New Norm - Ernie Carpenter

[Larry Robinson]

New Norm
Tired of hearing of
That New Norm.
Spooferizes a nasty
coming storm.
All the people
will move somewhere
Even if clad only in
Underwear,
For sure, all be
In your hair.
Dough will get you
Through for a while,
Capitalists continue to beguile,
Politikans talk a mile.
What gets done
Is next to none,
Most out there having fun,
Not wake up until we’re done.
Cooked like a chicken on a spit.
Poor ones on the move
Hurt first,
 then certainly worst.
No food in the roost,
No ground water to boost,
Government stealing 
Double dealing
People a reeling.
How are you feeling?

Where does it lead,
Nature drew a bead
On our carbon fed deed,
People we need to feed,
Warnings we need to heed,
Really soon now.
Afore we all bleed.
Do not talk to
Me about that
New Norm.
Get your back up
Don’t trust luck,
Best to join the 
Young ones, go
Run amok.
Don’t be a spitted cluck.

	- Ernie Carpenter
