My people

Tell me why
We needed twenty men
In full tactical gear
To arrest an abuella?

Why is ICE patrolling Walmart
But steering suspiciously clear
Of known gang territory

The stench of cowardice
And bigotry rises to heaven
As the armed and powerful
Chase veterans
And hide from
Drug dealers on the corner

We didn’t know how good we had it with Stephen Colbert @colbertlateshow.bsky.social

Oh no, wait, we totally did.

We will be followed by the dead
In corrugated trailers
Alligator Alcatraz on a red hat
Cheap souvenirs of inhumanity

We will be followed by the dead
Disease ridden and starved
Empty, hollowed out by our disdain

We are making history
Generations will have to work
To hide from themselves
Again.

Classic American Fascism (part 2))

Our turn!
Well, ours is bigger
A plastic abomination
Led by a dithering conman
Too self important
To know he should hide
Supported by ignorance and disorder
No clockwork
Only broken children
Shattered families
Democracy dead
And they forgot
To have
A reason

Classic American Fascism (part 1 of 2)

Europes was bespoke
Elegant and well planned
Efficient and ruthless
A firebrand madman with unearthly speaking ability
A clockwork spider to spin all his dark dreams into reality
A brutal regime
Designed to last
For a thousand years
Villains for the ages

I think my anxiety increases
In direct proportion
To the many deaths
Of my dreams

If I cannot imagine
A future with kittens
What is there left to do
But worry and scheme?
