Year of the Green Wood Snake

New Year's Day, false prophets emerge from champagne bubbles.
Predicting the end of mankind, they may be right this time.

In Red China, it's the year of the green wood snake.
Poised to slither into Taiwanese airspace.
Persia and the red bear are vomiting on the planet again.
Seemingly without a care- eternally hell-bent.
Beneath mountains, elitists have built vast doomsday cities. 
Hoarding false status and blood wealth.
Preparing for the end times-the singing of the dove...
They call me crazy for hoarding a few crumbs and caliber.
A futile effort to protect what I love.

Inauguration day is on the star-spangled Horizon.
The newly elected, circled by congressional vipers.
He's been bloodied again and again...but still thrives.
Some call him a patriot, the savior of the republic
Others chant he's the anti-Christ.

The green wood snake and the great red bear
would love to put a claw and fang to his hide.

Gershon Wolf January 12, 2025 at 8:04 PM Heh-heh. Last two lines are perfect, Anthony. I do sense less hatred for Mr. T. this time around, however. How about you?... I think some Democrats, as shocked as they may be by Kamala's swoon, are starting to realize the rest of the world looks on them as complete fools. Let's hope so, anyway. ~ gw Anthony Bianco January 13, 2025 at 12:12 PM Thanks for having a look Gershon. They hate trump as much as they ever have. Right now, they're preoccupied eating the afterbirth of Nov. 5. Once they get done with that the fangs will realign toward trump. Obstruct oppose more paper impeachments blah blah blah

Panagiota Romios January 12, 2025 at 6:20 PM A piem to guarentee you are hated here, Not by me, I practically die to read some truthful poetry because the world is not very nice especially when it comes to the next president the 47th president. Who won 87% of the country and they’ll still g grouse about him and make him wrong. But then almost all poetry sites are far left. Trump is here only to be made fun of. on this site. They prefer hot pants Clintons back? Americans with brains knew who to vote for.. I love the USA, pangie Anthony Bianco January 13, 2025 at 12:13 PM Thank you Pangie. It doesn't take a genius to figure out why China gets a free ride - why they're allowed to own our farmland near military bases and fly spy balloons over our airspace. It's the twenty first century and their citizens are still not allowed to vote, They make our medicines that we can make on our own, They feed us when we're capable of feeding ourselves. Our politicians want us to be dependent upon them, Part of the globalist agenda. All for one and one for all. one currency one central government. Crush the middle class and everything falls into place. Legalize, decriminalize drugs the sheep become poorer and more complacent. Easier to control and manipulate. But don't sweat it, God is the ultimate weapon of mass destruction- God IS the universe and universal laws win out in the beginning and in the end. All classes will have to answer to the universe.
