303 - Hail to Americans, not to the chief

Hail to Americans, not to the chief,
Nor to abusers of democracy
Who vote according to selfish belief,
And not for the good of society.
Just how richer should corporations be,
And if they don’t pay tax, what good are they?
No: all they do is fight aggressively
For market share, both near and far away.
While the eagle holds economic sway,
Its airborne shadow falls on rock, on leaf,
On city and on child, over the sea,
Over the hills, both near and far away.
There’s no getting away, there’s no relief,
Except for today: so let’s be happy!
