And What of Old Joe Biden

And what of old Joe Biden And all the lies he’s hid’en For it don’t matter much With which side you are sid’en They all seem out of touch With the county they’re divid’en. For the eagle needs both wings The right and left both “feathered” To face the honest facts Of what the county’s weathered While clinging to beliefs To which their minds are tethered. All the voices and their rants Irreligious solemn chants Bagels defending scones Armies marching on i-phones As they order Uber-eats And never leave their seats. Beware the idle surge Of the cardboard bearing purge Lest you suddenly fall prey Think a thought you shouldn’t say As you pass a shuttered church Where you dare not go to pray. What has this to do with Biden Battling windmills with his pen And the myriad of “writers” Who make his windmills spin Twirling in the distance With no why, or where, or when. John G.

Amen, John! The Don-Quixote-ish nature of battling the Heavens with a pen is too absurd to contemplate. Kind of like two ants mounting all-out war against Mt. Everest. ~ Sancho Panza and the Maharishi
