A Question for Authority by Sam Flot 2004



A Question For Authority

by sam flot 2004

Back in the day
All hung up
On a wall
In the Museum of Futility
Compassion was the catch phrase
Under trees of shade or sunsets

Always playing the game
Close to the vest
Taking and using every advantage
Hyper-hypocritical
In staking off the high ground

Only games of strategy
Are played n a flat board
On an even playing field

Nothing like
Helping out
By reporting “suspicious activities” and
“unsafe conditions”
Either in public oratories or
In one’s own home

I have a question for authority

Where’d ya get that hat?
Looks great on you
Matches your outfit
Really works on you!

But don’t you feel like hell?
It’s been like the old days lately
You been on quite a bender
Havin’ a good time


Lyin’
Cheatin’
Lootin’
Stealin’

Gutting the constitution
Gutting the rules which enforce
Checks and balances
Gutting the environment down to a stump

You’ll be all apologies
When the bender’s over

And
It must be
Very tiring
Very exhausting

Still I gotta ask one question

Where’d ya get that hat?
