Repackaged Packages

For your euphemistic consumption

The US is sending an “aid” package

Just in time for Christmas*

To Ukraine via your tax dollars

Billions, in case you are wondering

In “Aid”, sounds nice and helpful

Until, one realizes that “aid”

Is “Patriot” missiles

Phased Array Tracking Radar

To Intercept On Target

A “backronym” if you will…..

Backronym:

“an acronym deliberately formed from a phrase whose initial letters spell out a particular word or words”

– Oxford online dictionary

Because, nothing stirs

Passions to murder, like patriot

Not sure about anyone else

However, if I were in need of aid

The last thing I would need

Is some genocidal WMD’s

FYI, this country can not afford them

How is it, US is giving death away?

“got no steel industry left, can’t educate our young people, can’t get health care to our old people, but we can bomb the shit out of your country all right!”

– George Carlin

It is the one thing the left and right agree on.

“We like war! We’re a war-like people! We like war because we’re good at it! You know why we’re good at it? We get a lot of practice.”

– George Carlin

What if, as long as packages are repackaged?

US, sent an “Aid” “package, of let’s say

Speculums, forceps and vacuums

Instead of big projectile penises

Would anyone get up in arms

Probably not as long as those abortions

Happen “over there”

“I don’t mind about the war, it’s one of the things I like to watch, if it is a war going on. ‘Cause then I know then if our side is winning, if our side is losing.”


Roger Waters

“What God Wants, part 1”

From “Amused To Death”


* Christmas

A celebration of the birth of Christ

The birth and only the birth

Not the actions or behaviors

To emulate and make peace in the world

Making sure all are fed and healed

Rather a “Black December” event

To unwrap repackaged packages

To send them finally to the landfill

To make room for more

Distraction packages

“Just an observation,
Maybe I need
Different glasses.”

– Angelo Devlin


Merry……….Christmas


A very Merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let’s hope it’s a good one
Without any fear

And so this is Christmas (war is over)
And what have we done (if you want it)
Another year over (war is over)
And a new one just begun (now)
And so happy Christmas (war is over)
We hope you have fun (if you want it)
The near and the dear one (war is over)
The old and the young (now)

A very Merry Christmas
And a happy New Year
Let’s hope it’s a good one
Without any fear

War is over, if you want it
War is over now

Happy Christmas!

– John Lennon
