marginal lies: a shun

who doesn’t like

Diversity, Equality and Inclusion?

the big Cheese, that’s who,

and a bunch of Nutheads wearing red hats.

so a campaign of lies, executive orders,

and scorched-earth undoings

is undoing, has undone, and will undo DEI,

while war crimes and threats are undoing

the integrity

and possibly, eventually, the existence

of the United States of America.

..

every lie, grandiose or marginal,

needs to be repudiated.

let us use airhorns.

let us walk away from the sham “press conference”

and the sham “town hall meeting.”

let us sell Huggies

and hip waders

at the poisonous rallies, blasting

“GETTING DEEP IN HERE”

at 110 decibels.

..

it is time to stop the theft

of Truth.

    Image made me laugh — and enjoyed your poem! Interesting to compare this to your two most recent ones!

      Thanks!! I just saw your “Deepwater Portfolio” and it resonates. More crime dovetailing with fossil fuel acquisition. A crime against Mother Earth Herself. Keep up the good work Fighting the Power, friend!!
