Notes About The Poem

 

NEEDED POLITICAL LAXATIVES 

 

Not working too well,

The political toilet 

Bowl needs to be flushed:-

It’s so full of stinking stuff

Of stymying bigotry;

It seems like justice 

Has become constipated

Fighting injustice:

Political laxatives,

Needed for the uncloggings:-

It has been said that: "politicians, like diapers, should be changed often...and for the same reason"

Indeed John! It's time for us to navigate the extended family with awareness of why and how to master fecal political changes, how to unclog justice, and flush out diuretic injustice.
