Campaign

Dean's chubby-cute. and Kerry's like Lincoln.
Joe Lieberman's Republican; Clark, too.
Al Sharpton scares folks who don't like thinkin'.
John Edwards: southern Democrat, true blue.

The media chase sound bites for broadcasts,
Not caring what's the message, just ratings.
Through chili suppers, stumps, pancake breakfasts,
Their mics record well-spun contemplatings.

There's one, consistant voice in all the noise.
His peace and justice message gets ignored.
He's not slick, glitzy hype, like other boys.
The corp'rate media whine that they're bored.

Kucinich keeps on talkin' through the haze.
He tells his truth. For that, he's earned my praise.
