Move on over ole Joe

Move on over ole Joe... and let the youngbloods take the reins infusing our promised land with hope. You done good for America, serving as laudatory President from 2020 to the present Vice President from 2009 to 2017, and in the United States Senate from 1973 until 2009. The nation teeters on the brink of chaos legions of legendary nasty and not so shortish belligerent brutes aping capering, galloping, hollering on their figurative high horses egging, fomenting, instigating, jimmying, kick/jumpstarting, kindling tinder activating spark to explode in a reign of terror decking the hallowed halls with blitzkrieg videre licet philanthropic donations courtesy gazillion billionaires from Wall Street to Silicon Valley trumpeting their Republican choice cymbal eyes zing, drumming, fluting with sax and violins, whether former president number forty five loses or clinches what promises to be a hotly contested election Tuesday, November 5, 2024 marking the end of the world as we know. Though no bleeding heart liberal yours truly vouchsafes being die hard landlubber ardently embracing social progressivism chalked up to a Unitarian upbringing and parents who would not tolerate a conservative proponent of any right wing controversial issues - just kidding, but in retrospect a heavily skewed leftist tack did not disallow opportunities to spar with intelligent repartee particularly with father - Boyce Brandon Harris, a strongly (read dominantly) opinionated Democrat, whose willfully voiced notions set the precedent concerning what side of an issue would be acceptable. He passed away October 7th 2020 and would be appalled at current political events besetting the United States of America and may even possibly take pen to paper to sketch an intelligent blurb, drawing, funny highly jaded literary novelty, applauding your storied achievements. Quite frightening the strong lurch toward autocracy, great probability linkedin to ruthless demagogue, a machiavellian agent provocateur one foo fighting beastie boy barbarian, and totalitarian dead set to eradicate closest approximation of egalitarian and humanitarian realization witnessed with starts and fits of enlightenment and inexcusable decimation, humiliation, liquidation, and pacification of peoples dissimilar to ancestors, who came to Turtle Island (a name for Earth or North America, used by some American Indigenous peoples, as well as by some Indigenous rights activists) from northern Europe, especially England, and who were formerly considered to have a lot of power and influence nevertheless wrought a continent associated with the land of the free, and the home of the brave serving as a beacon for possibility of lofty ideals to attain salutary manifestation within the realm spanning from the mountains to the prairies to the oceans white with foam encompassing diverse topography from sea to shining sea spurred courtesy ignominious manifest destiny nevertheless anchored by Constitution of the United States a cherished living and breathing document. In April 2023, the Heritage Foundation published the 920-page Mandate, written by hundreds of conservatives, most prominently former Trump administration officials. After I read excerpts of Project 2025, courtesy news worthy publications such as Mother Jones, The Nation, The Week, and TIME Magazine my intimation jump/kick started to make a general conclusion that said tome of a door stopper cast dark foreboding shadows hinting the outer limits of many important legislative milestones promulgated for the benefit of society, especially post American Civil War granted then revolutionary smart transformations from isolationist essentially incorporating xenophobia into broad-mindedness suddenly on the figurative chopping if former president Trump garners the majority of votes, whereby he would set in motion looming monstrous nightmare outlined in above titled manifesto would spell gloom and doom not only across the contiguous United States, plus Alaska, but affect western civilization in general resurrecting the ghost of despotism eviscerating the guts of the unique experiment in government courtesy founding fathers (though no doubt significant women played an important role helping to bring into fruition mandates and female dates resulting in our raison d'être to pursue vocations to allow, enable, and provide free market enterprise an economy where the market determines prices, products, and services rather than the government.

Four years in and I can't believe I haven't read you. Apologies. You could be a prominent attorney they way you sling words as if your pen were pointing a finger. You may have put your iambic pentameter foot in your mouth (Yes, I read your poem in which you claimed to have done so) but you certainly can write with a fever that too many let slide without capturing for the masses to read. I will amend my error and read your worthy verses... not only factual, but appropriate for these times.
