Self Evident

cuz take away our playstations
and we are a third world nation
under the thumb of some blue blood royal son
who stole the oval office and that phony election
i mean
it don't take a weatherman
to look around and see the weather
jeb said he'd deliver florida, folks
and boy did he ever

and we hold these truths to be self evident:
#1 george w. bush is not president
#2 america is not a true democracy
#3 the media is not fooling me

This is from a very powerful poem entitled, Self Evident by Ani DiFranco. You can read the poem here, or better yet, listen to the mp3 here. I get chills everytime I hear it. Even if you disagree with her politics, her amazing use of metaphor and description of the 9/11 tragedy are profound and moving.
