Vultures in Eagles' Clothing

The GOP rivals play proud patriotic eagles
but attack working families, insult the less fortunate
& use code, condescension & coercion to divide America,
-- it's not only Romney who can be called a vulture.

Big Media conglomerates claim to fight piracy
when they behave as predators by nature:
they lock content, block creativity, knock competition
& make off with the bounty before the ship sinks.

Pipeline proponents claim they'd pump up prosperity,
but the Tar Sands project would have been the leech
on our environment, economy & our way of life.

Though they talk proud, look pleasant, smile pretty
pirates aren't patriots, leeches don't love America
& beware of vultures in eagles' clothing.

Debrief the debates, predict the primaries
& lift liberal libations with like-leaning lefties
at your local progressive social club.
