Politcal Silly-Putty

by Odin odin@aflx.com — Read all 3,869 poems by Odin odin@aflx.com

Do you ever have one of those days? Three states fighting it out for political power; reverses on impeachment testimony, and to top it off, how about Giuliani’s buddy ready to talk. Yeah, one of those days. This country’s politics it really f—ked up. (Image by pinterest)

Political Silly-Putty

 

Today
Beatific types squirmed
"It WAS a quid pro quo”

 

WTF?

 

Senators,

Are staying quiet
a mirage ready to succumb?

 

Listen up voters

 

You know
Those who think beyond the soundbites
Who respect knowledge
Not talk show
Or on the stump
Smile-chasing-emotion-merchants

 

Stay alert

 

That gathering dust storm of power lust
Is vying to become a tornado

 

Given camouflage for re-election
Some conscience-minds might be starting to emerge
From the capricious
Relentless
Anger rousing
Primal instincts of cowardice behavior…


Yet..

 

Many are still looking for some armor

 

Beware

 

Beneath flowing fraudulent rhetoric
Resides putrefaction
A swirling eunuch disease
Feeding on itself

 

Don't forget

 

Delusional obsessions
Possess incestuous political proclivities
Aberrant life movement
Even as non-anesthetized sentient beings
Stare with pity

 

How hard must the concussion be?

 

Hard enough

 

Like its silly putty counterpart
Such nonsensical diversion eventually breaks down
And like its anomalous Viscoelasticity
This non-Newtonian flow
Acting as elastic solid in the short run
Eventually succumbs to long term solidification
Becoming a gummy liquid
A primitive imprisonment
Awaiting evaporation

 

Such a dilatant scourge
Playacting as savior in chief
Will eventually return to its origins
The nothingness of all beginnings
Hopefully never given another chance

 

In the meantime...

 

Make-believe political factories
Of holier than thou pontificates
Pump out more and more
squishy-squeeze
Political-Silly-Putty

Observing what's going on is like a soap opera except this is real and dangerous. I pray that God spreads His love upon all people. I pray that humans start taking care of the Earth. "Disposable!"! The word of the day! I've got to stop or I won't.

Love ya, Odin!

A very thoughtful poem to help us ponder.
STILL THE ANSWER is in: The TEN COMMANDMENTS!
HINT: DO NOT KILL OUR BABIES!
PERIOD!

Had to look up, " Viscoelasticity." Even the description was sorta mind-blogging.

Politics! I stay away from imposng my thoughts on the political sites. At least seldom do I put my two cents into the poltical jungle. Still, I pretty much keep up with things.

The outright lies are bad enough. When you add in the rhetoric, hyperbole and dehumanizing of people, I wonder how much worse it can get before it gets better.

You have incisively described all the reasons why I try to avoid the quagmire of present-day politics with a vengeance. It is all just too toxic for words.
