Obedient Sheep

Donkey’s ogling artful masks
like drunks ogling addictive flasks – 
You sure look fancy—Nancy! 

Be submissive! Behaving neurotic
is now patriotic – loonies in charge 
of the asylum; 

           Be safe! Give them your first 
born...and second – they have an appetite 
for helpless babies, and religions that 
object – 

           teachers becoming malevolent
preachers, mouthing the party line – 

they look to godless heavens for the 
accepted sign your beloved offspring
are bullied into carrying – 

Keep your eyes to their worshiped
skies – stars of tyranny and leprosy….

Panagiota Romios Date: 8/23/2020 8:22:00 AM An instant FAV. So much said with such Power and honesty. This is a mind lower, Joe. Thanks, Pangiexx Login to Reply Joe Dimino Date: 8/23/2020 3:06:00 PM Hi Pangie; thank you. I really don't like coming down on people and their beliefs -- but what is going on in our country, the violence and downright dishonesty that is causing so much heartache, death, poverty needs to be addressed by every citizen. This is not: "we are all Americans but have different ways of going about things, yet we all want to do good" -- these people seem overtly possessed by Evil. The Democrat party have collectively lost their minds and souls.

Thanks, Joe Login to Reply Joe Dimino Date: 8/23/2020 3:13:00 PM Thank you, Gershon; I can't see any representative good in these people causing violence -- and I use the word people (human) very loosely. Blessings my friend!
