THE COMPLAINERS, A Selection From THE SUN LOVES EVERY PLANET







Where’s my handout they ask

You owe me

I’ve got it coming to me

I’m a victim


Tired of hearing them complain

About how oppressed they are

They give them handouts

Again and again

Though nothing changes

They give them more


Too busy to care

They eat at

Drive through windows

Doing their best to ignore

The drive by shootings

They lock themselves

In their houses

Afraid to walk the streets

In their own neighborhoods


Even their violence is lazy

It would require effort

To park the car and skill

To hit what you’re shooting at

Maybe we owe them

Shooting lessons too

At least that way

Innocent people

Wouldn’t get caught

In their careless crossfire


What’s next?

Should taxpayers pay

For their cocaine

Methamphetamine and bullets too?

That’s a great idea

Let’s buy them bullets

So they can shoot at us more


Let’s give them taxpayer dollars

To get more tattoos

Let’s give them taxpayer dollars

So they can buy nicer shoes

Let’s give them taxpayer dollars

When I can’t even afford

To put gas in my car


Maybe we should

Give them our homes

Maybe we should all move

And give them the entire country

Who would they complain to

And sponge off of then?

There would be no one left

But other complainers

Freeloaders who only take

What was never theirs

In the first place

Then have the nerve to complain

That it isn’t enough


The courtrooms are overflowing

The news grows more depressing

Every day

Too tired to protest

Hard working people sit in silence

Afraid to speak up

Afraid to take action

They watch their country

Decline more and more

With each passing year


Is it our civic duty

To pay for someone

To have more children

That they can’t afford to take care of?


How about if I quit my job

And you can pay for me

To sit and do nothing

But complain?

Yeah, how about that?
