll rend the very fabric of the living world and
belittle you for not putting people first
They’ll always chant of costs in jobs and money over
environmental and safety concerns
They’ll pass you at full noisy throttle then brake hard to
turn off at the very next corner
They’ll eat the pus-like middle of their white bread and
then toss the phony crust aside
They’ll speak of a love of peace while subsidizing their
weapons-making donors with no-bid contracts
They’ll pray to a god who rationalizes all of their greedy
and short-sighted actions
They’ll glowingly praise democracy while buying up votes and
peddling their influence
They’ll
ignore you completely until it might cost them a bit of power or just a little
money
