tell me the flags are flying at half mast for
james brown.
dont tell me theyre for
gerald ford.

politicians dont deserve that honor.
not anymore.
im sure he was a good guy,
that gerald ford,
shit he was on the simpsons once.
and he was a shlub,
so said the media,
so he mustve been a nice man.
and thats what happens to nice men
who become president.
they get replaced by actors
or idiots
but most likely
both
...
or shot in the face
while driving through texas.

i pray for barrack.
to both win,
and narrowly lose.
and i pray
that james brown
can be put to rest.
and i pray that a mormon
will scare middle america
as much as he does
me.
