HYPOCRISY

HYPOCRISY

NFL old timers with thousands
Of head contusions get no
OSHA visitations ever, while

The local friendly supermarket
Gets cited for a soda spill on the
Floor; “Safety First in the Workplace”.

Matt. 23:25-39. Woe unto you Pharisees,
Blind guides, you strain a gnat and swallow
A camel. The only thing you swear by is gold.

Woe pharmaceutical industries; Africa only
Comprises 1% of Global pharmaceutical sales,.
Yet you say you need exorbitant prices for R&D.

Profligate hypocrisy of Republicans taking credit
For Obama’s Bills they opposed’ the Economic
Recovery Bill and the 2009 Omnibus Appropriations Bill.

Hall of sport’s fame infamy gorging steroids
And stealing away glory from true sport’s giants;
Woe unto the meritorious unmerited.

Thrice woe unto Alan Greensppan insisting that
There was no housing bubble and pushed derivatives;
Ignored sub prime lending by the board of governors.

And finally for outsanding hypocrisy above and beyond
The pale, the winners are, all the CEO’s taking TARP
Money as bonuses while Joe the Plumber Fucks himself..
