Electoral-Silly-Putty

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

We live in a land where certain things should be “conserved.” No one wants to see “change” cause more loss of forests, streams, clean air, clean energy, jobs, futures et al. But, how dumb must we be to buy into…

Electoral-Silly-Putty

Today
Beatific types preach
"Believe!"

WTF?

Separation of church and state
a mirage ready to succumb?

Listen up elitists

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

Stay alert

That gathering dust storm of power lust
Vies to become a tornado

Given camouflage of fantasy vestments
These alien shamans of another kind
Exude malleable
Capricious
Relentless
Anger rousing
Primal instincts
Sans common sense

Beware

Beneath flowing fraudulent purity
Resides putrefaction
A swirling eunuch-ized disease
Feeding on itself

Don't forget

Supernatural obsessions
possess incestuous mental proclivities
Aberrant life movement
Insects ignore
Animals overlook
Non-anesthetized sentient beings
Stare with pity

How hard must the slap be?

Hard enough

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

Such a dilatant scourge
Playacting as savioristic
Will eventually return to its origins
The nothingness of all beginnings
Perhaps given another chance

In the meantime...

Make-believe factories
Of holier than thou pontificates
Pump out more and more
Bouncy bounce
Electoral-Silly-Putty

Amen! A Mike Tyson punch in the face write. I address this also in my recent construct: "a glimpse into the political treasonist" Peace ... richard

Couldn't agree with you more, Okin. There is no doubt in my mind that we are seeing with our own eyes, and are partially to blame for it also, the complete collapse of what America was founded for, and stood for, all these many years. I don't see a reversal of this trend, only a willy-nilly stampede off the cliff.
