L Milton Hankins Poet Rhyme

Folly of the Miscreants

What is all this wild, crazy talk of Civil War
From enraged right-wing extremist groups?
Is rabble-rousing all they are living for,
A mad cadre of gun-toting nincompoops?
Who revere a narcissistic con man as a god
Cloaking themselves in conspiracist theory,
Clearly not discerning truth from a fraud.

Far-sighted Americans are growing weary
Of those who would tear down our nation
For the sake of a misguided egotistical man, 
An ignorant fool risen far above his station
A desire to be a dictator, a diabolical plan,
Time will prove the folly of these miscreants
Our nation is stronger than they suspect.
We patriotic Americans give no credence
Flag, Anthem, and Constitution we respect.

I believe Fox News station is full of subliminal clips that have brain-washed the birdbrains who are watching that stupid non-news channel of idiocy.

Rico Leffanta August 15, 2022 at 11:40 AM One hopes our nation is strong, but I doubt it, as mindless cults have always proliferated in the USA, and there seems to be no stopping them! Aloha! L Milton Hankins August 15, 2022 at 12:09 PM All I can say is, if I were these fringe groups (even if they grow to a few thousand) I wouldn't tangle with the U. S. military. Let me see, I seem to recall at least one fringe group that did and that one ended in a tragedy for them.
