If Bernie Wins

(“I was dreamin’ when I wrote this
Forgive me if it goes astray”)

If Bernie wins

The democratic nomination

45 will get reelected

Without help from either

Russia or Ukraine or

A guy on his couch

Or ghina if they’re listening

It will rest on the complacency

Condemnation turned courting

Then capitulation of corruption

By the reticent Republicans

Pleading for petulant power

.
The drumbeat build up has begun

For the next two minutes hate chant

Screaming the “evils” of socialism

Instead of for the walls of seperation

Besides

Trading Republican socialism

For Democratic socialism

Is still socialism except that

Republican socialism aka

The military industrial complex

Corporate welfare and

Privatized prison farms

So ingrained in the culture

Will also remain funded

Turning a debtor nation

Financially and morally

Into a bankrupt one

Not to mention

The women who would vote for 45

Must be so self loathing to their sisterhood

As to sacrifice their collective body

To the malignant mandate of men

Just a few more unbalanced

“Supreme” court nominees to go

In my perception any self respecting bipedal earthling artist wth a vagina and functioning reproductive organs might as well buy a one way ticket to Canada now to escape the upcoming Gilead.

.
That or find a really nice stable kept warm by the burning of the constitution and the fading embers of Roe v. Wade to be legislated into brood mares for the state.

It doesn’t matter if any one votes

Remember:

“If voting made any difference they wouldn’t let us do it.”

― Mark Twain

.
Therefore the outcome is predicated

On the collective constitution of the

Combined individual’s heart & being

Obviously it is what got us here now

All the paper ballots with hanging chads

Secure hackproof voting machines

To allow “free and fair elections”

Add up to zip zilch nada nothing if

Everyone is experiencing fear of

Their fellow space travelers as directed

Sacrificing their own powers to

A projection of an individual

Whom they think will “lead” them

“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?”
