An Inconvenient Truth About American Democracy Limerick

I have written about this before, and I will keep writing about it because it is a plague on this country that is never going to go away. Quite the opposite. It will only get worse because the people who can end it have a vested self interest in perpetuating it.

Changing The Rules Of The Game,

Perils of Pretense

A QANON Is A Clear And Present Danger Limerick

QANON spreading lies and fear,
A clear and present danger to our great nation.
What caused this ugly head to rear
With its unrighteous indignation?

A Couple of Citizens United Revisited Limericks

Political Lobbies and Lobbyists weren’t enough for an economy built on corporate profits. With greed as the fundamental ideology of the American economic system, Corporate America raised the stakes in the game with Citizens United. However, Citizens United, in their smug arrogance, intoxicated on their “money power”, seems to have forgotten that two can play the game, and that there are super rich in America on both sides and super rich that bribe both sides.

Seeing the evil
We do to each other,

Dogs

The neighborhood is lined with houses
Whose yards are filled with mongrel hordes,
Kept safe behind white picket fences,
Unaware of the world beyond the wooden boards.

Peaceful nights are wrenched away
From hardworking neighbors needing sleep
When the howling hounds come out to play
And bark their prejudice across the street
To other hounds behind picket fences,
Also unable to see beyond their defenses.

Night after night the uncouth mutts stay woke,
Yipping and yapping their ode to democracy.
Until yapping becomes yipping in a cloud of smoke
And they are lost in a haze of their hypocrisy.

All while the suffering, sleepless majority
Are kept awake by the woke minority.
They wonder if the PACs of dogs on either side
Will ever look inward and get wise
To the folly of their two-tone protest
Across the streets of the midwest,
Against enemies decried as ignorant
Who–in fact–are not so different.

Your Shadows

do you really think
I will choose
to walk in your shadows?

How?

How can you give up on the only self..
that never gave up on you?

How can you put a full stop to a story..
that involves other people too?
