–
There is a people – oh, how big the heart! –
A heart that swells like a primeval ooze
Till others not as blessed must take a part,
Forced by an overflowing they don’t choose.
And, oh! how wonderful those hearts now feel
That others, too, have done the good they deemed
With what the righteous from them rightly steal –
Not steal, but take by all the plans they schemed.
And, oh! how those blest hearts now fill with pride
That theirs the nobler way, the higher road,
That they, a cut above the baser side
Have helped man’s load by adding to his load.
It seems they think it some great human feat,
A merit in the doing that they dream
Not by their back and boon, but from their seat
By forcing others into what they scheme.

The Bard on the Hill 
It’s certainly been going on in this nation for decades hasn’t it. And how clever of you to write something to sound, so true, and so politically INcorrect in such a way that you’ll get by with it — mainly because I don’t think most of the liberals out there are big minded enough to even get it.
How can such people be upset by all the praise I’ve given them? 😉
