Twice Told Tales

My colleague Jacko said he votes for the candidate with traditional family values 
meaning he's a single-issue voter against gay marriage.
I said his party is burglars who sedate the dog with a bone 
before they plunder the store.
And William said he considers his life is over because
I held him down when he was a kid and shoved drugs down his throat
and refused to help him get a job
that I ruined his life by insisting he’s totally permanently mentally ill.
I said blame me for whatever you want but leave the past behind
it’s eating you up.
He screamed he just wants me to show some understanding that I ruined his life.
I said to my colleague that campaigning for your vote they ooze family values
when elected they take as much money and power as they can
your sexual intimacy is not their religious belief.
I said I can’t listen to you when you're yelling at me
talk without yelling or I can’t understand.
And William said he doesn’t believe the person I call Bill exists
the permanently disabled person who can never have friends
who can’t have an interesting conversation
that person doesn’t exist.
The new congressional majority stated their agenda priorities
demonstrating their capability to lead the nation
and representing the American people
first they'll enable the Keystone Pipeline
and the Obamacare freeloaders must work more hours.
