News Flash

Kurt turned his white daddy in
  for going to Washington
January 6 at the President's request
  Kurt heeded the call, full of zeal and zest...

Amanda turned her black daddy in too
  A Molotov cocktail he threw
At a white police officer in Portland
  Unarmed and undermanned

Now Kurt's daddy's in jail
  Amanda's is out with no bail
And that is the end of this
  'With Liberty and Justice for All' tale

I love your last two lines. I don't know whether to laugh or cry. These times have been an absolute mess and you portray that well with this little poetic tale.

Time to topple the Statue of Liberty. Or maybe not, as she is irrelevant here in the USA. Better to put a mask over her eyes and mouth, and plugs in her ears. :) gw

Well done Gershon. The law is not applying to all the same whatsoever and it is causing great harm. I hope all is well :)

I hope that it doesn't come to 'Left is (always) right.' The rights of the real minorities, various white ethnics from Eastern Europe, are non-existent these days. ~ All Lives Have Always Mattered, gw

The tail is really the head, and the head is the tail. The world flips like a coin these days. :)

Hi...great verse! The March was formed by a Peaceful Group. President Trump spoke at it. Now anyone who attended it is suspect. However,if you are a member of BLM or Antifa, you can loot, kill., destroy cities??Trump supporters are not violent. CNN is so great at lying. The deserve an EMMY.. Call it a LEMMY....creeps all of them..they won't tell the truth who attacked the Capitol. Biden doing a great job destroying freedom, the economy and orchestrating international abortion funding. Perfect!
