A Poetic Polemic

In a Pandemic!

Who could imagine a worse endeavor?

Only the schizophrenic

Shalt such misery cause one to believe in the Prophetic?

Do not give me the straight news Pal!

I much prefer my own views

Tis my emotional bonds I will not sever!

 

I will not subscribe to your factual report Sir!

My beloved beliefs are much more clever!

Too Late Is The Corona-Virus Fate of America

Many in the Trump Cult do not want to deal with the art of their Dear Leader’s downplaying, denial, and general incompetence in the Corona-Virus Pandemic Government Health policy area

Cabinet members, scientists, actors, oil men, doctors, lawyers, business owners, health and safety officials, police officers, firefighters, and political benefactors?

 

Preferring, as usual, ad-nauseum to claim it is all Anti-Trump political hysteria (Surprised?)

 

The Presidential Brand of Trumpism revels in the Chief Petty Officer’s Anti-Politician Political games

You cannot be considered Loyal if you assign to the White House any tidbit of government blame

 

Transparency, accountability, and disseminating accurate information are of the utmost importance in all government response to its Citizen’s overall well-being

 

Instead we have been given a Democrat hoax

Comparisons to the seasonal flu

Downplaying of the virus severity

Protection of the Stock Market

Reliance on unproven medications

Lack of immediate and sustained testing

False pronouncements

Absence of contact tracing

Shortfall of critical medical supplies

Unwillingness to fully utilize the President’s powers to compel private companies to manufacture these medical supplies

Reliance on a haphazard Invisible Hand of Price Gougers Procurement for State Governors to navigate to get these medical supplies

And always and consistently every decision three steps

 

Too late in lieu

It is not enough

To just make an appearance

At the Trump Presidential Briefing

 

One message has and will remain the same

It is up to YOU now

To decide your fate

Nobody likes my poems!

Too dark and gloomy

I wanted to make them blooming and roomy!

As the scent of a rich man’s perfume

An ode to the Poor and Working Class

Truly!

With the ideas that consume me

A warning to the Free Market Frankenstein Polite Society!

To create a better world of economic

Social

And political opportunities

So sue me!

Making It Through Safely Each Corona-Virus Day

Lets stop spreading false information and downplaying the severity of this virus

Be accountable and honest

When our Leaders have made mistakes

Lets have forthright dialogue

In lieu of Happy Talk

The goal is to keep Americans safe

We must be truthful about the pandemic they face

Otherwise we will put more people in harms way

Lead them into the hospitals

To endanger our brave medical personnel

Who are seriously under-equipped

In the perilous life-saving fray

This is not about re-electing the President

For many people in harms way

It is about making it thru safely

Each Corona-Virus day

 

The Progressive American Vision

The Progressive American Vision

Which is always met

With an ad-hoc competitive revulsion!

In these Days of Corona Virus Pandemic

Must be up for revision

All Americans can plainly see The Wisdom

In a Medicare For All Congressional Decision

As well as helping all Americans

Especially the poor and precarious working class

Take care of their Food

Water

Housing

Education

And medical dental and vision provisions

As well as having some working class say so

In the daily grind of the toiling millions

Imagine Citizens

Imagine Citizens

With Universal Health Care

Education

Housing

Food and Drink

More Schools instead of the Clinks!

As part of our everyday social civic business

No more need for War Resistance!

Now we are firing society on all pistons!

With collective consciousness driving the public diligence

Persistence! Persistence!

Leads the way out

Of the Neo-liberal economic oligarch and corporate-run sway

Celebrity Billionaire and Consumer attaches!

Into modern day existence

The Gaslighter and The Contagion

Where are the tests?

The masks?

Was not the Federal Government aghast?

The breathing machines?

The Coronavirus mass preparation?

The federally coordinated response undertaken as serious and with a determined desperation?

President Trump spent a WHOLE MONTH after the travel ban of China

Doing nothing?

Disparaging the Covid-19 airborne disease in rallies and television appearances

As Fake News!

A Democrat politicians instituted medical hype and prevarication!

Assuring the American public there would be no downward StocK Market gyrations?

Driven by a concern seemly more for his re-election prospects

Than for doctors, nurses, health-care professionals

And their burgeoning exploding American diaspora

Of sickly struggling to breathe patients

People of every political stripe
Have been let down by the American President

Amid his gas-lighting of a pandemic contagion

The Ruling Class Reconstituted Veep and The Revenge of Citizen Sheep

It ain’t about beating Trump
It is about getting working class and poor economic policies

Off the campaign stump
And delivered at the front door

The Democratic Party Elite
Believe they can cannibalize

Bernie Sanders and his supporters

Then go back out on Wall Street

And we will provide our voting support

As if we survive solely on “Moderate” Happy Talk

Scene as The Green Grass Grazing Consumer Sheep

Comment on Israeli genocide against innocent Palestinian children

And you will take away our Freedom of Speech?

Progressives will be biding our time

NOT voting for Sleepy/ Sloppy Genocidal Joe

Let the voters who made The Establishment’s bed

Be once again trounced at the ballot box

And put to an early Election Night sleep!

The return of The Malevolent One 45!

Might engender more future protests for the working class and poor to fight for and keep!

You cannot take down the mendacious Wolf!

With a Ruling Class Israeli puppet proper-ganderizing Reconstituted De-energized former Obama Veep

Supported by Senators Joe Mansion and Cursed Sinema!

Time for Free Market Frankenstein Monster Society political retreat!

 Leave it to The Democrat-Republican corporate cohort congealed economic social and political – more arms to Ukraine + Israel Zionist genocide in Gaza in lieu of Medicare For All + scant domestic feats – fete-a-fete

Cornel West is on the better quest

Whilst President Biden is looking to go down with Netanyahu in political defeat

The Moderate Democrat Presidential Candidate Flute

Damn you Sir!

You speak Bernie Sanders-esque unvarnished truth!

On the Corporate and Elite Free Market Frankenstein Society Brutes

Who write the critically acclaimed sheet music

Of the banal harmony and unity sing-song

No more poor and working class blues resolute!

 

Playing on the campaign airwaves

With such earnesty!

 

These Recurring Odes!

To my humble workers’ bare-bones rodent and insect pestilence filled abode

Tap dancing with unclean water and a problematic commode

 

What shalt they furnish me?

In the way of toilers economic policies?

 

Sweet intoxicating fatuous vote-getting Election Night music!

Wafting artfully from the Moderate Democrat Presidential candidate flute!
