Premium Member Morons Are Governing Again

Smoke drifts from the smokestacks
On dark and gloomy days
Just before the first rains of Summer
Crates are collected and stacked
And thrown onto the conveyor belt
So they may disappear into the fortress

A robot sings songs of yesteryear
And humans simply stand by and observe
Give these jeering men some credits
Lest they starve without work
With their blossoming bellies
But they sure love Conservatism

Starving mothers fling underweight babies
Into the jaws of an unforgiving sea
Because they can't take care of them
But neither could they spare them
Remember when a wise man once said
Elections have consequences

A tower is built slowly from the ground up
It starts off small but becomes massive over time
Just like petty rants from the bird's nest seem small
Until they collect over time and form dogma
An entire generation tainted by evil
And the devil himself is blushing

Alas drown your sorrows at the beach
And swim in a sea of glittering garbage
Because this great sea sure does flow
Where thriving cities once stood
But now they reside deep underwater
Entombed by science denial

And for every peace loving Christian
Is one who spreads dissension like disease
Who thrives on stapling gays to the cross
As if it were 1965 in the redneck south
And in truth every person who lets it happen
Is just as guilty as the transgressors 

When the good lord said love thy neighbor
Could he have known they'd cast the first stone
Upon all the liars and all the sinners
Just peel apart the jowls of the maiden sinner
And find the seven deadly sins cowering
From a man dressed in a burlap sack

Patience for appeasers is something I lack
And as I rip away the images of this distorted future
I look to the future in two years from now
And I just hope deep in my heart we've had enough
Because at first 2016 gave me a future to believe in
But now Morons Are Governing Again

Governing Truths

Abscess
   confessed
     obsessed
       digressed.

A government abscess confessed test,
 power play in obsessed digressed mess.

Symptoms of Nigeria's Governing Arms

Executive- My powers are absolute,
                    thus I am totalitarian.
                    The legislature and judiciary
                    are each subservient to my whims.
                    I pass my bills with attendant
                    compliance, and interpret my own
                    terms as the law.
                    I shut the doors of compassion,
                    I am very deeply elusive.
                    I give no room at all to dissent.
                    I get bloated with the treasures of the nation.
                    In a leap year's tenure I bulldoze
                    my way back to my incumbent status.
                    And when four multiplies two, I impose
                    a minion to cover my ills.

Legislature- To obnoxious decrees I give my consent.
                       I inflate yearly forecasts to become opulent.
                       I am gratified for the cabinet servants' affirmation.
                       I always my selfish treaties ratify.
                       I am undoubtedly slavish to executive excesses.
                       I seek the redress of constituents' grievances
                       to enlarge my pocket's size.
                       And above all else, I am largely rubber stamp.

Judiciary- My evasive justice is yours' to reap
                   if you are a top notch,
                   whilst I withdraw the distributive
                   and restorative from insolvents.
                   I base my interpretations on business
                   interests,
                   and make laws for the interests of
                   a cabal.
                   Equity and rights are only in my
                   constitution stated.
                   But in reality they are no more
                   than abstract twins.
                   The sacred laws of our national prospectus
                   I serve as a weak custodian of,
                   and weaker still in the face of political
                   heavyweights.
                   But with all the lofty responsibilities
                   I am reverently saddled with,
                   I can do nothing more than
                   empower bigwigs because I am weak,
                  and they are powerful.

Free the press..The only phrase i guess?
Kit Klarenberg such a danger?
(Can the truth!) 
the duress.' 
U-nkind
K-ontrol
Devouring whole..Misinfo minions so much
Is stole.' Self-improvement chance to grow
Drainstream media, and a governance cold
Catch the narratives, its how they roll
Deep in excrement, filth and spew
I give you current, western
Democracy and such a
Darkness how could
This become
True.?

The life of the real governing authority

Acts stacks
In boxes packs
And they're checked With tests of ducks

This is called the archivation 
For Intelligence of Nation
For Security of Nation 
Safety of the Information

Acts prepared for publication 
Passed secure evaluation

Something there must be code 
Something there must be node 
But because we don't want cation 
Data guarded with anode

Dels may not be mixed with deals 
And require Government Seals

Automatic computations
Can't disrupt Secure Nation

The limit of bound exists 
Syntax, Symbols, INT HISTINT

Making sense of all this data 
Purposefully, Intellect,
In accordance with regulations 
Analyses Cause Effect

Data structs require we
Paradigm Multi-domain
If we place accent of FAT A 
Does B serving for our gain?

Here we require 
System of the PEs 
Elements processing 
Secures, Intercepts

Floating points share data 
Within they own domains 
Computation paradigming 
Their own super main

Library of the Congress, 
May I have my copy? YES
We would like proposal make 
This is our own take!!

Laws shall be correctly worded 
Orders reasonably ordered 
And the System with respect 
Will produce new super ACT

This C7 supercool 
Awesome, brilliant new tool
Its sophisticated units 
Differences draw in FOO L 

In responsible domaining 
Quality ensures the truth

In responsible domaining 
Competence ensures the truth

Many interesting new branches 
Its new healthy kernel spurs


Computer comprehending original intent
Decided to prohibit non-genuine content
And ill sense making also, machines, systems, programs 
Judge this is very excellent, param param param
