I’m not a fool, I’m not a sap-- I won’t download your ******* app. I have a ‘puter, with a wired connection, a VPN, and some discretion. I don’t want to be tracked wherever I go. What I do, and with whom, I don’t want you to know. I’ve got encrypted email, and Signal text because I’m not sure what you’ll do next. I browse the net with Duck Duck Go, ‘cuz Google tracks wherever you go. I don’t put my face on social media cuz who knows what encyclopedia or blacklist, I’ll be listed on. Don’t take the same route at the same time of day. Be careful who’s listening to what you say. Don’t open the door to those you don’t know. Close the shades at night, and lock the doors. Do these things as a matter of course.

Dangerous Times
Lawrence Hall [email protected] Dispatches for the Colonial Office                                              To the I.C.E. Gangs           In the dock…slumped in their seats fidgeting nervously…           They seemed to be a drab assortment of mediocrities. It            seemed difficult to grasp that such men…had wielded such            monstrous power…    -William L. Shirer, *The Rise and Fall of the Third ***** p. 1142 When this is over, we will not come for you - But good and faithful servants of our laws With warrants, in uniform, in marked cars Not hiding behind masks –                                                       they will come for you

To the I.C.E. Gangs
You’re getting crushed by the boot you lick, Sent to Hell by the book you thump, Strung up by the men you defend, They don't give a **** about you. You're money, They're cunning, With a side of stupid, You've been struck by cupid.

Boot-Licker
We’re destined to be digested, By a beast, It haunts our neighborhoods, And talks through our tv screens. Well we’ll never run fast enough, We’ll never see the day where it’s fast asleep, It’ll **** your hopes and dreams to feed on the misery, It’ll **** your family no matter how you plead. Closing in, On the chase, You better choose, To Consummate, Or Congregate, Oh **** this place! We’re destined to be digested, By a beast, It haunts our neighborhoods, And talks through our tv screens. Well we’ll fight till the blood spills, We’ll find a way to cut its throat, We’ll fight our way through the beast’s guts, We’ll find our way back into home.

The Beast
Mother ****** is warm But her blisters they painfully sear Life is such in terror America The police state of all that I fear A schoolyard where bully's rule is taught And some sick ****** people with pit-bull power to flaunt Our peace Is by the heel of the boot A piece of our leather clenched fist Your rights have no might Whatsoever When your name We put it down on our list Mother ****** is warm Yet coldly she icily sneers I'm your terror America The police state in the nightmares of your fears. -R. TX (06)

B.E.A.S.T.
[Police were called to a New Jersey school after a student accused another student of racism for calling brownies brownies. In defense of the police no one was arrested] Brownies are sweet, tasty and brown, but New Jersey’s schools hear this with a frown. Color’s off color, don’t you know-- mention it, and the Thought Police will have you in tow. Blondies are sweet and a bit greasy-- a tasty snack, not a girl who’s easy. But better call them cake, or you’ll be dissed as someone who is completely sex-ist. Anything you say can and will be held against you-- mot just by the cops, but by those you thought you knew. It’s the days of Stalin, or “1984” from Orwell; better watch what you say; they might be listening in the stairwell. Once we all worshipped the First Amendment. Now "politically correct" has gone beyond heavy-handed. Use only approved phrases, or outcast will be your fate-- Political Correctness destroyed a country once great.
