The hate is so thick,
Like killing snake, brutal,
Demonize, frontal.

The world is changing in a profound way,
by the philosophy of fear and lies.
You can't trust a word politicians say;
they connive and editorialize.
And legislate laws that legitimize
corruption and greed for personal gain.
The tactics they employ to terrorize
are indispensable to hate's campaign.
Dictators strip democracy away
slowly, so folks don't even realize.
Tyrants interject God into the fray,
persecuting any who criticize.
The ignorant get taught to recognize
the poor and weak as the root of their pain.
Ways to demonize and rationalize
are indispensable to hate's campaign.
Potentates kill people who are born gay;
their fate is just something to televise.
Soulless, pretending to believe, they pray;
their belief is easy to synthesize.
Bigotry is quick to popularize
despite being cruel and inhumane.
The detention camps that militarize;
are indispensable to hate's campaign.
Fascism is set to materialize
and show its ugly face yet once again.
And propagandists that destabilize
are indispensable to hate's campaign.

extravagant disgust
manifested by evil...outrageous
imbecile sacrilegious,
to torture the color,
to vilify nature,
to demonize the human...
With magnificent ramblas
but spirits so narrow, it
seems exponential, but
it's just spiritual retardation...
the pomp of wickedness,
rips in greatness
which should already be consolidated
after so long to evolve...
What a shame ! so much involution!

Short and sweet, Brandon
I see you have your 'game on'
'Don't demonize the rioters,' you say
Well, why should we bother
When YOU, sir, are the DEVIL ~ all of Chicago pays
__________________________________________
'Teen Takeover' of Downtown Chicago Saturday night
(April 16), resulted in two people shot, dozens injured,
and widespread property damage. Visitors to Chicago
had to be herded back to their hotels. And what does
Brandon Johnson, the 'Mayor-Elect,' choose to say?
'Do not demonize those who took part in the violence
and mayhem...' How about a blanket condemnation of
these criminal youth, chump?! Don't you realize they're
testing you, and you just flunked the first test?!

Sometimes he tries
To slim his size
But mostly sighs:
Weight on the rise.
Deferring fries,
And apple pies,
He never cries,
Nor does despise.
It’s no surprise
There’s no demise
In what he spies;
The arrow flies
To greater highs.
He does surmise
That it’s unwise
To demonize
Or criticize;
His will just dies.
A compromise!
And so he buys
A gallon size
Of ice cream: one
Instead of two.

Queen of pain and stress
Born to hurt and oppress
Loathe, hate and despise
Always ready to demonize
Whatever you say or do
Will be used against you
To whip day and night
With no means to defend or fight
No right for mercy
For you are judged by hearsay.

I believed it was the end of the world.
Prepared to leave, the mortal whorled.
Into the domain of the spiritual pearled.
Into the darkness and absurd.
But the butterfly made us realize.
Death is the starting point that applies.
I've evolved into a spiritual not demonize.
From a seasoned butterfly and eagle eyes.

Black cats and witches on brooms,
Skeletons emerging out of their tombs.
Eerie bats with bloodshot eyes,
Pale, evil ghosts who all demonize.
Monsters crawling through the night,
Giving all a terrible fright.
The dead come alive in the wintry darkness,
A horrid creature creeping through the window, faceless.
Zombies feasting on squishy warm brains,
In the air the smell of raw flesh remains.
Blood curdling shrieks from dungeons below,
As a ghoulish alien walks by very slow.
Vampires with blood trickling down their fangs,
Satiating their intense hunger pangs.
The Devil was truly diabolical in his ways,
Using trickery to lure kids into dingy hallways.
Kids on the street paralyzed with fear,
Expecting abduction from anything near.
Whispering cautionary words to each other,
They held on tight to one another.
Now we shall wait to go trick or treating again,
And smash creepy pumpkins that we obtain.
By and far the scariest Halloween anyone had seen,
Young and old won't forget this bone-chilling scene.

The same people who are demanding
I put a suffocating thong over my face
are the same ones who lift sieves from borders
and invite in the slag along with the gold
the ones with no respect for law and order
the same ones that demonize all police
the same ones who close an ocean
because of a stray rogue on the beach
the same ones who claim
they can stop rioting with a hug and bubbles of love
the same ones that showcase the rarities in society
boiling our souls for the sake of blood ratings
the same ones that release violent inmates
into society to protect them from the flu
the same ones that are defacing honest Abe
the same ones that use retirement homes
as halfway houses for rapists and drug addicts
the same ones that rip toilets from their mansions
to avoid paying taxes-while raising mine...
that's why you can bet your sweet "regressive" behind
that my thumb will be turning red come November.

It is What it is – weasel words for our times
We live in an age
Of the weasel words
Orwellian thought police run amuk
Words used as weapons
To limit critical thought
And avoid rational thought
These words are everywhere
Few question them
Most fall in line
Hypnotized lobotomized
by these weasel words
the president is a master
of using words as political weapons
to demonize his opponents
to browbeat them into submission
throwing up mental traps around them
it is what it is
what does that even mean
what is the it that is
and what is the reason
that it is what it is
no one can answer
no one really knows
it is what it is after all
and who are you to question
the President’s reality?
And so it goes
The endless parade
Of the weasel words
That have corrupted
Our minds and our very souls
Doing what they are designed to do
Shutting down our critical thinking
As we all submit to the needs
Of the corporate system
That has taken over the world
And that is the meaning
Of it is what is

Anybody can be racist:
black, white, yellow, red, or brown;
if you think a her or him
can be defined by their skin,
then you’re a racist all the way down.
Anybody can be a racist,
forget this power/privilege crap,
if you judge folks on their flesh
then you’re just wasting your breath,
because you’re a bigot, and that’s a fact.
Anybody can be racist,
your tint doesn’t make you immune;
you may think it’s lots of fun
to demonize everyone,
but in truth, you’re just sealing your doom.
Anybody can be racist,
those who tell you otherwise lie;
yes, the best way to behave
is not to care about your shade,
and judge other folks one at a time.

As the pregnant moon begins to rise,
one can hear the mournful cries
And when the spirts start their prowl
rabid wolves began to howl
From the manor house upon the hill,
you can hear the mournful shrill
from the souls who dwell inside,
who were killed and tossed aside
Some phantoms have been seen,
and as the moon lights up the scene
one can hear the groans and cries,
as if these sounds were demonize
A priest went there to investigate,
but no one knows his fate
Perhaps he too is now a ghost,
and has become the spirt’s host
Stay away from that place they say,
or you will never see another day
for the ancient manor on that hill,
sits there waiting for another kill

Overanalyze and criticize, demoralize and ostracize
Modern pundits legitimize their vicious exercise
Scrutinize and standardize, compartmentalize and cannibalize
Wizards of efficiency synchronize, initialize and circumcise
Demobilize and paralyze, stigmatize and de-humanize
Westernized pols, their constituents balkanize and polarize
Trivialize and miniaturize, standardize and sterilize
Thought-police priesthoods evangelize and moralize
Why can't they fraternize and socialize?
Why don't they harmonize and compromise?
