Let Hate Die

When racists and hatemongers die,
don't utter their name,
let them be forgotten,
but remember the one lesson they shared -
hate is easier to spread than love, and takes far less effort.

450,000 dead

The numbers are climbing
the vaccines are straining
pragmatics isolating
anonymous spreading
the disease.

A New Day

Meet the new boss,
same as the old boss,
well, not the boss we just got rid of,
the one before.

400,000 dead

400,000 Americans died. If we had a real president it would have been less.

Speak Spake Spoke

Sean served up a spicy plate,
Sarah's dish was bitter,
Stephanie arrived to the party late,
Kayleigh's fork was bigger.

Study notes:
In the reading above, what does the fork represent?

Sleeping with the enemy

My pillow gives me dreams,
of walls that separate the browns from me,
that lock the the future into cages,
that oppress the pen and mute the pages,
and visions of boots on necks of the poor,
burn my pillow - suffer its dreams no more.

Treason Little

The sky is falling

the president is calling

don't believe the truth

don't believe your eyes

I won the election - the sky is falling he cries

Oh woe is me

oh woe is you

Don't believe the truth

be strong be tough stand proud stand by

the sky is falling - you can't believe your eyes!

take it back

wrong is right

when it's backed by the red blue and WHITE

don't fear a line of blue,

like the sea of red it will part for you

and into the house you can fly

it's only insurrection if you lose

and I never lose, he cries.

 

350,000 Dead

 Let that sink in.

And think about this:

“If we are to have another contest in the near future of our national existence, I predict that the dividing line will not be Mason and Dixon's but between patriotism and intelligence on the one side, and superstition, ambition and ignorance on the other.”

-- Ulysses S. Grant

Code Peach

Three hundo dead

Six hundo useless

Tax cut for one percenters

Mutation frustration

Code Peach: Martial Law

Here come vaccines

Here come vaccines, here come vaccines, right down denial lane,

it's not antidote, don't get your hopes up, you still gotta act sane!

Bells are ringing, white supremacists are meeting, clashes through the night,

so cover your face and shelter in place and you might get the shot and survive.

250,00 dead

Trump lied = 250,00 died.

tha Gambla

Ya gotto know,
when to hold em,
when to fold em,
when to walk away,
when to run,
Ya never count votes electoral,
sitting at the resolute,
there's time to beg your pardon,
when penny takes the fall.

Make Every Vote Count

One person, one vote. 

End the electoral college.

Natural Election

bandy about the corers
straps round the opposers
barker shouts 'truth' - brother shouts 'lies'
ears clenched shut, mouth gone wide
chad and chaff and comity - refuse!

Debates these days

Round and round the lectern
pockets filled with yes men
economy to ashes
science in doubt

a frank warning

 Murdochian Future

The digital heel,
raised of pulp,
learned hearst-orian,
golden words divide,
shadow politic,
heed the Frank warning.

SCOTUS Trump Donor

Secret Trump donor,
Hiding in a corner,
scheming a financial lie,
Tax break for the rich,
Profits off the sick,
SCOTUS confirmation as thousands die.

The Meritorious RBG

All hail the Meritoriuos RBG,
who blazed a trail for all to see,
Opportunity for all - not one,
Work the Senate hopes to be undone,
Corporations cash in on America's moral bankruptcy.

Vote by Mail (if you can)

There once was a country named America,
whose virtues we're all aware of, yeah?
though the USPS united east to west
Trump ended it due to paranoid dementia.

Study point.
In the above paragraph what is the subject of the word 'it?'

Red and Proud

Republicans are red,
Russians are, too,
Trump is a fascist,
and so is Fox News.

Talking point: Why does Fox News love Trump and hate anti-fascism?
