See What You Get Do-Gooder?

No good deed goes without some type of recompense
Go question a soundbite maxim you’ve always simply parroted: You’ll get laughed at and belittled
Donate millions for rhinos & elephants but ivory poaching will remain profitable until they’re all dead
Work late nites preparing as a new teacher just to learn how school alone cannot save your students
Watch how after decades of work on diseases, ignorant vaccination superstitions bring them all back

Your football & golf viewing decreased slightly but real men still learn sports stats, not new job skills
Some stopped idling giant pickups thru fastfood takeout lanes – To waddle in for a couple of LottoTix
The snack food aisles might even get a little less crowded, but only if you can’t buy cookies on SNAP
The uninsured swarm for way-overdue free treatment by rich dentists - who need the tax write-offs

That evil BigAg is ruining our soils! Excuse me, I need to go spray pesticide, fertilize & water my yard
Your civic-minded tissue donation gives free raw materials to a profitable cosmetic surgery supplier
Hard-earned contributions to worthwhile causes line the pockets of slick non-profit entrepreneurs
Buy a quiet green hybrid & they’ll gleefully blow clouds of chipped-diesel smoke back in your face

Your clan loyalty is co-opted by corporate sports, factory beer & extruded snacks of sugar, fat & salt
Fossil fuel puppets easily repudiate solid scientific research using catchy lies & snarky-grin sarcasm
As you try to rid your diet of industrial toxins they oblige with clever false advertising & higher prices
Put away a little bit every week while those who don’t get even more new credit - Post-bankruptcy!

Write your congressman all the letters you want but…they only heed their anonymous Corpro-donors
Dutifully recycle everything while libertarians pickle such garbage in their family toxins: At the dump
You can join the Sierra Club but you’ll always still find new bandit ATV trails in your favorite places
Take your kids on their first fishing expedition but don’t forget: The catch is too full of poisons to eat

Respond to your innate need to faith & get fleeced by greedy and horny Religion Sales Executives
Question massive unaudited dEfense spending and be branded as a weak, unpatriotic, vegan coward
Ask about trying to break the cycle of poverty and get scorned as a foolish & out-of-touch snowflake
Protest neighborhood fracking with other families & have your concerns whitewashed & ignored

You can go low-flush but there’s no political will to address the oncoming global water shortage
Spend all your minuscule free time with the kids, but Big Media still dominates their socialization
Poll pro-environment while the leaders you elected gleefully gut all such agencies & their regulations
Safely dispose of pesticides but get poisoned by the toxins in your car seats, couches & mattresses

Fret over our long-ignored infrastructure decay but just sigh as so much publicity goes to LGBT issues
Own a dozen guns but be unable to protect your family against obesity, heart disease and ignorance
Ignore our vast food animal holocaust but don't let one multi-gen single welfare mom prevent a birth
Proudly display pink ribbons but let those gross prostate cancer sufferers languish in shamed silence

Don’t even whisper that all families & no single parents should be licensed before having kids
Just try to discuss a single payer healthcare system & be branded as a tax & spend, socialist nanny
Ask why capitalism drove us into a mass extinction and they will all know that you really are crazy
Question the reality of God’s mysterious, but horrible & unfair, plan for us all & you shall go to hell!
