Mango Mussolini

Watching the news with a Certain sense of urgency All this misinformation And repetitive monotony Are they just the Manifestations Of your depravity As your social life Drifts on past It’s firewood Do you really believe you’re Just misunderstood ? It’s a pretty odd situation You’ve gotten yourself into Did you think we wouldn’t see through ? See through See through it Your complacency? You cover your face Cover your face Cover your face Your face It’s a courtesy Your mask has become your new reality The mask of common sense You swore to provide for the common defense The mask The mask The mask of pretense It’s a pretense Your only pretending Pre tend ing Pre tend ing Pre tend ing to care. When will you be aware Of your misogyny ? Must be part Of your heredity Heredity How will you secure the blessings of Liberty ? For yourself and your posterity Will you change your mind Will you be willing to find That perfect balance of Protection and Projection Projectionist Welcome to the world of self doubt And mental agony Is this self destruction ? Or just hallucination ? Whose gonna provide the remedy ? Remedy Remedy The Rem Ed y The Mango Mussolini Left the rest of us To find Need to find Need to find Some Pos I tive Energy energy.

Wow, thank you! I imagine anyone "professional" would be a treat. Meanwhile up here, we have a minority government that is working astonishingly well. Unpresidented. Usually they are the "ok when's the election being called" government.

Don’t want to give anyone a false impression. I am a Democrat, but I am tired of the divisiveness ! I think we will all be happier with a more professional administration whether it be Democrat OR Republican.

Thank you Maureen ! I try not to be offensive to my brother and sister Republicans, but such a repugnant nature can not be overlooked . I must say I am so very impressed with your poetry. YOU are a fabulous writer.
