You Have the Right to Remain Silent

You have the right to remain silent

And not mess with our economic plans

Or our summer homes

Or our other privileges we were smart enough

To be born into, unlike you,

Who the god of our design and interpretation

Saw fit to place in the common class

To struggle for your edification

And the chastisement of your forbearer’s sins.

We, from our lofty positions,

By the grace of our god,

See no reason to give you the advantage

Of an equal voice against our better judgment

Of what is right for the uneducated masses.

It is our right and responsibility,

By dint of our place and standing and bank account

To make decisions we feel are for

The good of the country

We believe we are representative of.

Therefore we have decided

You have the right to remain silent

And stay in your place and keep your mouth shut

And not vote about things beyond your comprehension.
