Coati Coalition

They found the lemur who was kidnapped
from the Frisco zoo.
He roamed a park in Daly City,
early-voted, too.
He was pleased, part of the group
called “Lemurs Against Trump.”
If he could free the meerkats,
Biden would get quite the bump.
All zoos are a hotbed now
of Democratic zeal.
Many caged love AOC,
fans of her Green New Deal.
From penguins to gnus,
you’ll never hear much about Trump.
The only time they shout his name
is when they take a dump.

A.G. Blues

Trump and Barr are falling out
and may break up as well.
The A.G. failed to jail Barack,
and now can go to hell.
Big Bill worked hard to prop him up.
but now he’s let him down.
He’s worried, and his Flintstone face
now wears a constant frown.
He doesn’t want to get the boot,
the Sessions walk of shame.
He knew the rules, that if you lose,
you’re kicked out of Trump’s game.
So, after Barr, he can’t look far;
there’s no time for a quest.
To gain some votes, pick some big star.

I Heard of a Herd

I heard of a herd
that swallowed a word
that led them downhill
into a mass kill.
Their lives were o.k.,
but not so today.
Went down in defeat.
And now they’re just meat.
Dead dreams on American buns.
Bodies piling up by the tons.
It’s everything the master always craved,
endless tombstones with his name engraved.
I heard of a herd
who thought words absurd.
Who summoned the will
to march back uphill,
their lives to retrieve.
The master must leave.
The land will revive.
And love can survive.
New notes in our country’s songs,
promising to right our wrongs.
A healing world, a brighter sky.
We mourn the souls who had to die.

Indigenous People’s Day

When Indians got in the way,
from the first invasion day,
there was always hell to pay.
Or maybe just some beads.
The natives gave their corn,
got nothing back but scorn,
torn, rounded up, forlorn.
But yet, no white heart bleeds.

Grin and Barrett

She’s a registered fetus saver.
That’s her peculiar flavor.
No biblical contortion
says Jesus hates abortion.
But she’ll control your motherhood
by voting Roe v. Wade’s no good.
She claims religion won’t distract her.
Lifetime piety’s no factor.
She’s a woman just like you,
just spends more time in a pew.
Right wing Christians now rejoice
at the coming lack of choice.
No more need to picket clinics.
Fuck all those agnostic cynics.
Blatant unprotected bangers
can go back to using hangers.
Little girls who get the urge,
face the population surge.
Babies, babies, everywhere,
many now without health care,
since she’ll kill the ACA.
Reproduce. Have a nice day.
