Manipulated obediency
From all sides through
Manufactured consent
Utilizing divisiveness
That at any given point
One side ranks superior
To an opposing side as a
Means of controlling all
In a mindless tit-for-tat
Regarding the following
“Your” “Team”, “Your” “City” etc..
The “Brand” you “prefer” sometimes
Based on nothing except a
Jingle, slogan or logo
Droned on and drummed into
Your subconscious as programed
Through audio and visual repetition
Malware infecting gray matter
Race, religion, ethnicity
Gender, sexuality, orientation
Independent, democrat, republican
“Red” state “Blue” state, even “Purple”
Wealth, poverty, social status
None which exist
At anyone’s core
Just you being
A being
A spirit
A consciousness
A ghost
In the machine
A pilot within
The * microscopic dot
Navigating the world
Filtered through
Layers of masks
Either imprisoned by self
By obediently following
Their “rules” “they” change or
Self imposed castle walls
Or a state run cell block
You are your own warden
Who has the skeleton key
To open the cage
Set yourself free from
Obedience

It is all for what?

If you can willfully choose to “tone it up” when you can knowingly “tone down” your rhetoric and choose inciting the degradation of civility.
You are not a leader. You are a narcissistic nincompoop that is so self serving it is incomprehensible you still have a job.
Perhaps it is just a matter of him wanting to be a glaringly obvious grandiose narcissistic archetypal example of the “Peter Principal”.
“The Peter principle states that a person who is competent at their job will earn promotion to a more senior position which requires different skills. If the promoted person lacks the skills required for their new role, then they will be incompetent at their new level, and so they will not be promoted again.
But if they are competent at their new role, then they will be promoted again, and they will continue to be promoted until they eventually reach a level at which they are incompetent.
Being incompetent, they do not qualify to be promoted again, and so remain stuck at that final level for the rest of their career (termed “Final Placement” or “Peter’s Plateau”).”
– Wikipedia
Since it never seemed like he really wanted to be president, simply rose to a level of incompetence and stayed there.
Apparently the Republican star#uckers are turning away both blind eyes to all his bad behaviors. Riding some, practically demonic coattails for some reason they can’t let go. Regardless how hot it gets.
Likewise his base, still defending the indefensible. What is indefensible? If you would not behave exactly the same way in similar circumstances doing what he does, would be impossible to defend.

Of a representative democracy
No one represents me, boo hoo
Not even close, I want meritocracy
No vote required including you too
Each person doing what they enjoy
What else would you rather want
As if doing it for free without employ
There’s absolutely no reason we can’t
Beware the phrase *”we the people” please
For it does not include you you you or I
Consider who gets away with legalese
Pay attention to the lawmakers, it’s a lie

“In Order to form a more perfect Union”
For whom? It certainly is not the people.
It is for those who write it down or choose to erase it.
Free health care, lifelong pensions, etc.
Insure domestic Tranquility.
How are they going to do that, more stormtroopers? How about the guy walking down the street or driving his car is disproportionately assaulted or killed for BWBB: being, while being black.
Where is his Tranquility?
Provide for the common defence.
That’s quite the ruse, for invading sovereign nations and stealing their shit.
Promote the general Welfare
Definition interlude.
Welfare : the state of being happy, healthy, or successful.

Seems more like discontent is promoted.
“Cause that’s all you ever hear about in this country. It’s our differences. That’s all the media and the politicians are ever talking about–the things that separate us, things that make us different from one another.
That’s the way the ruling class operates in any society. They try to divide the rest of the people. They keep the lower and the middle classes fighting with each other so that they, the rich, can run off with all the fucking money!”
Fairly simple thing. Happens to work. You know? Anything different–that’s what they’re gonna talk about–race, religion, ethnic and national background, jobs, income, education, social status, sexuality, anything they can do to keep us fighting with each other, so that they can keep going to the bank!”
– George Carlin

Secure the Blessings of Liberty to “ourselves” and “our” Posterity.
There it is in black, against a white background.
“Establish this Constitution for the United States of America.”
Section 8
1: The Congress shall have Power
(Out of context, but you get the idea)

“Democracy is the worst kind, I am sorry, but it is. We get to pick our leaders..well…
What if I don’t want a leader? Where does that vote go? I do good on my own, I don’t want to be “led”. Is that freedom?”
“American Idol (Idle) was the number one show on television // those are the people picking your leaders with less insight then they put in to whether or not Rubin Stoddard should win an award. It’s dumb”

Common interest. Hmmm, having a good time traveling on the spherical spaceship we are all on.
When you have nasty narcissism nestled above your neck, vile bile spewing from your hate generating ornery orifice, malevolent disregard for fellow space travelers, corruption, deception, and greed bleeding from every pore.
Regardless, how well you try and shower it off, orange is the best you will get.
Life’s temporary
An assignment for yourself
Assigned by yourself
To burn hot through your karma
Till nothing’s left but spirit
Culled from
Life’s just a temporary assignment
Assigned to yourself by yourself
To burn hot through your karma
Thumb to screen or knife to jugular
Fingers to keyboard or rope to neck
Pen to paper or exhaust to lungs
Thoughts to words or bullet to brain
Guess will keep picking the formers
Having done so far, in the reverse order
Or
Thumb to cellular or knife to jugular
Fingers to keyed deck or rope to neck
Pen to paper or exhaust inhaled vapor
Thoughts to words or bullet to cranial shards
Though the second one had rhymes, it didn’t seem to flow like the first one, so I’d pick the top one. For what I do not know, they both just blurted out of my fingers.
