from silence we rose

they say there will be a golden age
when the lion lays down with the lamb
& i say there will be a golden age
when the lamb goes for the lion’s jugular

we cannot sup safely with the fascists
without them exacting their pound of flesh
there’s no more time for demure silence
when they’re raising goblets full of our own blood

when free thinkers are chained to dogma
& women are made the property of man
they’ll poke their noses into every bedroom
declare that our love violates god’s will

we cannot lay down & be fucked like this
we lambs must sharpen our teeth for the fight
stub their gaping throats with righteous ire
with the shepherd’s crook we took back from fools

  2. I could waste your time and my ink

    On telling how deep I felt my heart sink,

    Of the sphincter clench, the scrotal shrink,

    Feeling, knowing it’s game over.

    But I’ll settle for continuing to drink-

    Till I see that red elephant fade to pink

    I’ll swallow and wallow- but I dread to think

    How I’ll deal with a four year hangover.

    (I know, grim gallows humour at best, sorry.)

  3. The mainstream legacy media lies. A vulgar speaking style does not determine what policies a leader will institute. Just because the media and academic elites keep making up lies doesn’t make it true. Trump is not a dictator or the Devil. With oil and natural gas drilling, inflation will come down, and the economy will boom. The left-wing Marxist/Socialists/Communist democrats have destroyed the country. Communism has been tried and failed: that’s where brutal dictatorships are born. The Democrats have been the tyrants who would only get worse if left in power. CNN, MSNBC, CBS, NBC, New York Times, are there propaganda machines. The majority of Americans elected Trump because of his policies, not because they like his vulgar way of speaking. Many of the Democrats who speak well like academics are evil Marxist “scholars” who wouldn’t mind having Communism if they were in charge. They are the ones who want to dictate with regulations and worse. They destroy small businesses with regulations. They are against free speech. Biden and Harris were puppets of the deep state bureaucracy. One was in cognitive decline and the other is a scatterbrain.

    so, in short, don’t worry

  6. And now, the, American public will, get a taste of their own, bitter medicines, and, it will be, too late when they realized, they’d elected a dictator into, the White House, and the branches of government becomes, nothing more than, hired guns of the fascist, Trump.
