note to ornithologist: I know eagles don't have teeth

Note to the many enemies of democracy:
No need to force upon us uranium enemas 
just billow a tiny bug into the neon lungs
of our bumbling- deeply divided cities..
Sit back and have a few Molotov cocktail giggles 
and some giant panda bear laughs,
as we brawl over soap and toilet paper 
curse god under our sparkly covid masks-

No need for mall slashings or pressure cooker bombs
Just plant a few wolves dressed as lip stick lambs
Have them silence opposing opinions with racism chants-
Watch the media spotlight a mad dog shooter and a rogue cop
to them democracy is a demon and only worthy to rot-

No need for new age Luftwaffe or Stalinist migs 
to brain spray our safe spacing- I pod junkie kids.
Just fill institutions with naive freebie magicians
intolerant-contrarian-purple headed-anti Christians.  
Watch them brand capitalist pig deep into the skin
of the hard-working WOMAN AND MAN...
as the elitist beamer their way to their fine gated homes 

No need to invade us with a billion red atheist,
just buy a cheap blowhorn armed with 
"Separation of church and state".
lord doesn't Satan love a red loyalist hater...
it's so easy cleaving god from the courts and schools
to hobble our freedom of religion and good faith..

One final note to enemies of democracy:
Lady Liberty may be battered and cornered
but in an instant can switch from beckon to blowtorch 
and the eagle is bloodied but still has its teeth
WE THE PEOPLE have always rallied together
to serve up a beat down to all of the beasts-
