This Land Was Made of Dust

What to do with a presidential name?

Observe, and one will see where they belong.

Oppression drives families apart—

Desperation becomes an identity—Okie dokey—

Yet few do much to balance the playing field.

To hell with wealth and greed,

Hardship falls harder on the have-nots.

Revolution, though, has its costs.

In the end, a wandering singing prophet is an

Excellent target for corporal confinement.
