Oh peacemakers,
your fiery tactics inspire us.
Your colorful plumage makes you easy to spot
those precious few times when the
corporate media lets us
glimpse your fair visages.
You stand up and you speak out
for peace, for justice, for all.
In a world engulfed in war,
in a country led by an idiot,
in a time of unparalleled corporate greed,
you are the beer we drink when our thirst
overwhelms us.
Rachel Maddow
Siren of the progressive airwaves
we hear you out here in
purple America.
Siren of the left
we see you after the moon has
chased the sun from the sky.
Siren, you fill our heads with wisdom
and our eyes with your boyish
yet feminine good looks.
Siren, we know you are lesbian,
not that there anything
wrong with that,
but we have a crush on you anyway.
Sirens go off when you appear on
Countdown with Olbermann.
Hearts flutter when we listen to your
voice via the series of
tubes known as the internets.
Long may you speak,
long may you appear on
the only TV news show we trust,
long may your close cropped hair
fall on your cranium.
And as someone else
once said in a rock and roll song,
"Long may you run."
