Notes About The Poem

Buzzards On the Infamous Hill

Buzzards on the Infamous Hill

Always sitting at the edge of my seat,
When, oh when, shall truth finally come out…
As a true,American splendiferous treat!

But buzzards of cravish deception,
Fill the political, pockmarked skies.
Leaving us forever, with questions.

These carnivores reside on The Hill.
Where truth and goodness perish.
Americans left with lies, hope is killed.

Ethics lay as pricey,broken sunglasses.
Crushed beneath deceptive, well heeled feet.
“No news, just pure propaganda for the masses?”

Now, an amoral ,upside down, nation,
Where cheating and lies are given full reign.
And all good folk, dubbed as “abominations?”

Indeed, tis the poison Swamp’s entire purpose.
To establish a frightening totalitarian future.
Where depravity is honored, in their very sinews.

You are not paying attention, remember Congress falling all over the President of Israel? Them the other day, the Oh so liberal Democrats were so busy destroying the legacy of the Dead Kennedys, by calling RFK,…JR.a drug addict! He can barely speak and is on steroids to make speech easier. The proof of Hunters enormous tax fraud, which was bypassed…is of no concern to them. Every US citizen pays taxes. The tax laws do not apply to the Bidens!The Swamp is worse than ever.oy,,,, Pangie

Aha, an accurate tale of the buzzards on the hill. Waiting, circling for the stink that they created in the first place; a one stop shop! The splendiferous treat is such a great line: some look for the truth, but I think most just want to know some gossip.

Remember the monster ,Hitler, who blamed the Jews for startling the war and the Russians for not being able to end it? That’s what I hear from the Oval Office, and the same offal from CNN, MSNBC land all lococal channels. Plus the outright hate speech against anyone who is White….does he have a scorched earth policy? To wreck the USA and blame in on you know who? We are not a country anymore. A country has borders. The current national debt is 174trillion. Our kids and grandkids will pay for it, thewinner was to build a train from New York to Indonesia.I hope we all know there is a two tiered system of Justice.David, I say this because most Americans do not know this or do not care. I care about the USA,the vast indifference to losing all our freedom is appalling. It started with COViID. We better vote with our kids in mind, forget party affiliation. What say you? Pangie

My soul is crushed by all the abominations in progress. They multiply by the day.When good people say NOTHING, or are censured, ignored, or jailed, it is the beginning of the end of any country! Panagiot
