Legal Advice

Thoreau:
So Mr Dawson do you think we have a case?
Mr Dawson:
How would you pay my legal fee in the first place?
Thoreau:
Isn't that question a little off base?
Anyway you said we can pay when we win
Mr Dawson:
Well we won't we've lost before we can begin
Thoreau:
A worthy cause is still worth the time to invest in
Mr Dawson:
Thoreau you can't make a living on a worthy cause
I know of all the legal torts and read every contract clause
And on all technical levels the company obeyed all the bylaws

Failure

Farmer Neil:
Things are not going as we predicted
Every farmer in the union just got evicted
Thoreau:
But your contract didn't imply unions were restricted
Farmer Neil:
No but thanks to that corporate shill
We were all signed and hired at will
They can fire and evict without any obligations to fulfill
Thoreau:
So basically they can fire you all anytime they feel
That doesn't sound like a legal deal
We could get a lawyer to file an appeal
Farmer Neil:
And how would we pay for the legal fee
I'm going to appeal to the tobacco company
See if they'd consider rehiring me

No Offense Taken "Cyrano's Witnesses"

(porch steps)
Cyrano's Witness #1: Hello I'm just going door to door to promote my local book club would you be interested in reading and discussing Cyrano de Bergerac?
Home Owner: Which translation?
Cyrano's Witness #2: The Lowell Bair translation of 1972.
Home Owner: No I wouldn't then I only read the King James translation. (shuts door)

CEO Meeting

Raleigh:
Hello my fellow CEOs sorry about the ACLU's backlash
But our product is fool proof against a market crash
It's more addictive than heroine, users would find boycotts too rash
CEO #1:
All the same we have union busters to appeal for government investigation
This isn't our first proletariat instigation
CEO #2:
But if we make this political non-smokers can provoke new litigation
CEO #3:
Not likely since we live in a constant state of social apathy
Citizens don't care what's allowed as long as it doesn't hurt their own liberty
We can continue to sell death in the spirit of living free

Poetry Post 310 (next to last peotry blogpost!!!!)

Masochist
I mop up other people's small problems like a dish rag
I take other people's hostility like a punching bag
I help acquaintances worse off than me
But my "true friends" are my worst enemy
Acquaintances see me as a gentleman they can trust
Friends look at me like I'm a slave of lust
My acquaintances I can confide in when I'm hurt
But at home I'm a rejected pervert
Sinners of lust are punished by sinners of wrath
Defense mechanisms of guilt deter my path
As I defend an already bruised ego
For those who don't even half know

Road To Conquering
How hard is hard enough
The road to recovery is too rough
The battle is my own
So I have to conquer it alone
I don't want others to get in the fight
Even if it may seem right
I can't carry this heavy load covered in fears
With the faces of disgust, misunderstanding, pity and tears
Dragging behind me all day and all night
If I go alone I alone lose the fight

(this poem was in part from being falsely accused of something terrible and not having anyone who believed me by my side at the time because it sounded like something I would do and other parts about the general disapproval I felt from various adult authorities for going through puberty)
Capital Punishment
Joey has been a bad boy today
Let's take all his pride and joy away
Let's tear his flesh and break his bones apart
Let's fry his brain and freeze his broken heart
This punishment is still too low
For a boy with a libido
When did he become such a sick pervert
Joey deserves to get himself hurt
What good in the world has come out of being in love
Though it was divinely created from God above
It is only a myth that there is a beauty of birth
We were not commanded to populate the entire Earth

Agricultural Cultivation Laborers Union

Thoreau:
Welcome to the Agricultural Cultivation Laborers Union
We are uploading this video on the web so the world can tune in
I'm not a farmer but have access to the conditions they are working in
This is farmer and president Neil Zimmerman
He's going to outline the union's goals and its plan
Farmer Neil:
Thank you Thoreau these are the goals of a years time span
The tobacco companies promise high wages as an incentive to grow
But when every farmer at the poverty line tries the wages drop low
But addiction still costs a fortune for those using the tobacco
So the ACLU district 36 is on a mission
That farmers always get paid on commission
And get government grants for those farming cheaper crops on a moral decision
And we recommend a state maximum acreage to grow tobacco on
And the farmers willing can rotate on that opportunity every season
So that economically and ecologically everyone's helped within reason
