The Leader in Capital Returns

Terri Schiavo, Terri Schiavo
since 1990 oh, you’ve suffered so
and now they won’t let you go
even though…the one you loved
says you would want to be
let go

The Presidential leader in capital…returns
from his ranch where he stays
not to stay a death row injection
this man whose hands have signed
a way to inject a tube into many who’s…
who have gone through less judicial reviews
then this beautiful woman who heaven would claim
if it weren’t for political gains
for a feeding tube to remain

Politics, tick, tick, tick, talk of Big Government…
shrinks now that they control the White House
they want in your home

Republicans can if they can’t count on Florida courts
go Federal
courting their new philosophy expressed since the Presidential election
where they ruled Supreme
now have a new dream to control your
bedroom scenes

What constitutes marriage is its secret…
sayings sacred between…
he vows she would now want to be released
but for
Republicans who can’t see or read doctor or marital rights
they set their sights on parental sounds
um……biblical chords

Dubbed
“The Palm Sunday Compromise”
they deny him and her
giving standing over spousal rights to delight right to lifers
who want parental or presidential control for life
or any control that extols
their pursuit of your life…
your liberty
and especially your pursuit of happiness
