Oh Condescenda, When will it end-a?

"Ms. Rice told reporters traveling with the president's party from South Africa to Uganda that the C.I.A. had approved the contents of the State of the Union address before Mr. Bush delivered it in January."

Wrote this little ditty a while ago, seems ever so relevant today.

Oh Condescenda
When will it end-a?
Please let us in
on your hidden agenda
A person who came
from noble roots
shouldn’t associate
with snakes in suits

Oh Condescenda
I can’t pretend-a
I don’t understand
So tell me again-da
Was it for“ liberation”
or “WMD’s”
this administration
can do as they please?

Dr. Condescenda
When will it end-a?
You hold an opinion
you can’t defend-a
Why don’t you use your
talent for good?
Persuading these tyrants
to do as they should?

Oh Condescenda
They’re not your friend-a
If you allow them
they’ll use you again-da
Putting a face
of diversity
on to a “good ol’ boy society”

Oh Condeleeza
When will there be peace-a?
Like the smile on the face
of the Mona Lisa
From this road that you travel
you can’t turn back
For it is yourself
that you now attack

~Batman~
