Three Bronx Cheers For These Presidents

(To American Protesters) Let them go on with puppetry and think our life is a game Or a gambling scene where they win at the cost of our dear name, Just to heap wealth or fix their steps in more future collusion, Boasting of serving poor people, seeking to reach their own aim. Let others sleep or clown around. We know who he had in mind Who first introduced Republic1 — not these fools who have no shame, Not lawyers, or politicians, or dealers, sunk in the ditch Of legal fraud and truthful lies, our dignity to defame. With these seekers of private wealth in the name of their nation This fallen world shall not prosper; it shall sure burst into flame. True devoted scholars we need who rely on native means, Not robbers looking for riches outside their own inland frame. Let’s not take part in these fool games. They ‘are not’ the s.h.i.t they claim. Once we are fooled, for four odd years ourselves we shall have to blame. 10.23.’20 1. See Plato’s Republic. No comments, please!
