OLD MAN FOX

OLD MAN FOX

Old man FOX in his La-Z-Boy chair
feeding his fuse all day.
Conditioned by hatred and fear,
rotting his brain away. 

A hate harvested fear mongered,
MAGA cult minion,
used, abused, and bamboozled,
and spoon fed his opinion. 

He's hillbilly born, shamed and scorned,
a social ne'er-do-well.
A narcissistic cover charge 
to a special place in hell. 

He never learned the social graces.
Left to fend for himself.
He fought to rise, and tried to hide
his background on a shelf. 

The more he tries the less he'll change,
irrelevant of class.
Packaged and polished bigotry
Twas taught to him en masse.

His southern charm, meant to disarm, 
obsequious and fake.
A since of freedom as pale as his skin
bought by a man on the take.
