Donnie T!

Look at me I’m Donnie T!
Unbound by reality
Out of my head
But my hat is bright red
It’s me!
I’m Donnie T…ee…ee

I have a great slogan
I’m pals with Joe Rogan
(Great guy. Very short.)
It’s me!
I’m Donnie T!

A real stable genius
I have a yuge 
(don’t judge my hands)
(they’re quite large for a man)
Say’s me 
I’m Donnie T…ee…ee

Work for me you’ll

Fake News

Whispers in the dark, 
Shadows dance, truth twists and fades, 
Empty echoes fall.

FAKE NEWS FICTION

Galvanizing, never scrutinized; each moment falsely tabulated;
Slanted, polarized polls, punishing spiteful pundits
Spouting, spinning lies in frantic unison squawking
Ridiculous versions of fear mongering tales,
Meant to frighten, meant to hurt,
Meant to clutch and pulverize power.

It takes only a calm, rational thinking moment
To see through the maze of their foggy logic.
Nothing they say is fact checked or based

Doom and Gloom

It’s pretty easy to write hysterical headlines;

News flash; everyone is going to die!

And yet, it’s just as easy to spin it elseways;

News flash; everyone is alive!

But the known is not news
While the possible is, possibly
And the hysterical sells, definitely

Somewhere in our human nature
We are wired to project the worst
As we plan for the best
Flipping the

Haitian Immigrants And Other Migrant Workers Do Not Eat Pets

Yes, this is a bad joke
Yes, this is a sad comedy
What an irony
What a parody
Smile and smirk, so you won’t be poked
What a hilarious lie! It is a travesty
Immigrants don’t eat pets
They eat beef, chicken, and pork
Like you and me. All bets
Are off. Let’s be serious and dark
Migrant workers are looking for jobs
What a spoiled

Smoke and Mirrors

("Perception/Reality Merit Badge" #62, 2015, original oil)

Smoke and Mirrors

Amid the flux
Of shimmering sound and vision
Someone is lying
Is it your eyes 
Is it your ears
Is it those pulling the levers
And splicing the tapes
Or is it all of the above?

In the end
It’s not the lying that matters
Since that’s what senses
And people do
It’s the believing
That will get you

Live Free or Die

("The Cave of Unknowing", 2012, original oil)

Live Free or Die

Live free or die!
Well, we’re all gonna die,
But living and dying free
Is obviously the way to go.

Freedom of speech
May be the root of all our freedoms
But it’s meaningless
If all we can do is parrot others.

Look around
The night sky is daylight bright now
From all the gaslighting we

Oh How Far We’ve Fallen

I followed another rabbit hole this morning and stumbled upon this article from ‘The Atlantic. I won’t give you the author’s name, though I’m sure a quick search on google would reveal it. There was a line in the 4th paragraph that reads, “They always bend a knee”, ‘he reportedly told someone.’ When we hear

Weaselly

Weaselly words deftly ply their sly stench,
As they undo the truth nut with a wrench,
With half-truths, errors and fake news woven
Into a spider's web of lies, stolen.

The cloak of vagueness and doubt created,
Is stained, defaced with deceit, dictated.
To veil intentions with twisted meaning,
Camouflaged in patch-ups so demeaning.

Weaselly words, so cunningly devised,
Mask the truth so despised,

The Real News

Joe Biden now rules our White House
Together with his 'doctor' spouse.
   His blunders, for sure-
   We have to endure;
To caring, he does not espouse.

Those mishaps, like names he misspoke-
For sure, were not meant as a joke.
   But much worse by far
   His failures that scar-
Appeasing the will

Fake News, the Big Lie, Jan 6th, Nothing Classified

There's a symbol for our justice,
    Holding scales while she is blind.
Yet it seems the 'MAGAteers' have extended
    This further, adding deaf and dumb to their mind.

Because they have made the choice not to
    See, hear, or think, as they ignore reality.
While they follow a corrupted

Fake Fake News Folks

the real talkers
incessant ones without facts
become loud sometimes
never want to hear your voice
yelling fake fake news
getting it from their new god
or his new tv station

Ha, Ha, Ha.
Hee, Hee, Hee, Hee
False Laughter,
And forced jollity.

Anything false or fake.
I dislike,
And find it hard to take,
Where is the truth hidden,

Is it locked up somewhere?
Forbidden,
For all to share,
Why hide the truth,
That's not fair.

Fairness, where is that today,
Fakeness has got in the way,
Oy Vey!
Dismal indeed,
How we all need,

Some truth and laughter,
Back in our lives,
So we
