Democracy as Demagoguery
When politicians Are propagandists Democracy is demagoguery You’ll have to look these words up Intelligence is now idiocracy Friends and allies Are traitors and spies We recline to our social spheres Try not to breathe in this atmosphere There is nothing to fear But blissful ignorace So we la-di-da our way into incoherence There was a time we used to care About each other, the planet Our future and that of others Now we turn on our own Sisters and brothers Mothers and lovers The monsters plot Some fiendish plan Some grand design To rule the land Thanks to the Trumps and Putins The Brexiteers’ bloody cheers The hateful banter of the ill-reputed You win, OK, you’ve laid ruin To the You-Us, Eh So “Don” your red hats And swing that hammer and sickle Load your guns And glam for the cam As our world sizzles. litglob © 2019 Quick note that I won’t be posting much here. Tumblr has become quite a hive and haven for scum and villainy and the depraved. A hotbed for bots and spam and shell accounts. The poets and writers here are a voice of hope and reason. You guys rock. I consider you friends and allies. Your words are important. Keep on. I have other battles in the near term. The election season is a time for Trump’s renewed treason. Stay woke. Believe. Most people hold dear truth and justice, peace and love, and history will be on our side. Impeachment is a start to the reckoning and rebuilding process.
