Mango Mussolini

Watching the news with a
Certain sense of urgency
All this misinformation 
And repetitive monotony
Are they just the 
Manifestations 
Of your depravity
As your social life 
Drifts on past
It’s firewood
Do you really believe you’re 
Just misunderstood ?
It’s a pretty odd situation 
You’ve gotten yourself into
Did you think we wouldn’t see through ?
See through
See through it
Your complacency?
You cover your face 
Cover your face 
Cover your face
Your face
It’s a courtesy 
Your mask has become your new reality
The mask of common sense
You swore to provide for the common defense
The mask 
The mask 
The mask of pretense
It’s a pretense
Your only pretending
Pre tend ing
Pre tend ing
Pre tend ing to care.
When will you be aware
Of your misogyny ?
Must be part 
Of your heredity
Heredity
How will you secure the blessings of
Liberty  ?
For yourself and your posterity
Will you change your mind 
Will you be willing to find
That perfect balance of 
Protection and Projection
Projectionist
Welcome to the world of self doubt 
And mental agony
Is this self destruction ?
Or just hallucination ?
Whose gonna provide the remedy ?
Remedy
Remedy 
The Rem Ed y 

The Mango Mussolini
Left the rest of us 
To find 
Need to find 
Need to find
Some 
Pos I tive 
Energy energy.

Wow, thank you! I imagine anyone "professional" would be a treat. Meanwhile up here, we have a minority government that is working astonishingly well. Unpresidented. Usually they are the "ok when's the election being called" government.

Don’t want to give anyone a false impression. I am a Democrat, but I am tired of the divisiveness ! I think we will all be happier with a more professional administration whether it be Democrat OR Republican.

Thank you Maureen ! I try not to be offensive to my brother and sister Republicans, but such a repugnant nature can not be overlooked . I must say I am so very impressed with your poetry. YOU are a fabulous writer.
