[stylist] Expanded poem; Rabble

[Brad Dunsé]

Truth in them thar words. Your poem wraps up the 
thoghts I had towards a politically based tune I 
wrote last year. But, it is me so, I wrote it and 
played it out some. Run, plug their ears, or 
smile, it is my view. It's what I call a swizzle 
stick song, stir up the attitudes a little :).
