This week's the word (I hope) will challenge you to new levels:lavish
I can't wait to see what you come up with!



Pimped Lady Justice




They're lavished with profits

They're lavished with praise

They're lavished with tax cuts

We're lavished with malaise



The balance is upset

Lady Justice a whore

Justice to the highest bidder

Not one drop for the poor



The huge Lone Star State

Which once had been great

Once friendly and smiling

Now degenerATE



Lawmakers playing

The corporate fiddle

How they retrieve votes

A mysterious riddle



Joblessness booming

Jobs keep cutting back

Slash benefits and pay

To all those who do lack



Their destructive measures

Are destroying all

Humans and animals

Continue to fall



Who can we turn to

When we're destitute

When old Lady Justice

Is a prostitute?
