Karen Jones Poet Rhyme

Political Peacock

Flattery will get you everywhere
You can buy justice it’s for sale
DEI now has a red cap for flair 
No need for degree from Yale

You can try to erase history 
demanding a page preserved
Replacing fact science lobotomy
White washing learning disturbed

Changing the rules being cruel 
New way of pushing agenda
Defunding schools hiring fools
Send troops if they won’t surrender 

To the dumbing down around
In every leadership role 
Ignorance preferred proud peacock now
Selling your soul for gold

No one is above God’s law
Our money is not enough 
Censorship blocks our talk
Here free speech once was

Every Empire not of the Lord
Falls at a loss history ignored

John Loving Iii October 8, 2025 at 5:16 PM 666 God put the mark of the Beast on our head with a reprobate mind. Their minds tell the lies they really do believe. And with their hands they sign bills that destroy the poor. It's not just one, It's all of them. Karen Jones October 8, 2025 at 5:48 PM It’s sad isn’t it?

Christopher Delegans October 6, 2025 at 9:04 PM We are in some crazy times and people forget how your last two lines ring so true.

Randy Freie October 5, 2025 at 2:49 PM Exactly Karen, 250 years of Democracy and it's right back to the madness of the want to be King George! How soon we forget. Hey America, put your phones down and pick up a history book before they redact it, along with the Constitution. Refresh yourselves on how we got here! Go forwards, not backwards! Karen Jones October 5, 2025 at 4:53 PM Agree with you Randy! Thanks for reading!
