Beget and Begot

A new President
We wanted to beget,
Through a fixed election
Bush we begot,
Social benefits
For the middle class
We wanted to beget,
Special privileges
For billionaires we begot,
Health care for all
We wanted to beget,
A windfall for insurance
Companies we begot,
Raise in minimum wages
We wanted to beget,
Huge salary increases
For CEO s we begot,
A fair Supreme Court
We wanted to beget,
A prejudiced Supreme
Court we begot,
An end to terrorists
We wanted to beget,
A useless, draining war
With Iraq, based
On lies, we begot,
Tax cuts for average people
We wanted to beget,
Major tax cuts
For the rich we begot,
Decent Social Security
Payments for the old
We wanted to beget,
Taxes and paycuts
For old folks we begot,
Better Medicare payments
We wanted to beget,
Cuts in Medicare we begot.

In light of what we begot,
Let's throw out
This Republican lot!
