If dissidents make dissonance,
is assonance from a**es?
They really ought to teach these things
in literary classes…

The unprecedented antics and double standards
you see from the Left, are Satan's chain letters
falling from their pockets,
as they flail wildly, swinging their hatred for Trump
and other dissidents,
that challenge their cozy status quo. Forgetting in their rage
that which was supposed to be kept secret,
including their reply love letters back."

Please, remain calm Resident:
Just for the New President...
I can see in his tenure
That farms shall meet rich manure,
Farmers quite huge bags procure,
Less of farm losses incur,
Sick plants and animals free cure
And, first, economy, cure!
So, relax Tense Resident:
You shall have Sweet President...
One who shall fight Man's failure,
Close Office of Sinecure:
Keep saying "Not my tenure!"
Allow to stay: Manicure,
Not embarrass Pedicure,
Orders that their taxing sure,
To not escape same Coiffure...
President for 'The Long Poor'
Not included Roadside Whore;
Against her shall go to war,
Tell her to her face "She's raw"
And her kicking out in store...
Means, therefore, all residents
Need to cheer up dissidents.

Now, sepulcher after sepulcher!
Bitter fall-out of a massacre!
After talks failed: the Bilateral
And later the Multilateral:
Fortunate corpses for epitaph,
Missing in action for cenotaph…
Men glory in reckless bloodshed
That succeeds in fields painting red:
Attorneys could them prosecute;
Dissidents they must first execute!
They may be tried for genocide;
Some mosquitoes braved insecticide
Why do we death play like a coupon?
A good shot does that from bad weapon…
In hospital condition serious:
That of shot-in-the-head Prince Julius!

Marlene Dietrich was Berlin-born, but she despised the Nazis.
She studied violin, theater and poetry.
Her dreams of being a concert pianist was over when she injured her wrist.
She got her start on the stage in a chorus line.
Paramount pictures wanted her, so they wooed her.
Gave her a green Rolls-Royce Phantom II, in 1930.
She was known in the USA as a mysterious femme fatale.
She played several rolls as a cabaret singer.
German’s Nazi party offered her a lucrative contract.
They wanted her to return to Berlin and star in Nazi productions.
Marlene refused their offer and began selling war bonds.
Her $450,000 salary went into escrow to help Jews and dissidents escape Europe.
She was vocal about her beliefs, standing up for integrity.
She knew what was happening in Europe was wrong.
Few women are as brave, vocal or beautiful as Marlene Dietrich.
Many owe their ancestors’ lives to her.

We are working with our foreign partners in Europe
to bankrupt all western nations.
The less we have, the less we need is the motto.
The President is working night and day
to make us greener than green in every way.
Some malcontents and dissidents complain,
but they just don't understand our great and glorious
global plan.
Gas and coal are obsolete, dinosaur fuels!
Now we have windmills - wind power
and electric batteries.
Imagine diesel trucks powered by
the wind and an electric motor!
An 18-wheeler roaring into the future
run on sun and eh, bubblegum.

Dissidents claim they must reform
The life we accept as the "norm"
As Mother Earth said,
"Until you are dead
Peace lies in the eye of the storm!"

They shout hatred as blood flows
through veins full of rage and madness;
they fly the red white and blue
as lunatic rogues at the helm
rouse and incite flames of dormant lunacy
to claim a nation from under its democracy
well thought out? it seems not
but well suited for a carnival of insanity
for the whole world to see.
Insurrection!! shouts the Left
not so fast says the Right
let’s pretend this never was
But what’s a nation to do?
these aren’t foreign dissidents
penetrated unto our soil
but a homegrown bunch empowered
with guns, might and rights too
this creates far more danger
than ISIS could ever do.
How can it be; this country we love
harboring a homegrown enemy
defined in terror under the guise of the flag
and rights to Amendment Two
an entity if left to grow
shall cut off the neck of a country
once powerful and strong
now divided unto itself in two
an era that will fester like an open sore
if not soon put back together
will live with chaos for ever more
bring shame to a nation once highly exalted
why risk that—now or ever?
Let’s not forget how the world sees us matters
Let’s aim for humanity not disparity.

Inherently feral, protests
have morphed into a foul abscess.
Our formidable nation
spent from false adoration
incites fulminations widespread.
from forged arsenals of hatred.
Inherently feral, protests
have morphed into a foul abscess.
Angry bewildered dissidents
teeming ‘mid brutal incidents,
are leery, believing lies.
Meanwhile broadcasters devise
blindness to ominous truth..
Their solution? the voting booth.
Angry bewildered dissidents
teaming ‘mid brutal incidents.

Ravage our monuments,
empowered dissidents.
Endless entitlements,
from spineless governments.
In this era unplanned,
by fathers of the land.
Divided we stand,
in moral wasteland.

They stand there. these enigmas of time
placard markings, memorialized remembrances refined
of less than a better age,
seemingly forever on wars rampage.
The making of immortalized imposing images dissidents
destruction of both soldier and innocent citizens
that paint a picture blackened to dark and gray
for those who endured in living that day
and the struggles that took others away
in bombs, debris, and democracy exploding to decay.
A war in no uncertain words swirled
the shot of guns and ammo took round the world
to share the hurt, the anguish, and the pain endured to defend
the threat to never retaliate again without an end.
Too long the wars, the battles fought
brief interludes of peace are never bought
and the battles rage, and the missiles roar
as we stand in tears and memory at freedom's shore.
Light the lanterns, shed some light
is peace lost forever in its flight?
Speak now, speak loud
never hold your peace
or the battle cries
lay forever in repeat.

A question or two for those rebels who take a knee
During the USA's National Anthem, openly, for all to see
When playing in Russia will you act similarly
To protest a regime which kills dissidents indiscriminately
What will you do in India or Pakistan when you are there
Will you countenance the torching of women who've had an affair
And against the Saudis, will you make strident demands
When for stealing an apple they cut off their citizen's hands
C'mon now, you heroes, and show us your 'cred'
Stand up for freedom when it may cost you your head

Refuse to hang the innocent
While your gang acquits the guilty
In a tooth for a tooth pronouncement
You state in collusion with the mighty.
Accuse with the ruse in your news dissidents
Whipped into submission
To the coercion of incidents
Incorporated into a dictatorial diction.
Cruise out of control
With your weapons of avid annihilation
Primed to wiped out any pesky patrol
That surveys the sadness and sickness in your jubilation.
Freeze the breeze trees in infancy
Stunted when you hunt down their xylem
In a show of tethered truancy
Boosted by a nihilist anthem.
Use distorted dialogues
Conducted at cross purposes
In muted prologues and monologues
With enfeebled and emaciated faces bereft of choices.
Save knaves and staves
Slaves struggle to free from the tyranny
Perpetrated in war veteran graves
To whom you dished out a cashless cacophony.
Wave flaccid flags flown at half mast
As conflict casualties mount
When baskets of mourning cast
A dark pall on leadership lists of skills to discount.
Despair not. Repair the flare
No longer impotent, no longer content
As venom fangs bare
Death diadems an bother bandanas for the discontent.

I've been misled by my opprobrium again
Stuck in this continuum until the bitter end
Elysian fields beckon me like a moth to flame
Halcyon days gone like 15 minutes of fame
Coal black devil in a pinstripe suit
and the suicide king are in cahoots
To strip me of every last fiber of being
until it's all over but the fleeing
Girded by the phalanx, but still just one man
I wade into the gore as far as I can
Herded like a sheep to its slaughter
I'd fight back but why bother
Miscreants and mendicants, magi and infants
Orchard full of the skulls of dissidents
Juxtapose a joke within the jeer
Somewhere amidst the ennui and the fear
Go to church and lurch forward in your seat
Bring a casserole for the meet and greet
Pixelated images and a distorted voice
mouth full of marbles garbling about choice
Parading about with the éclat of a Broadway actor
while actually looking for the next benefactor
Truth be told, water does come from a stone
As long as the glory is given to God alone

You are not a good person at all
If you don’t promote what is good
And prevent things which is bad
You are a person indeed mean
When you suppress the meritorious
And accommodate the undeserving
The place is not really the good one
Where dissidents are not tolerated
And treat well who are in the opposition
Your education is totally worthless
If you don’t have the ability to distinguish
What is falsity and what is truth
Your life is really a nasty big mess
When you are fully capable of
Yet you refuse to differentiate
What is wrong and what is right
Your mind is a stinky rotten piece
When you have adorable love at hand
Yet you go spreading abominable hate
Your soul is not pure and lively either
If you hold malice against the race of man
And talk ill out of bigotry or prejudice.
