Before I left I promised Peg
My co-protester of four years
That I would appear for the
CWRU medical school march
Demonstration for Medicare-
For-All national day of action
She apologized if this would
Conflict with my son’s future in
Medicine with the country’s
Desperate need for universal
Health care not that Andy will
Ever see me chanting what do
We want health care when do
We want it now everybody’s in
Nobody’s out we want health
Care not corporate welfare
Typically nobody there from
The local media if he sees it at
All it would likely be from me
Borrowing somebody’s file
Footage everybody using their
Phones to broadcast the local
March to the coordinating center
Too low profile for the FBI who
I am certain have my pic from
The Washington war protest in
2011 despite all the University
Circle police the Case Western
University police the city of
Cleveland had an officer assigned
To accompany us on the way
First asking do you have a
Permit following a prompt
From some person at the other
End then who’s your
Sponsor for this action then
He hung back and let us
Thirty citizens or so have a
Snatch at our first amendment
Rights of speech and assembly
Granted some in the march
Had a distinctly Asian or
Hispanic air about them
I have learned such foreigners
Can often be from families in
The states longer than my
Polacks citizens to boot I
Saw no turbans that sure sign
Of radical Islam among us
But surveillance can never be
Too much just never know
When those socialists in
Medicare for All don’t start
Shooting at crowds of good
Amuricans with the AK-47s
They’d whip out from under
The North Face fall jackets
Or from inside their CWRU
White coats after all what are
They bitching about they got
Their God awful Obamacare
That’s killing our jobs and
Sending them overseas now
They want us to give free
Medical care to illegal
Aliens just to keep them
From dying here in the good
Old U S of A
