Well, Ron, after giving the matter a great deal of thought, I think these
two: "Such Savage Thirst"
http://masalai.free.fr/Such-Savage-Thirst.html
and "There wasn't any jobs:"
http://masalai.free.fr/no-jobs.html
are the ones most useful in the current economic climate - and besides, if
people do take up the challenge of turning the
http://masalai.free.fr/no-jobs.html one into a song or chant:

"Nota Bene: If any gifted singer, songwriter, band, etc, wants to make
political hay out of this poem, please feel free to do so - as long as you
remember who wrote it, and provide due acknowledgement and attribution."

it'll make my day!

Then I'll cackle deep inside my Evil Overlord's Overcoat (TM) ...

Such Savage Thirst

 - empty days filled with time,
 and its many empty deaths,
 so painfully slow;
 bloodred sunsets and all that jazz,
 hot norwesters and freezing rain ...

 while political speeches drag hindquarters
 like a dog to slow death,
 its backbone shattered;
 like the unemployed hours
 that suck blood from the heart of hope

 - the day differs from its sire
 only in its lame excuses -

 I am Unemployment:
 no teen devil of mediaeval night,
 no ancient Commie demon
 ever stalked your souls
 with such savage thirst,
 such diabolical delight
