Free Market Freedom
In the free land and home of bravery
they voted against both at every chance
as they demonstrated knavery
at each legislative circumstance
to block all working class opportunity
since they only want commoners to work;
as evident by importunity
and their condescension truly berserk.
If only proles read between the lines
to tease all the gas out of their gaslights
and by that see where intention consigns
only to the gentry...OUR civil rights...

Obligations
When you don't know what's objectively good
it means that you are as dumb as a post
or that your thinking is probably toast
and of no value to your neighborhood.
Fact and fiction are two different things
and it's your responsibility to know
about what makes a nation ebb and flow
without a directive from shitty kings
or leadership with its head up its ass
in a state of permanent vanity
yoked to an Adderall insanity
for more behavior especially crass.
But let me guess; you think that makes him strong,
when...

Starlink Serfage
We can constellate the founding fathers
much like the Greeks did with their dying gods
and pulverize their Mount Rushmore facades
into some rubble that no more bothers
the vespering spirits of yesteryear...
now replaced by apocalypse horsemen
grinding axes like a million Norsemen
extoling a scornful billionaire's sneer.
Sing no more of those noble intentions
that now are just as Polybius...dead...
and as badly drained as Cicero's head,
or Edison's corpse of new inventions
when monopolies know and...

Remember, Remember
Bonfire Night is an ironic thing
at 400 years after the event
where a Gunpowder Plot had killed no king
and sabotage became Guido's lament
as the people had made it very clear
that a disruption to the status quo
based on violence and subsequent fear
wasn't the most discerning way to go
to carry heretofore the common law;
be the ancient regimes hip, hip, hooray,
or establishments of indolent blah
countermanding even a sunny day...
since rare indeed is the revolution
that fairly treats the wealth distribution!

Unholy Seed
They're doing tricks on the blind
And busy bee got control
The other brick in the wall
Another day on the job
And that's the way things work
Digging, shoving, to fuel the machinery
Watch the pistons pump
That's the drive that keeps the heart alive
And all that you desire
Making you the perfect liar
And someone's casting pearls before the swine
On the road to hell
Illuminati
N.W.O. in control
While fingers worked to the bone
Illuminati, unholy seed
In 1776 the birth of greed

Bending the barrel
I rest my face in my hands
as endless airstrikes,
bombs, and missiles tear
into the ordinary lives
of Palestine,
knowing this country
was the second biggest
arms dealer since
2010 to 2019
most sales going
to the middle east
who are often the
largest buyers,
I won't sit here
like a hypocrite
knowing this
little island
this government
has caused
catastrophe
affecting the
lives of so many
families, and
children,
...

The Crushed-Velvet Faux-Leather Bourgeois Baby
The Crushed-Velvet Faux-Leather Bourgeois Baby
And we found each other on the streets of Prague in the midst of a spring that rivaled that of ancient Ireland. Yet it was not a season such as Beltane but rather freedom from the polished boots of the Red Star. But when the Soviet tanks rolled in liberty was the rose that found refuge in our boudoir where hearts still blossomed while youth festooned rifle barrels with the flower of peace.

Wishes
We, I IS ME would like to say election season greeting to any and all participants here on DUP
To all of those that have based your political decisions on any type of prejudice we truly pray that you receive all that you vote for.
The thing about hate is it can often return and slap you in the face, think Roe V Wade
Hate is the gift that keeps on giving
Now this is about supporting one party or the other we believe you're screwed regardless but who's going to screw you the least.
Men wanting control and rights back over women
Some people wanting control...

A Reality Check
The election of President Harris for POC will not a panacea
she won't come in six guns blazing silver bullets to free ya
Yes there will be a new Female Sheriff in town
but the KKK and Neo Nazis will still be around
The US System will still be broken
even when have our latest Black token
The evils of sexism, racist, misogyny, transphobia and xenophobia will still exist
and slap us in the face every morning with a clenched fist
In the end
for my people more "symbolism over substance" once again

Surrender Monkeys
Just give the Russians what they want
the MAGA pinheads say
as they view Europe's eastern front
in violent decay.
No doubt space lasers are involved
and control the weather
whenever hot air has revolved
when they get together.
It's a fascist on fascist fight
so Imperialist
somehow giving Putin the right
to raise the winning fist.
Except that every cooler head
amid all the alarm
will be the ones who stop the spread
of Europe from more harm.
They fret too much about the nukes ...

Representation
The manacles of yesteryear and 2025
is MAGA repackaged monarchy with their racist jive.
Their leader can't control himself or value sacrifice
like some drug lord we saw once portrayed on Miami Vice.
In him his faithful recognize their self-same slutty traits
for reality denial where misery awaits.
A lack of introspection well marks this MAGA crowd
who rely on chintzy commerce and being way too proud.
They say they love America but won't make their own hats
which is as crazy as the shit from batshit crazy...

Promoting General Welfare
Knowing nothing of axiomatic things
Trads claim liberals are always at fault
while slavishly revering mad kings
and their authoritarian gestalt,
so much so they think they own liberty
and the bluest skies where her nature thrives
from sea to crude oil polluted sea
tainting all but aristocratic lives
as they crush that old American dream
where the effort of the poorest old slob
to live out their years as those dreams may deem
without being dependent on a job
that never had respect for any dreams...
that didn't exploit...
