Dread Knock

 

The closet nihilist in me
is really looking forward
to January twenty
when the orange shit
splatters the fan

and the clown show

rolls into town..

The day when our national penance
will commence
as our tribe wanders the wilderness
for four fucking years..

Such is the price of mass ignorance
compounded by the arrogance
of the dumb ass majority

awash in apathy

and emotion fueled delusions..

Maybe crash and burn

is the only way

for the fever to break

so the body politic

can purge this MAGA virus

from our national consciousness

once and for all..

Then again

maybe I'll be wrong

and this new administration

will be a hit sensation..

Perhaps the projected pessimism

is all in my negative head..

If so, I will be happily mistaken

because unlike the many zealot partisans

on my defeated side 

of the political divide

I want my country to succeed
