Why Not, He Says
With tongue-in-cheek
Bring a flashlight. This gets dark.
Yet, it is merely a contemplation
Of our unconscious current chaos
Which is nihilistic for sure
However, the collective
Is behaving like it has
Something important to
Cling to besides experience
Or take such a radical right turn
It topples over on itself
“You need a little danger in your life. Take a f*cking chance once in a while, will you? What are you gonna do? Play with your prick for another 30 years? What, are you gonna read People’s Magazine and eat at Wendy’s till the end of time? Take a f*cking chance!”
– George Carlin
Why not live under an authoritarian societal system
Since it is already encroaching, a Gileadian theocratic rule
That the gun lobby has made it essentially legal to kill
All fetuses outside of the womb but not vice-versa
With nearly twice the mass shootings as days in the year
As “Commanders” are just waiting in the wings to plant seeds
“Conservatives want live babies so they can raise them to be dead soldiers.” – George Carlin
Plus, they need more consumers to buy more shit they don’t need
Along with replacing immobile targets now six feet under ground
To keep the fetal to fatality to frailty machine running on blood
“Pro-life… pro-life… These people aren’t pro-life // You know what they are?
They’re anti-woman. Simple as it gets, anti-woman. They don’t like them. They don’t like women.They believe a woman’s primary role is to function as a brood mare for the state.”
– George Carlin
Apparently, logic and reason may not
Prevent the next election from being the last
Though it has been tried before in Germany
To disastrous human death and atrocities
Without clear justification
The liberal alleged democratic left
Keeps beating the drum that
Democracy must be preserved
Like, it is running so well, and
All are housed, fed, educated
Autonomous, healthy, and happy
Sharing resources and mass transit
Debt free, philanthropic and kind
Ooopsie
While cranium crippled conservatives
Keep trying to march to their
Wannabee tyrannical dictator
Promising everything will be
All right when it’s all white
(Guess what, it won’t be)
The easily distracted will lose their shit
Over the tiniest of dopey details
Beyond not believing in the same God
“I’m not attached to your world
Nothing heals. Nothing grows
‘Cause it’s a great big white world
And we are drained of our colors
We used to love ourselves
We used to love one another. “
– Marilyn Manson
But what are they going to do
When 45 legally gets rid of
The people he truly hates
His rabid neo-republican base
A Trojan horse administration
Dismantling a vague alleged
Constitutional republic where
Justice is supposedly blind
With purported plans to attack
Enemies of the state or at least
The enemies 45 wants to eliminate
To surprise his “base” followers
Who finally figured out the bigly
Tax cuts went to the wealthiest
That they are the ones heading to
The gulag & concentration camps
Before being gassed in death chambers
(Just think….in the future, there will be MAGAcaust deniers)
Simply because he does not
Want their kind on his golf courses
Chasing him down for his deceptions
Though most will still fawn over him
Relentlessly and speak his name
All because he wants the admiration
Of rich, powerful celebrity type people
As a form of narcissistic approval
Can you say “daddy” issues?
Will all the hillbillies and rednecks
Racists, misogynists, xenophobes
Transphobes, homophobes
Basicall, people living in fear….
Catch wind of Martin Neimelor quote
“First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.”
– Martin Niemöller
Or rather
First, they came for the (Immigrants) and I did not speak out—
Because I was not an (Immigrant)
Then they came for the (minorities) and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a (minority).
Then they came for the (uneducated) and I did not speak out—
Because I was not (uneducated).
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.”
(The white/pink nationalist, faux follower, perpetual victim, everybody’s responsible for my life’s happiness, except for myself.)
With apologies to….

Oopsie
Too many are yammering in fear
That their wacky status quo will change
Or their desire to be led by the incompetent
Under abhorrent scams, fraud, and deception
Tax cheating, classified documents “misuse”
Though neither are beneficial to anyone
Save idiotic indoctrinations of behavior
Steeped deep in the supposed rule of law
That under a “blind” justice system
“Sees” everyone equally as individuals
Which even with a cursory glance
Is provably untrue, given privilege and power
Get an unmitigated systematic free pass
Due to the unconscious admiration of wealth
Wishing and hoping for similar autonomy
Why not keep feeding the Billionaire’s class
So the other 99 percent get their leftovers
“Their ego empire
The ethnic rich
Their cruelty of class
Imitation opulence
Crumbs to look like
Cake to the masses
Cake to the masses. “
– John Trudell
Or how about we scrap the whole thing and start over with
A balance of meritocracy, technocracy, and human decency
All over the single planet spaceship we are riding on????
“I write to expunge the darkness so
That someday light may shine through”
