Thirty-Eight Caliber Candy

The border is broken and ignored.
Mixed in with desperate angels are snakes-demons-gangsters.
The latest game of Chinese checkers
(the fentanyl plague) has taken the place of the Wuhan rage...
Body bags are filling with our young, their silky dreams-undone-undone.
 
A parade float governor belches. 
No more cash bail for the violent.
Claiming (from behind his wall) this will make citizens safer. 
Prisons are being emptied into once peaceful places.
Lori Lightfoot waves her dog-eared race card again.
The sheep will always vote the same-the -same.
As black brains are being sprayed with .38 caliber candy.

Even Afghanistan is a more peaceful place
than the Un-United States.

Soros hornets, along with the ghosts of Mao and Marx
are stinging Lady Liberty to death.

A sad state of affairs when lady liberty is put to death by insolent leaders, not only in the United States, but in most other countries of the world ! A powerful poem...
