Premium MemberDemocracy Takes a Beating

   Attending an ‘SDS’ meeting 
      Watched ‘Democracy’ take a beating

   Listened to strident, long-haired voices denounce the USA
      shilling for Marx, Hegel, and Lenin all the way

   As for ‘law and order,’ it was ‘Kill the Fuzz.’ ‘Off the pigs’
      SDS ‘big bad wolves’ sure got in their digs   

   "Boycott Israel, the apartheid state"
      Accusations against South Africa could wait... 

   ‘Systemic racism, colonial imperialism, a fascist President’
      The SDS in 1969 ~ blazing trails for today’s arguments…


   ________________________________________________
   "SDS," Students for a Democratic Society, was the 1960's 
   forerunner of the 'cultural Marxism' infecting universities and
   even some corporate boardrooms today.

Golf backwards is flog; God backwards is dog
Eat backwards is tea; team backwards is meat
Pot backwards is top; top backwards is pot
         ~ And ton backwards is not!

Nap backwards is pan; nip backwards is pin
Raw backwards is war; Ron backwards is nor.
         ~ But 3 backwards is not 4!

There are so many of these where the
first and last consonant are the same, like
   Bob, pop, top, mom, dad, bub, bib, did, dud
   gag, Lil, mum, nun, pup, peep, sees, tot, wow ...
         ~ Tho heh is not for horses!
  
...Not to mention all the acronyms, like
  ABA, AMA, ARA, CCC, LOL, SDS, SOS  
         ~ And SSA is Mule!

Weatherman

WEATHERMAN

before declaring a major
he studied bomb making
with a beautiful girl
who wore tight bell-bottom jeans
and assured him she knew 
what she was doing.  SDS or 
Weatherman Underground
he never knew, but some time
near the end of the decade
she disappeared after informing
him he’d never get the knack
of handling explosives
with the respect
they deserved.
he went back to his structured
classes, studied meteorology
and became a local celebrity
by predicting exactly
which way the wind
would blow.
he liked to imagine
she’d be proud
of his skills in forecasting
unpredictable phenomenon.  
when he thinks
about  those college years,
the long-haired girl bent
over dynamite
in too tight jeans
instructing him 
in the proper use of fuses
(in too tight jeans),

he never once got it right.
