Meals on Wheels feeds needy
old folks & house-bounds,
its not some sort of luxury blue-apron
celebrity-chef at your door in minutes
creme-de-brule & lobster fricasee,

its basic nutritious food that many needy
folks depend on to help them get through
each day,

but Trump & his Republicans have decided this
is, what, a luxury that promotes dependency,
an unnecessary largesse on the part of a near
socialist dictatorship,

that bringing food to the needy is just way, way
too beyond the financial abilities of the mighty
U.S of A,

but of course there's a billion dollar wall to be built
to hold back brown people,
there's more tanks, bigger ships, fancier airplanes,
oh & what ... Mar-A-Lago golf trips to pay for,

& security for every Trump spawn out there
rock & rollin' their way around the world making
money & just a makin' more money,

& once more I say unto you,
the fact this man feels the need to ****
in a golden crapper fills me with such a
sincere & deep loathing that at times I can
barely sleep.

Feed the Needy!

Of course it’s a Muslim Ban when Muslim
countries are affected & 1.5 billion folks
perceive it to be so, & you'd recently called
Giulani to ask "Muslim Ban, how can I do it?"

& of course it’s mocking the disabled
when you pull your arms to your waist
& wave your wrists & use a shaky
trembling voice while looking skyward,

& of course when you talked about the “Second
Amendment People” taking out Hillary Clinton
if she won you were talking an assassination
threat, the words are there aren’t they,

& of course it was unforgivable & beyond,
just beyond the pale where you tried to
deflect the criticism of the grieving Khan
family by insulting the silent mother from
your glorious podium,

& of course when you quipped “It’s freezing
& snowing in New York, we need global warming”
you were laying bare the intellectual wasteland
that is your mind & the threadbare grasp on vital
realities that is your worldview,

& of course when you talked of “fairly credible
sources” telling you of "Obama’s birth certificate
being a fraud" you were simply making **** up
in your fraudulent salesman mode but this time
were in way too deep by promoting this vicious
ethically void racist *******,

& of course when you said “you can never be too
greedy” you mean it with your gold crapper in
your gold bathroom, & your gold stroller, for your
golden progeny, & your huge this, & so big that,

& of course when you said of 9/11 that in Jersey
“thousands of people were cheering” you were
lying your *** off & appealing to the basest
elements of human nature of anger, revenge
& blame,

& of course when you declined to condemn David
Duke & the KKK you knew exactly what you were doing
as you put forth the trembling hand of friendship to American
White Supremacists so’s you'd let them know you were one
of them & they could count on you & please vote for me, you
were planting that evil & sordid flag weren’t you,

& of course you are unfit to govern, lack a basic intelligence,
decency, spirituality, a grasp of fundamental principles of right
& wrong, & are a con-man, a spiv, a snake-oil salesman, all
these … of course you are … & we’re stuck with you.

It's over, its done ...

American Christianity stumbles forward
toward a cruel topsy-turvy world where
help is weakness, compassion is cruelty
& divisive isolation is preferable to
welcome & concern.

American Christianity is a corpse that reeks,

a veritable Walking Dead of pink-tied
Conservatism that picks its leaders
based on a sort of simple country-boy
belief that a fat white man in a suit who
holds aloft his momma's old bible while
same the same time preaching division,
exclusiveness, hate & bigotry is somehow
the best Christian choice & God loves that
man so,

they do this,

they continue to do this,

this rural fundamental upside-down way
of seeing the worst man as the best man
just because he spouts for some phrases
& gets all blessed & such by richly dressed
ministers of the lord who anoint him as the
Chosen One, which is so far off the mark
as to leave one wondering who? who?
who are these representatives of God's
word on earth,

these shiny shoe lackeys, these fork-tongued
well-heeled sybarites closer to Lucifer's
world of consumption & the almighty dollar,

American Christianity should just call it
a day, just give over for awhile, take a
breather & read a book or two, for the
harm they cause to fall on the rest of
us through their ignorant vision is just
way, way too much for them to be able
to claim any affinity with Jesus
the humble Son of God.

I'd prefer my politicians
didn't belly laugh, chuckle
or gosh gee shucks after
proposing to deprive 24
million folks of health care
especially of course when
along with that they've
suggested huge tax benefits
for the already rich,

& I'd really prefer my politicians
to be like the president in
Uruguay who drove an old
jalopy & lived in a shack but
I guess I'm just too much of a
dreamer aren't I & for lords sake
how naive can I be?

So good with the ethics,
the caring, considerate, oh so
compassionate Christian way
of getting things done ...

the looking out for the needy,
the helping the helpless,
the following the words of
their saviour thing they've
got going on here,

its curious to say the least or just
simply stone cold hypocritical
how the political party
most mouthing out
the words of God,
most concerned with
prayers & such,

seems quite comfortable
if not , well almost gleeful,
at the prospect of a tougher,
harder life for the elderly,
the sick,
the impoverished.

Have they read the same Jesus texts as me?
Sermon on the Mount lets say,
& how is your Christianity weighed
I wonder?
God helps those who help themselves?
God pays back those who pay the preacher?
God doesn't really believe in the very idea
of 'help' in any form whatsoever?

What give Republicans?

Once more I ask this fundamental question.

Republicans, are you human?

Somebody Else's Babies ... or a poem for Steve King a Republican
Representative of our esteemed governing classes who recently
came along with another jaw-dropping piece of White Supremacist
******* ...

'Somebody else's babies'
grew up in this green &
pleasant land to go on to
fight & die in the American
War in Vietnam, & the two
unforgivable invasions of Iraq,

which is far more than you
did Steve King,
you draft-dodging,
tough-talking patriot you,

so when you next wake up
calling out 'our destiny' maybe
you'd like to visit some graveyards
& pay some respect,
you empty-headed
Republican fool,

oh & glance back through history
awhile & even cheat a bit by using
google quotes & get some sense
of who else in the history of the
20th century crowed about
'our destiny' ... you malignant
fascist you.

Calling it today!

ha! yes!
sure as heck I'm not exactly
jumping for joy in these end
days of dying planetary life,
threatened existences, starving
homeless 5 year old Mustafa's,
engaged Supremacists, murdered
black boys, hillbilly junkies, fading
healthcare, America First & talk
of 'our destiny' & ******* such,

but what am I to do?
Watch Star Trek re-runs & eat ice-cream?
America calls out to be noticed,
& heck what else can we do
but pay attention.
