WE the People

 

Stop knocking diversity

as a dire threat to democracy

with your ignorant digs...

Don't piss on the concept of unity and indivisibility

like they are such radical philosophies...

Why is it that the kids today

can see equality's beacon light so clearly 

while my bitter generation still clings

to the old ways of darkness?

Lapping up all the old deceptions

laced with lazy stereotypes...

Instead of being prisoners to our history

we should be the ones leading the charge

to permanently blast away the sins of the past...

The times truly are a changing  

so we dinosaurs best adapt

and get with the inclusion program ...

Let go of the segregation we once knew...

The American Revolution continues. 

Dumb Struck Cult

 

If you have the audacity

to now label Twitter 
as the letter X

cause a man child

billionaire says so

If you actually believe
the Gulf of Mexico
is now the Gulf of America
because of an idiot's decree

If you relate
to the inbred morons
who dream of Canada
one day being the 51st state

You are in a mindless cult my son

Run your nonsense

up the flagpole

as some sort of sick

loyalty litmus test

Rename and rebrand

reality to your heart's content

But at the end of the day

We all laugh at your naivete 
and the ass you rode in on
for the bowel movement
of the MAGA accident
soon to be flushed
down the toilet drain of history

What a relief that will be

Be True to Yourself

 

The chances of you and I
escaping this flash orgy
with our virtue still intact
is virtually an impossibility

The paper thin fragility
of long ago Sunday School morality
drilled into our fair heads
well before we were ever acquainted
with the pleasures supplied

by partaking of physical temptation

As the years accumulate
and the implanted guilt dissipates
we realize finally
the futility
of constantly restraining
our natural urges

based on an ancient second hand text

written by self serving hypocrites

and passed down through the centuries

by charlatans and control freaks

Tibi ipsi esto fidelis

Angel Bust

 

The heavenly chorus dropped down

from the azure sky
singing hosannas and lullabies

Everywhere we went
the cherubs were around

Century piled upon century

We heard the music
but not the sound

Never focusing on the lyrics

They politely requested
we sinners join their harmony serene
but we did not take
these messengers seriously

So this pissed off ensemble
quickly transposed
to apocalypse mode

While our ship
was sinking
the band played on

A dirge for us all

A requiem for the gone

Wither Americana

 

The MAGA legions
wear red threads made in China
and preach American exceptionalism
dispensing missives of ethnic nationalism
that have sparked conflicts
throughout history

Wrapped in red white and blue
the America First crew
eschews the world view
for a narrow myopic reality
that have fueled wars
throughout history

Peeking out from behind the wall
the protectionism mob
of anti globalist guardians
practice excessive tariff levies
guaranteed to wreck economies
that have led to recessions
throughout history

and so it goes...

Events will spiral out of control

Of course
those pulling the strings

from behind the scenes will profit

Strife will be the norm for the rest

Perhaps this time
our ignorance proves fatal

Death being the ultimate destiny
of all empires throughout history

Or maybe

This latest episode

of self inflicted agony will make the best painful lesson

that resonates with us for once An ignorant child

who burns their hand on a hot stove learns to never do it again

At least in theory
