What’s the point to continuously watering, fertilizing, poisoning & mowing an artificially green lawn
Who benefits from your propaganda-induced, reptilian brain level patriotism – Besides the politicians
How do you triumph & what do you win still acting out as an adult - As a rabid anti-environmentalist
What now remains of all those timeless selfies that just get lost with your phone…once again

Is that beautiful tan really worth winding up like some wrinkled old turtle, riddled with skin cancer
Why would great Allah order death to those who worship him too, but are of a slightly different sect

Why drink yourself into the same loud & retarded state during all of your preciously-little free time
What remains after a corporate life spent asskissing, shoulderclimbing, backbiting & beating down
How is blankly prostrating your fat self before ad-driven media a fitting reward for a hard days work

Why do you think your divine right to halt all abortions is among the most important issues to us all
What’s the point to richly-appointed multi-million dollar churches that stand empty 6½ days a week
Why bother teaching the boys to fish since their catch is so full of poisons that it is not safe to eat
Why let developers rip up good farmland cheaper than recycling their shoddy, abandoned strip malls

What do you gain by scornfully dismissing all their initiatives - Without providing any of your own
Is that factory-fast-food really so good that it’s worth the poisoned pounds you gain - Year after year
Why let them drain underground aquifers for free when you’ll have no other water after they leave
How can you not see the waste of idling a hulking 3 ton vehicle simply as a personal air-conditioner

Where’s the point in ripping new bandit trails on federal land while plopped on your fat ass in an ATV
Why do you need a 300 horsepower, 5 passenger crossover to drive to work every day – All alone

Please explain where the Southwest will get water when their aquifers and the Colorado both dry up
It’s bewildering how we let the roads, bridges, electric, water and internet just decay all around us
I’m befuddled by the fierce & loudly-proud disdain for educated rationality that’s so popular today

If find it disconcerting that my health benefits keep shrinking but my payments always only go up
I get confused between the Ask your doctor abouts and the Have you or a loved one suffered froms
My thinking must be muddled on those litmus test issues: I don’t find any of them too very important
I’m discomfited by cooked gov’t inflation figures that just can’t include half the stuff we have to buy

I’m unsettled that conservatives only want to talk stuff like guns, abortion & corporate welfare
It confounds me that the Clean Coal people refuse to remove brain-damaging mercury...for our kids
I get disoriented in the black smoke, C02 & loud noise billowing off all their fat, fuel-guzzling pickups
I puzzle over holding the door for an equally-paid co-worker leaving early again to helicopter her kids

I’m baffled as to why we all need to carry assault weapons in order to maintain domestic tranquility
I’m mystified that real men spend 20 hrs a week staring at other men bent over in really tight pants
It’s perplexing how all political speeches end with an exceptionist imperative that God Bless America
I’m clueless as to how they idle in A/C’d comfort in drivethru lines while billions subsist on $1 a day

I am confused as to how our savior-ordained stewardship of this earth produced a 6th mass extinction
I’m flummoxed hearing BigOil tout a fracked energy independence - Even as they profitably export it
I need clarity as to why no one dares even mention that human overpopulation is our biggest problem
Help me to comprehend why we constantly cut social programs yet always raise dEfense spending

It is difficult to grasp how billions retain any faith in comically-silly & truly stale religious franchises
I just don’t get how we can piously ban abortions and righteously ignore all the poor, fatherless kids
Why would we re-elect the old, white men who already sucked before all they did was just say NO!?
What’s so wrong with profiling groups if they commit most of the crimes or all of the terrorism?
