Priceless truth arrives in Ed Naha poetic justice

I cannot possibly craft a better Winter Solstice message than the following, created by Ed Naha. We are in the midst of the a Constitutional Crisis on par with the Civil War, in which most of our civil liberties, civil rights, and truth has been cravenly destroyed for the pursuit of consolidation of power and greed.

'Tis a thought before Christmas

'Twas a country quite listless, for in the White House
All the shredders were shredding, fed by the dry souse.
The Department of Justice did not have a care,
Full knowing that Congress would never go there.

The Cabinet was smirking, with zero street cred,
While visions of pardons danced in their pinheads.
And Bush in his flight suit with Dick spewing his crap,
Called up party faithful to cheerlead their pack.

When from the front lawn there arose such a clatter -
'Twas an army of citizens (as if they would matter).
Junior and Cheney were up in a flash,
And to the back exit they carried the trash.

Trucks took the confetti away to a dump
And Junior was giggling, like a lame frat-boy chump.
When, what to their wondering eyes should appear,
The Statue of Liberty, and for all to hear,

She roared at the duo that they made her sick.
The scoundrels, they trembled (especially Dick).
And, with a bald eagle, she hurled out the blame,
At appointees and annointees, she called them by name.

"Out, Dubya! Out, Cheney! Out, Rice and Mukasey!
Out all the enablers, both crooked and lazy.
You've ruined a nation, with your greed and gall!
Now dash away! Dash away! Dash away all!"

Junior was frightened. He squealed like a sow.
Cheney retreated. "Feets don't fail me now."
So into the White House, they ran and they hid.
They both called their lawyers. What facts could they rig?

And then, in a twinkling, they saw in the hall
A figure approaching, both regal and tall.
He had a white beard, wore a star spangled hat.
He sneered at the duo. "Your uncle is back."

He was dressed like a flag, from his head to his feet,
But the flag was all tarnished from lies and deceit.
He stared at the culprits. "Do you know who I am?"
They both nodded dumbly. It was Uncle Sam.

"To the words of the law, you have turned a deaf ear.
You've squandered your power. You've made people fear
For their lives and their families. You've tortured the facts.
You've never been leaders, just political hacks."

Uncle Sam bristled, rolled paper in hand.
"It's the Constitution! The law of the land!
This land isn't your land. This land isn't mine.
It belongs to the people and you've run out of time.

"They'll no longer listen to vows learned by rote.
In next year's election, they'll turn out and vote.
They'll fix up this nation. They'll bring freedom back.
We'll no longer torture. We'll get out of Iraq."

Old Dick tried to argue, but as the Veep rose
Sam launched a haymaker upside Cheney's nose.
Bush began spinning, and whined like a girl
As Sam opened the window and spoke to the world.

"Trust in your Uncle, Lady Liberty, too.
We'll be back here in '08, after this wrecking crew."
And the people all cheered as Sam called through the night.
"Don't give up on freedom. Don't give up the fight."
