Then the NRA counter-evolutionaries
are an automated killer infestation.

is not pessimistic
Lose/Win risk
but nihilistic
Lose/Lose geno/eco-cide.
Fa, la, la,
the politicians stump.
Blah, blah, blah,
It's Donald Trump.

yet utterly
undemocratically wrong
for the United States of Earth?
Electoral College is proof
Many have grown long in the tooth.
Some votes do not count.
Hurt feelings soon mount.
Democracy is our big spoof.
DON'T vote for Hillary who's just got no clue
because she is full of voodoo
Hillary is guilty of many a crime
so tip the vote so she does time!
The Democrats in disarray
Say Old Joe will go away
And socialism is at stake,
But can Kamala bake the cake
To make the braying donkeys stay?

restorative healing imaginations?
Politics has always been about power
Those who have it, wield it
Those who’ve lost it

To please the sharer of the Rabbit
In the desperate hope
That our masquerading
Will warrant us a piece
Of the craved Meat!
I do worry
just a wiggly bit,
about poetrysoup
following a categorical ingredient menu
including golf and giggle
but not weaving and justice,
or even wiggle.

Tone of Judith emperor of resolution stand high
hexagram of faith engage truth of day
Congregation salah of hymn
Voice of heaven above
What is it to listen.
A vice president can’t
Over-ride a president’s choice
Because the president has
The final say-so on everything
If I’m not mistaken, so
How can they be at fault
Your Trump Derangement Syndrome
is causing pandemonium
amongst your compatriots
and it has taken all your sapience,
please turn right
and exit from the catacombs
Oops, another pesky right-wing conspiracy theory mythbusted!

Mike Pence bravely upheld the Constitution
Now Mr. T. wants to exact retribution
If the Presidency is in Mike's future
Let Mr. T. bleed to death without sutures
Politics has always been rough and tumble
a bare-knuckle fight in a concrete jungle
Those who preach togetherness and unity
flail their arms at windmills uselessly
Animus, LeftBrain's ego seduction
invites Anima
for RightMind ecosystemic induction.
Together,
a spirited tragic-deductive/comedic-inductive
WinWin soul-production.
