Elephant Manifesto

They deny the truth, 

thin white skin,

they would use the chains again,

no need for the hood,

brazen, maskless,

suppressing votes before they're cast,

break the unions and puff up the baronies,

defund the hospitals and shorten expectancies,

hobble the schools and stunt all abilities,

force prayer in school in church,

erase the others, the dregs,

bow down to the elephant man.

Trial of the Century

Another trial of the century,

another police death squad caught in the act,

another trial of the murdered,

another lash across America's back.

Texas Defeats Truman

Texas ends all Covid safety restricts,
the virus is defeated by the lone star,
45760 rangers dead,
the state is no longer in emergency.
Study note: Texas is still averaging over 200 Covid fatalities per week.

Green Hate and Man

I will not disparage my fellow man,
I will not denegrate him if I can,
I will not mock him while on lunch,
I will not taunt him on a bus,
I will not laugh at his attire,
I will not shout at him on wire,
I will not teach a new generation to hate,
I will not, must not,
Is it too late?

500,000 Died Because the President Lied

500,000 Americans died,
because the Bully-In-Chief lied,
because he sought Vladimir's pride,
because vanity and ignorance thrive.
In this work the President is Donald Trump. *
President Trump covered up the severity of the Covid-19 outbreak. *
Bob Woodward was told by the President about the severity of Covid-19 but he sat on the information in order to sell more books. *
Presidendt Trump downlplayed the effectiveness of masks to slow the spread. *
President Trump lied about the country's ability to produce and manufacture vaccines. *
President Trump allied himslef with ant-vaxxers and groups that claim the virus is a hoax. *
President Trump stated the virus would just disappear by the summer of 2020. *

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
