Poems - ticket outta here

ticket outta here

by delapruch

dear Canada,
dear France,
dear Australia,
dear UK &
to the other countries of the
world who are in the
process of using their
governmental structure to
alleviate the
health care catastrophes
within their own borders,
by taking up the whole of
the financial burden to
provide their own citizens
with the ability to stay
healthy,
without becoming broke &
destitute,
or
dead---
this writer would like to ask ahead
of time (prior to 2014)
on behalf of himself &
all the citizens of the United States
of Absurdia,
if there is some way that he &
the rest of the uninsured lot,
whose daily toils simply do not
provide enough scratch to pay the
coming
PERSONAL MANDATE,
of which mr. hope & change has
imposed upon the people of the
empire, today,
crippling those who are not seniors
(those who complain with their
vote),
crippling those who do not fall into
the hailed “young people of America”
pool (those who have just come of
voting age & whose breasts are filled
to the brim with dreams of universal
peace & utopia, which they think can
be achieved very very quickly, via
one man),
if,
there is some way we can get
some jobs (be them the most
mundane, meaningless &
random in the world),
some food (be it the worst
tasting---we can either stuff
it down our gullets or refrain
from eating, as all Americans
can stand to lose a few pounds
anyway),
some shelter (we won’t be
picky, as many of us are squashed
into closets now) &
of course,
a
health care system
where the government assumes the
responsibility
for the welfare of the people in
its control,
as opposed to bending them over
the table & raping them until
they bleed,
only to refuse that they can come
into the ER to get some help in
sewing up the newest wound,
because they don’t have that
precious
little
health insurance card,
which says they are STILL
paying,
in order to stay alive in the
empire that does not respect them
or give a shit,
whether they live or die.
