dear Obama

while you were busy tapping fiber networks // hacking encryption data
& swearing overseas only
there were children being murdered in philadelphia

while you were busy spending money // to tap communications networks
& fund drone strikes
there were children being murdered in chicago

{murdered//starving//uneducated//cycle.cycle.cycle}

while you were busy shaking the hands of plutocrats // tapping the phone of another
& keeping tabs on terrorism
there were united states citizens starving

while you were busy with infighting in the house // to slowly erode the constitution
& maintaining a positive out look
there were united states citizens working homeless

{murdered//starving//uneducated//cycle.cycle.cycle}


{you wanna soft shoe, you wanna velvet tongue, but you tap dancing like a madman and we all got a head ache}
