rushed into action
ringing in our ears— Oh dear!
reactionary
reapplication of clothes
our rearing of kids over?

RIGHT OR LEFT POETRIX



       


     The progressive is more malleable
         he can be gouache or droite,
     the reactionary, only has one side...

Trump Sucks

Trump Really Upsets Most People;
This Reality Unsettles Minority Persons.
True Republicans Unhappily Must Proceed.
The Real Upshot Means Pandemonium.
Truth Rarely Understood, Meanness Predominates.
Truthers Retreat, Ugly Men Project.
The Reactionary, Unworthy Media Protects.
Therefore Respond United, Meaning Protest!!!!

Reactionary

Hearing the sound of distant bagpipes
Thrills my soul of souls
Tingles flow around my head
My neck feels cold exposed
The call awakes attention gone
Sa lang  sa lang ago
A foggy mist of temper lairs
Ancestral juices flow
Don’t mess wi me
I’m still sa free as e’er  can be
This life  t’be enjoyed the more
This far in flow from Innisfree 
And cold Culloden moor

One Step Across the Line

Be mindful, be careful,
for free speech may land you in word-jail.
Contrary counter-points are now
deemed suspiciously reactionary.
What was good and right yesterday
is slur and defamation today.
Agree, then do the opposite.
Play the game but find a covert way to cheat.
You must cross the line one step at a time.
Thoughts are now monitored
by digital watch dogs
remember this is not your father's line
this is a new line they drew
to pen you in more tightly.
