No, you're right, everything would be better if your color controlled everything . . .


Political Party Poem, Fragment 1

Stupid uneducated bigots 

Always on the wrong side of history

Betraying liberty for power 


Though to admit, we admire

The ruthless efficacy 

with which you rule 


But We could never debase to

Your particular brand of cruelty


While y'all whipped and raped

chased and chained

We welcomed those negro wretches 

with open arms 


You denied them bonds of family 

the liberation of literacy 

We bestowed them the fruits 

of slaved labor sent North 

 

It is You in red at fault 

If only you backed the right elites 

This country would know peace, 

an end to the constitutional assault 


Me?! –NO –how dare you 


I posted the #black square

I wore the kente cloth

When my daughter brings it around

I even use they/them pronouns


I fought for the Illegals, 

I told the raving morons 

when they go back to Mexico

who will keep your fridge full?


My pink pussy hat, 

framed on my wall 

next to clapping Pelosi

in the bigender bathroom stall


I was first to drive electric 

eat only pasture-raised eggs

When I travel to poor countries 

I speak their funny little words instead


What more could you want?

Are land acknowledgements not enough 

Must I kill myself 

for what my ancestors did?

Will that make you happy?



Political Party Poem, Fragment 2

lib : capitaliberalism is the

best vehicle to manage resources

minimal gov’t serves capital: con 


Catch a glinting eye  

    A spinning coin 

always landing face up 


Pointed nose

Iron collar

Devote your life

chase

Washington, Jefferson

Lincoln, Hamilton 

Jackson and Grant 

Sat atop, Franklin


Great men and leaders 

Immortalized in Green 

Lifeblood of this greatest country 


Footnoted —erased, 

     enslaved girls 

framed by the dollar 


beyond the rooms, sky clad towers 

overlooking parceled 

owned developed land, 

millions more 

growing ~cotton~

Raising children while theirs 

grow up nuffin

That’s the past, move on 

We’re tired of endless 

Victimization 


We are Free 

A global beacon for Hope

Markets and Democracy


Where all this excess comes from 

where all our trash goes 

Who cares

Who knows


So long I get my fix

Sugar, Caffeine

Dopamine

 

Children of the Slums 

be happy 

for the privilege 

to produce for me



Political Party Poem, Fragment 3

con con con 

con conservative con 

congress conservative con 


I am 

          I am 

I am

      I am 

                   Conservative! 


Salute True 

The Red White and Blue

This land of man, virtue, and value 


Bear Arms, Stand Proud 

Guard the genders we know to be Two 


through His Light 

protect the Children 

in Womb 

Abortion ok 

only post birth 

& in Exodus 12:23-32


Proud Proud Proud


To tyranny we’ll not fall

That’s why we fund 

Military 1 trillion: 

It keeps the government small

Our forefathers spat at Blue 

Our weapons are rights, not prizes

To defend our domain from police 

Which, 

         thanks to us, 

                           rapidly militarizes


Red Red Red 


We are God’s Chosen People 

Noble, Pure, Thoroughbred

Through us unfolds His Righteous Plan


Forever fund Con and Garchs 

fight their Wars, 

live their Poisons

fulfill their whims, 

             as God has said

on your Land, 

on your Backs 

til you fall Dead


But bootstraps for the children 

sat in schools 

expecting "free" bread




Political Party Poem

Postlude


Sow poison into land water, food, air, bodies Steal our home and labor, sold piecemeal to highest bidder Sustain your destructive bender At our expense If we behave, reward will come from sky The very life of this planet goes into their system Used, Abused Turned out toxic sludge
