A Corporation is a Person?   Just think about it for a second or two.

I thought we put an end to this 151 years ago.  Thank you Abraham Lincoln.

The Supreme Court didn’t think this one through

Stock ownership should be up for review

If you accept the assertion

A corporation’s a person

Then shareholders are Slave owners too.

Up until now bankruptcy has just been standard business practice.

If the justices had been more alert or

Taken their reasoning further

They’d realize that granting

Personal standing 

Means bankruptcy turns into murder.

A Corporation is a Person, my Friend.

The Supreme Court has ruled (Citizens United) that a corporation has many of the same rights as a human,  "free speech" being one of them, remember Money = Speech.

Though they’re God fearing women and men 

The supreme court defied logic again

In utter defiance

Of religion and science

They created life with the stroke of a pen.

I would like the court to explain

How a corporation can possibly attain

Humanity

With no eyes to see

No heart, no lungs and no brain.

All this comes up because the Court is considering a case in which a company claims its "deeply held religious convictions" should allow it to deny its employees health coverage for contraception.

The Supreme Court is reviewing a brief

Of a company seeking relief

It claims a corporation

- An inanimate creation -

Has a deeply held religious belief.

... to be continued.

 Ignoring the Big News of the Week

It’s snowing.!

The long term demographic trend

Will take power from elderly white men

Ol’ Man Winter is white

But he’s gonna fight

With a blizzard right up to the end.

Leaving aside for the moment the tragic disappearance of an airliner, a mud slide, the ongoing crises in Ukraine, Syria, Afghanistan, What might be Palestine, Ebola virus outbreaks, starvation, poverty ...... march madness ... you might have missed this important news.

The leadership of the world convenes

To discuss the method and means

To deal with Crimea

The press’s idea

Is to diss Obama’s blue jeans. 

Reaction to the Previous Post

I castigate these billionaire fellows

And mock the inane things they tell us

So some might surmise

That I criticize

Because I’m a little bit jealous.
