Not Funny Anymore



On the eve of the battle
To be more than cattle
Branded the enemy of
The people that we love
By an insult comic who
Got big but never grew

An authoritarian
Tinpot Putin put in
Wannabe who wants to be
The king of comedy
Butts into a big surprise
The verdict otherwise

Through the hands that prove too small
To grasp it after all
Falls the after of before
Tomorrow is the war
Once and future destiny
Not funny anymore
He forgot that we were free

The Sixth of November
The rest of us remember

You have that right, the court jester running the court. The strange part is that so many don't seem to see it and follow him like lambs to the slaughter.

On November 6, the great divide, let's hope sanity will prevail and he will be on the down slide.

I already voted.
This land I want to save.
Time for the circus to leave town.
Roll on blue wave.
