Drink the Kool-Aid

Chug-a-lug, Chug-a-lug – no matter the fly in our President's mug, the bug in his thinking...my reflecting on his ailing brain, and it's obvious volume shrinking: Those mindless, confusing rants, Bidden juices-up; Psaki, drinking without blinking – regurgitating at deceptive White House briefings – propaganda validated by shameless, would-be reporters, were it not for their obvious conscription – their sacrificial genuflecting, having sold their souls to the Golden Calf of Soros wealth and tyrannical influence – For Progressive compliance – securing her high place of worship in a Marxist, Totalitarian Kingdom – Pelosi suggesting free ice-cream be given to all, in place of Tried-And-True, Good Old, American Freedom –

I've had many similar thoughts I liked reading this poem. I do believe that free ice cream for the masses requires free freezers to keep it in. And of course, that means more electricity. Nice going.

Sad that our division is prevalent in poetry as well. I always experience the expression of poetry as cathartic and I assume this was for you here.

Was more so even years ago, often poets the voice for disgruntled populations, oppressed by kings, popes and barbarian dictators. I wish things were different. The greatest prose poetry ever written, the bible, is very much about such abuse and heartache. Blessings my friend.

Sad how politicians, on both sides of the US aisle, are voted in by the people, and then proceed to immediately make a kingdom for themselves.

a nice romp stomping Blue Necks...people who have no grasp of history, economics, and for sure logic and reason....they blame Columbus when the reality is that war, land grabs, slavery, child sacrifice, tribal wars exited long before Columbus and the Spanish in Mexico as well as South America were aided by Tribes that had had enough of Aztecs and Incas...and were typical dummies in trading master for master

was studying Walt Whitman today and he would heartily agree with you...the basics are we are all human and subject to frailties....let's end the accusing and remember that, moving forward, those who live in the past have no future...

Thank you, Tim, for a very wise and perceptive comment. The negatives we see in society, which are present, to some extent throughout all cultures and governments, are deeply seated in the human psyche and soul -- if there is blame, we all have stock in it...along with the cure. Blessings my friend.

congrats Joe; i found this poem in the POTD list. Yes, GEORGE may buy his way on earth ... but America was CHOSEN for efforts at more and more democracy. I add, the Jewish minority produces the right kind of hero ... it did in the last 120 years. shalom, shalom

Congratulations on your POTD Joe. It is amazing that with protests all over the globe, none to my knowledge were seen on our main stream news stations. I would say why? This is big news. Here is a link that shows the many thousands who took to the streets globally to protest. https://www.facebook.com/581881721/videos/430811278619230/

I have to agree with Milton. If you want to write a poem about inflation or the disaster at the border with thoughts that are clever and new... go ahead. But personal attacks on people whether it's Trump or Biden... should never be POTD. This poem offers nothing clever or amusing... It's just mean. Joe... you are better than this. Have a great day.

I need to let it be known that I am thoroughly against administration making political tirades P.O.T.D. The poet has a right to his opinion, but this piece of writing is not at all P.O.T.D. quality, period. Shameful!

That’s the second time you have called me Keith. Is that an in-joke or some sort of code? I don’t get it, is that a dogwhistle? What am I missing? I think I shall call you Jabba the Hutt ‘cause that’s who you remind me of. I don’t anticipate you and I will have much contact in the future so let’s just agree to disagree.

No one needs to know what your position is on “political tirades” as you call it. Keep your “shameful” comment to yourself. Just because you don’t agree doesn’t make you the arbiter of good taste. I did some checking and you seem okay with it when our former President is the one being pilloried.

Hi Alexis -- Oh were it so! I hear you, but this is important – too important for the soul of humanity to ignore, separate out from all our daily endeavors. While censorship is needed in society, I do believe, for art it can be wrong. I'd like to thank Soup for allowing this conversation. Blessings. There are artists trapped by Totalitarian Regimes around the globe, forced to create and hide their art in dark basements and caves, always fearing discovery and persecution. This is for them...as well as our future selves.

Ooh, I just heard that Nancy P's selling her oversize gavel on E-Bay for $1B to Hilary Clinton, and that Nancy's been fitted for oversized hand-claws. lol. Congrats on POTD, Joe, I mean -- Komrade Yosif! ~ Executioner Volkov

Wow, what a gem to wake up to. I love this because it's so real and so true. America has finally come to the same conclusion. Unfortunately as you can see already in comments there are some who not only always drink the kool-aid but swim in it. Great write and thanks for restoring my faith in this site. I was beginning to wonder if it was for me.
