The Naked Combover
Why is it, dear,
that the combover speaks as brazenly
as a fat corporate-fed,
way too marbled whitemeat
Naked Emperor
at a Progressive Costume Party?
Because his favorite soundbites are
"I am the best hair-dressed Emperor
these RedStates have ever fed"
followed too loudly by,
"And I am here to listen to
and help you
and God bless AmericaIncorporated First!!!!!"
And you know
he is nakedly lying
from the top of his bald combovered head
all the way through the ****-stained bit
about listening,
because we know he's too busy twittering
in the morning
to step into
his best-dressed CEO corporate-fat role
of fear-mongering
and monocultural apartheid
anger-militarized mismanagement,
and other terrifying LoseLose pushbutton regimes
of paranoid and fascist
Supreme Naked Emperor images
still trying to work that hopeless combover.
Honey, really,
don't you have anything healthier to obsess about?
Yes, but our kids' teachers
believe secular natural egosystems
are something other than the exterior LeftBrain face
of sacred spiritual RightBrain ecosystems,
Which is what you plan to obsess about next,
but its difficult to find any who seem likely to listen
to secular-sacred harmonic students,
much less parents,
any more or less
than my own evangelical Christian parents did,
or the local Catholic priest currently Holy Communions
in that apartheid cathedral
built of universal historical matter.
Well, it does sound like we have a lot
on our Their Not Listening communion plates.
Perhaps if we first listened better
to their long crippled suffering
they might be able to hear our's better?
That's a thought,
although it doesn't seem to be working
with the POTUS.
Well, dear,
don't beat yourself up.
Remember the verse about having ears to hear
and eyes to see
that a combover
does not suggest deep powers
to co-passionately listen
to one's own naked and vulnerable aging self.
Stuck in perpetual bullying adolescence
as learned in military school,
more likely.
I wonder how he would look
in a Marine cut?
If not healthier,
then at least more honest.
