Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart Poet Rhyme

Once Upon a Democracy

Once upon a democracy
When freedom was a legacy 
Built upon a foundation 
Of church and state separation 
Before the leader of the free world 
His dictatorship was unfurled 
Remember when your pride 
Knew that God was on your side
And bless your holy patriarch 
Your ever powerful oligarch

David Kavanagh February 12, 2025 at 11:39 AM A throwback to the days when popes ruled the world Mo, and more recently bishops, the good old days are here again, I getcha in a sardonic way lol! Cheers David Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart February 13, 2025 at 7:44 AM Funny enough even the Pope has weighed in, chastising Big Orange for his internment camps. “Never again” turns out makes a great playbook. Canada sighs… ;), xomo

Lin Lane February 12, 2025 at 8:52 AM Once upon a time I was proud to call America my home. Now, it's run by a power-hungry dictator and a narcissistic gnome. Your writes are always to the point and hit the target, Mo. Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart February 13, 2025 at 7:46 AM Thank you Lin. Canada hasn’t been this united in a helluva long time, so that’s something. I fear for us all, especially all those whose lives are being impacted, rights being lost. Canuck hugs! xomo
