Notes About The Poem

Sadly, some pardoned insurrectionists came by and confiscated my pen and ink. I was able to sneak away and get a few minutes at a terminal, but you might not hear from me ever again.

Igor needs a bigger lab X

Some men came and rang my doorbell
They barked To your pen say farewell!
Since you dared insult
Our Trump lover's cult
It gets ten to life in a cell

Thanks Jan...we need to keep our sense of humor despite all of the transitions to fascist living. It's all happening quite fast. Take care and be very careful about opening the door!! Smiles!!

Keep our pens? that is the question, I fear for journalists who roam the world to keep us informed and especially our news anchors I adore. I've pulled my punches on many occasions, and i'll let other poets take the reins penning on his cult of curmudgeon personality & his mad house. Follow MO she's keenly aware of topical events. Okay, maybe I'll do one more Limerick , they make D.T. piñata's! Lol

I was watching the video of the Tufts University student arrested by plain-clothed ICE agents wearing masks. She is not a citizen, but must have offended Mr. Rubio who has the power (to be challenged in court) to revoke green cards or visas. My wife also saw it and commented..."Are we in Russia?" It's all rather chilling and needs to be resisted as best we can. We're in some hot water. Hope you are well!!!

Anaya, you're too funny! You have always behaved very well indeed from what I have seen. Just the right amount of spice in response to some "funny" comments. And yes, many journalists have been arrested, tortured, or killed in a variety of unpleasant places with autocratic governments. Let's hope that doesn't happen here. Smiles!!

- There is a great need for more prisons ... he talks about a new golden age, a revolution of reason ... o.m.g. ... fears for the continuation, Duke - hugs

Anne-Lise, We do need more prisons for our leaders!! They are the ones who need confinement. It does look pretty bad, but we have hope more and more people will realize what these people are really like and the harm they will do as long as given the chance.

Well said Duke, with all the flaws of the last administration, they never came close to stripping freedoms as this one is.

Arthur...I looked it up as suggested: "the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group." Sounds like it fits pretty well. There is a lot of pro Israel money from large donors in play here and unfortunately this means it's hard for politicians to stand up for Palestinian rights. People don't seem to know that Netanyahu had been bank rolling Hamas in order to keep the Palestinians divided. Our current administration will definitely be even worse since it values money and power more than all else.

Under the last administration this was the reality for pro-lifers and school mums questioning what their kids were being made to read and taught in class. I think someone needs a bigger brain.

I’m more militia than military on the front lines leading the resistance for the last four years fighting the good fight. School mums and pro-lifers were being targeted and threatened by Biden’s DOJ. They weren’t facing deportation cos they aren’t illegal criminals committing any crimes. You speak of the rule of law but illegal gangsters have no fondness for the law unless they can use it to game the system.

Keith, thanks for reading and making a joke about my head. You can be funny! Were the pro-lifers and school mums facing deportation without a day in court? I remember seeing a peaceful anti abortion demonstration when I was in Oklahoma, and I spoke to the demonstrators to understand why they were there....there was a clinic right across the street. I didn't detect they were worried about being rounded up. They also had the sense not to interfere with the lawful operation of the clinic. My understanding is that you have honor as you are former military. My hope is that you still stand for the rule of law. I'm a bit worried that something has tainted your view of our society and wish you would share what that is. It would help me understand where you are coming from. I sincerely would like to know and hope you're not having an issue with women and minorities in positions of authority. I'm sure you've done a lot of great things in your life and hope no one has denigrated that service.

Hey Art, so enjoy your Jew rants. Speaking of Jews, if you’re still unclear what a genocide is you might wanna ask one.

Sadly, this is reality for Jehovah's witnesses in Russia. Try googling and read the horrors

Tom, thanks for pointing that out. It's true for many all over the world where repression of free expression exists. Unfortunately, that repression seems to be gaining favor in the USA. Something that we should resist. Wait...do I hear someone knocking at my front door? BTW, DT's supporters are sending pizzas to the judges who rule against him to let them know they know where they live. I joke about knocking, but this is quite serious.

Duke, your political renderings are always perfectly matched to your Limericks. Your lines don’t hold back your thoughts on the seriousness of the issues… and thank goodness for that since we still have free speech.

Thanks Lin, I just updated this....I was able to get to a terminal by bribing one of the guards. This place will make survival very difficult.
