Be suspicious, very suspicious,
of rich people
campaigning hard
to lower taxes.
Be suspicious, very suspicious,
of ambitious politicians
who pretend occupancy
of the high moral ground.
Be suspicious, very suspicious,
of good religious people
for whom methods
are validated by their purpose.
Be suspicious, very suspicious,
of those whose shrill voices
are inversely proportioned
to their respect for truth.
Be suspicious, very suspicious,
of any war
waged in any country
that has fields of oil.
Be suspicious, very suspicious,
of every party policy
that includes the word
‘solution.’
