Republican 'sandburs'

Republican 'Sandburs!' Republican sandburs are such an annoyance, This kind of a weed seems to love to hitch ride, They scoff at man's brotherhood, scorn to share taxes Humanity sometimes, well, feels set aside. Of course, there are weeds among Democrats also Whose sins are more social but flow more with tide. Republican sinners though are just such beginners, Like teens who feel randy, without any pride. 'Right' wants what they want, let the devil take hindmost, When wealthy folks write the laws, guess who gets screwed? "I've got mine! You get yours! Of course, rich are privileged!" Your new job's low pay? So ungrateful and rude! For children of rich folk, their birth makes them better, Advantage though blinds them, and logic is crude, Folk's wealth opens doors and encourages loathing Of self, as entitled kids exploit subdued! Is voter suppression a difficult concept? Does unequal pay prove a man's work's worth more? Division of labor improve a home's value? Does sharing of power mean life's more a chore? Does taking advantage of folks make you happy? Your friend disrespected, does he then explore? Does God hate the peacemaker? Just loves a winner? Does He praise barns raised or amenable door? I’m sure that the Dems do blow trunks of mouse haters, The swell who make Demons of Jews and most Blacks, Who know most their wives are much smarter than they are, There’s no way in Hell these fools ever relax! Their “Lock them up! Lock them up!” screams they’re just lemmings. “Just die!” 'Right' translated, the point of attacks! Sharia Law model for “God knows I’m Right!” folks, Sure compromise Kool-Aid kills more than “Fake Facts!” Long Tooth Oct 17, 2018 Poet's Notes: To my many Republican friends who I know this poem will annoy, can you not extend at least the Grace that this poem offers you to your more liberal "brothers in Christ?" We all know we sin all the time, in spite of our desire to follow Christ. Consider the pain you inflict on the planet when you are not open to other's viewpoints and their right to have them. Surely being "Dead Right" leaves something to be desired.

I am not annoyed by your poem just saddened and bewildered. It makes me think and I can assure you if you did ask your Republican friends they would tell you they feel exactly the same way you do, but about Democrats. I think we are all being brainwashed by our political parties. "Lock her up" is not as bad as someone carrying a sign that reads "Rape Melania" but it is bad enough.

And I accept that friendship and offer you mine in return. Sorry for the late reply, I must have missed this one.

Well, Chris, no poet can guarantee their feelings for life, this is one liberal on social issues, conservative on fiscal issues, that I swear loves what you have to say here! God bless our fractured Nation and the leaders who do not reject or demonize their legitimate and equally patriotic opposition! I swear I hate no man, only the evil we all leave behind us! But no matter what the future holds, I pledge you my friendship!

To be perfectly honest with you, I fear even what I commented here. I know I will lose some of my readers because Dems are taught to hate Reps. I read tons of poems on here against Trump...I still read that person afterward. But, I know most of this site will probably turn on me because of these comments. If I had any brains I would delete them all. If I had my way, on this site there would be no Dems or Reps...just poets. : ) Peace my friend.

I can see the difference and you are right. But there are many similar things on both sides...the woman's march with their pink pussyhats was all liberals. They want us to think it was female inspired but it really wasn't. Maxine Waters screaming into a mike to harass reps wherever you see them. That is a Dem inciting a attacks causing groups to confront Reps in restaurants and airports, etc. Hey, I know Reps are as bad as Dems. Most of us only see what we want to see but they are both bad (in my opinion). The point I take the most exception to in your notes was that you feel as a Dem you can't say how you feel for fear of reprisal. I feel exactly the same way.

I understand that extremists on both sides are disgusting Chris, but the "Rape Melania" is one angry person while "Lock Her Up" is a lynch mob of Republican extremists and includes the consent of current Republican leaders and hundreds of thousands of your party. Can you not see the difference? Really?
