Boys…

Take Your Guns to Town.
Do not put them down.
March around the polls.
Hunt them down like trolls.
Wear your camo duds.
Drink suds with your buds.
Take Your Guns to Town.
M’ boys don’t mess around.
Must intimidate.
Voters who aren’t great.
Fuck authorities.
Scare minorities.
Wanna be a star?
Hit them with your car.
Take Your Guns to Town.
Make that freedom sound.
Every gat you heft.
Terrifies the left.
They want anarchy.
We will set them free.
Stand by for my signs.
At the battle lines.
We’ll have law and order.
Just like on the border.
Shout my name out loud.
You boys make me proud.
Please, take your guns to town.

Our Little Proud Boy

We’re so proud of our little Proud Boy.
He’s only eight, but he knows who to hate
and how to shoot. He’s got the arm patch.
And his collection of supremacist memorabilia
could make a nazi drool. We do home school.
His biggest dream is to grow up and play
with the big boys in the coming segregation wars.
And he was so excited by the call out tonight
by our great president, that he peed his pants.
He’ll take that out on some poor bastard someday.

Fetus Force

The government wants your uterus.
Please mail it in a plain brown package
to Fetus Force, A.C.B. div. /SCOTUS9.
It will be reprogrammed, micro-chipped,
patriotically decorated and returned
with proper child-bearing instructions.
A list of government-approved names
and occupation choices will be included.
Fetus Force trackers will trace slackers
and offer standard sterilization services.
Strong and healthy babies will be eligible
for the maga-race initiation program,
and even the future leaders honor roll.
Promising infants may be enrolled
in our SocietyWantsAllMotivatedPeople
training school in a highly secret location.
Please comply immediately.
Do not risk the wrath of Fetus Force.

Grifter in Gold

He’s a loser, just like you, sir.
You, who are his base.
He’s just a con whose time has come.
His suit might match his face.
Throw away that MAGA hat,
in thirty-six days moot.
It will mean,”My Ass Got Axed,”
after he gets the boot.
He cheated on his taxes, yes.
But that’s not the main point.
He’s in loan debt up to his hair.
Soon he’ll be in the joint.
And if orange is the new black,
rich folks investigated,
some more big cons could face his fate,
brought down, incarcerated.

It’s On: Debate Dance-Off

The orange king has charged that sleepy Joe is using drugs,
the kind, in sports, called performance enhancing.
The first debate, they both should be injected with cocaine,
and then forced into hours of disco dancing.
The orange king knew that scene well when he was in his prime.
He boogied at Studio 54.
Looking back, it may well have been his most active time.
He’d go home with a model or a whore.
A dance-off now could be a test. He can’t walk down a ramp.
Did jivin’ Joe do blow in Delaware?
Aside from all the aches and pains and falling on the floor,
the key could be what happens to their hair.

Insurrection Act II

Rotund king in gold bodysuit enters right,
tips his hair, tells a few one-liner lies, exits left,
very slowly, down a small ramp, trips, rolls offstage.
Four elderly white men in turtle suits march in, singing:
” Our king is a good man who hates bad protestors,
who’ll team up with Q to undo all molesters.
If you vote against him, you’re worse than wet worms.
Your house will soon be sprayed with pandemic germs.”
They exit, slowly, right, toward a sign that reads “SWAMP.”
Rotund king reemerges, plumps into a large gold throne.
Attorney General dances a shuffle before him in a cat suit.
He licks the milk the king has left him in a golden bowl, pauses, sings:
” Our king can’t be bothered with things like elections.
He’s too busy making his golf club selections.
There is no pandemic. It’s all an illusion.
Now I must get back to my Russian collusion.”
He huffs off in enormous cat’s feet, heads to the right.
Rotund king spray paints his face, picks up his gold phone,
punches buttons with a flourish and screams “Hello Pooty!”
Vlad the Inhaler enters from the east, bare chested, chants:
” Your king does my bidding, yes, but it’s for your protection.
There’s no way to stop him now. This is the resurrection.
Anyone who dares oppose will soon be wearing fetters.
Russia and USA merge. You just add three new letters.”
He mounts a small trojan horse and rides off tossing condoms.
Rotund king stands atilt, waving a MAGA handkerchief goodbye,
summons his family, a princess, knave, joker, handmaid and geek.
Queen Melanin struts on stage in a jacket that says, “F-Off!” and sings:
” My man loves grabbing pussies and boning porn stars.
He says he’ll be first to put women on Mars.
He told me be best and that means always looking pretty.
If I get wrinkles, he’ll send me off to anarchist city.”
She flounces offstage right to whistles and wolf calls from backstage.
Rotund king, sweating copiously, stands, dripping puddles on the boards.
He picks up a bible, holds it up, sets it afire. Repeats with the Constitution,
then, at center stage, winds a red tie about his head like a bandana, screams:
” You’ll never be rid of my golden fleece face.
When the time’s right, my kids will take my place.
Nothing you do can stop my tyranny.
Wave bye-bye now to your land of the free!”
He ties on a stars-and-stripes cape, floor-length, and shuffles off, leering.
Paramilitary ushers storm the aisles and the audience is arrested. Finis.

Sink-O-Payshun

The golden lips of stimulation
have yet to caress my station
so put off the long vacation
snuggle up to isolation
beating heart media nation
awaits the next great sensation
in the voices of vexation
anarchy becomes temptation
nah nah….
more to come /evolved from failed poem to potential song

Torment

Universal torment is the nature of the game.
Sometimes it’s right, and then the rules just change.
What was, still is, and evermore shall be, but not the same.
And laws, like mad chess pieces, rearrange.
And since the game is run by man, then one must have the rein.
But who appoints that man is still in question.
And what if, at the helm, that man goes visibly insane?
Then who steps forward to make a suggestion?
We dig back through history and analyze commotions,
war, plague, heresy and insurrection.
We vet anger, hatred, greed and other crass emotions,
then boil them down to one big fake election.
A melting pot of irony, grief, graft and family trees
is stirred until it naturally boils over.
And that’s where torment really starts, with people on their knees,
dosed by ennui as devils play red rover.

No Poem Today

This is not the time for rhyme or careful rumination.
Train of thought is overwrought and has just left the station.
Protests down in Louisville of course attracted violence.
Covid’s killed two hundred-thou and all we hear is silence.
President says he may not step down after election.
“Herd mentality’s” his nod to natural selection.
Climate change now threatens our land’s hazardous waste sites.
If you’re in a flood plain near one, best start booking flights.
Health care and abortion rights may soon be stripped away.
There is not one shred of good news. No poem today.

The Handoff

Biden’s going to hand his presidency to Kamala,
then hide in the oval office like it was Valhalla.
That’s the latest racist charge from our beloved leader.
It’s the kind of thing that makes a perfect FOX news feeder.
Cory Booker in the suburbs, sneaking through your yard,
stealing clothing off your line. You know that times are hard.
Watch out for Dem congressman Jeffries. First name is Hakim.
They’ll put him in charge of sleep and he’ll invade your dream.
Then there’s AOC and her squad bud Ilhan Omar.
They will tax you ’til you just have quarters in a jar.
Gays and anarchists will sway your children in their schools.
And ‘Shifty” Schiff’s swift socialism will be our new rules,
It’s all right there in front of you, just listen to the chatter.
So, don’t vote Joe. He’s got to go. He thinks that Black Lives Matter.

Court and Snark

We thought Mitt gave a shit,
but now he’s shown his hand.
He’s just another drummer
in the orange marching band.
So RGB’s replacement
will be named Saturday,
soon’s they get her coffin
out the fucking way.
It’ll be a woman, sure,
but she won’t have Ruth’s heart.
Well, at least it’s not Ted Cruz.
Guess that’s a good start.
Only thing can stop this now,
four senators with guts.
But then they risk the usual,
death by a million cuts.
And so the top court in the land
will tilt way to the right.
As long as Trump’s the upper hand,
the rule is fight or flight.

Fast Forward

This thing didn’t make folks die.
That was all a great big lie.
History will be amended.
Other truths have been upended.
Oh, sure, we defeated ISIS.
And there was no climate crisis.
Iraq’s WMD’s
were a true fact, if you please.
Iran-Contra did not happen.
That was just the left’s mouth flappin’.
JFK’s assassination:
one man, one gun, no sensation.
All that talk of Great Depression,
made up in a bullshit session.
Now this trend to balk at police,
anarchists’ new golden fleece.
History always re-edits.
That’s how good guys get their credits.
Some facts live and some are buried.
Lies and truth have long been married.
Those who criticize our past
find the future changes fast.

Era Ta Ta

This mother fucking twenty-twenty has its share of shots aplenty.
But no one saw this Ruth thing coming, Democrats despondent, bumming.
Ovid could not have predicted politics so self-afflicted.
Before you can take a breath, Mitch McConnell’s on her death,
singing that we soon shall see our dear king’s next nominee.
Amy Coney Barrett takes the top with no surprises.
A seventh child with seven children, anti-Roe surmises.
Forty-five days we thought would be most excruciating
now loom as a forward zoom toward future carbon dating.

No Justice

Of course he had her killed on Rosh Hashanah.
He likes to mar big dates with evil deeds.
And killing of the Democrats’ madonna
had become uppermost amongst his needs.
We might see Ted Cruz on the Supreme Court.
Or maybe Big Bill Barr or Judge Jeanine.
Moscow Mitch will bitch that time is so short
his men must rush this through, know what I mean?
The fate of Merrick Garland does not matter.
That was a matter from a different time.
This justice will be named despite the splatter.
Yes, it’s amoral, but it’s not a crime.
The lives of our grandchildren will be tainted
for decades by our mad king’s justice picks.
Their future, bleak already, will be painted
by one crazy rich man’s dirty tricks.

Viral News

Big Ten bullied back into action. Athletes never die.
They just get stiff. Like those hundred thousand birds
just dropping dead in New Mexico. Wind mills?
Likely dream catchers. Melania replacement statue
in her hometown still more life-like than the original.
Kim K West freezing social media accounts in protest,
while Kanye is doxxing Forbes editor in a bipolar snit.
Sally is roaring up the alley, just another deadly flood.
ICE is building a uterus wall on the border of insanity.
The king bitch slaps science while his HHS spokesman
tells gun owners ammunition will soon be like toilet paper,
then takes a mental health leave of absence. What swamp?

Big Daddy

Look, over in the corner.

It’s Daddy Longlegs.
You know, the one who
killed the Brown Recluse.
Even the Black Widow
is afraid of this bad daddy.
Who’s actually a good daddy,
guarding his eggs valiantly.
He’s only got one set of eyes,
and looks to kind humans
for good shelter,
except in Antarctica.
And he has one impressive
body segment.
He’s probably got thousands
of friends, some old as seven.
He’s an urban legend.
But be careful of his legs.
They won’t grow back.

Exit the Sandman

Our king has built
a castle of mistakes.
On shifting sands.
And still the waves don’t reach.
Seaweed lashes walls,
snails charge
and seagulls peck the gates.
But the tide will decide.
And the moon adjusts its volume.

Red Tape

He didn’t want a panic.
He hates to see us manic.
Just die and go in peace.
Some day this thing will cease
and go away like magic.
Oh, sure, it was quite tragic.
As long as stocks do not decline,
everything will be just fine.
New rising employment figures,
boosted by need for grave diggers,
show that we will come back stronger,
even if this goes on longer.
Watch them all fight for vaccines.
Gee, I love my pharma queens.
It wasn’t so much a reach
when I told folks to drink bleach.
Saves the family getting sicker.
Culls the herd a whole lot quicker.
Next disease, I need some stats,
showing it kills Democrats.
Sure, I’ll get a lot of flack,
targeting the brown and black.
Hark back to the great wild west,
where the white man could “be best.”
No one dared threaten their guns.
If they did, they were dead ones.
U.S. can be great once more.
Just eliminate the poor.
Autocrats and working serfs.
Blue states gone, just like the Smurfs.
Ted Cruz named to Supreme Court
will make sure moms can’t abort.
Supreme General William Barr,
just awarded his tenth star,
will maintain an enforced peace.
All protest will henceforth cease.
Without all the thugs and haters,
life will be good for dictators.
People crying to be free?
They are all just dead to me.

Gone Bouzouki

An Irish bouzouki, when played by a Wookie
can be mournful, hearty or hairy.
But in a quartet with the bad Boba Fett
on his lute the results were just scary.
Yoda had to save face up on his washtub bass.
Crazy Lando went Toth-wild on skins.
But when the music ended, the Empire unfriended.
And so, a new Star Wars begins.

All the President’s Mien

Trump just confessed everything on tape.
Bill Barr now wants us to fund Trump’s rape.
Mike Pence is going to a QAnon rally.
B&B Inferno opened, California Valley.
The land’s afire, like a worn out tire,
and Frisco’s skies are red.
Trump knew the danger, fucking liar,
now they’re HIS COVIDead.
There is not a bandage big enough to cover this.
Hold this in your mind: his off-to-prison goodbye kiss.
