A TASTE of Sensory Overload

`

We who judge from sound, public opinion court’s bench
FEEL no fascist fool, evolves into a menche
We SEE fools grab power, usurp
HEAR greedy boors pig-out, grunt, burp
SMELL fecal miasma, from such pigsty stench

Hopefully, this poetry might wake up ALL toadies,
who have yet to figure out that ALL tyrants suck!

`

`

Be kind to humankind! Keep in mind that whether vaxxed or unvaxxed, we can still shed and spread the batcrap crazy contagious coronavirus. If we ever hope to end this damned pandemic, once and for all, we’ll need to stay publicly and properly masked.

Vitriol Humorless

`

Assessing the abscessing, obsessing bloke
Why free speech rights, he plots to revoke / choke
His messed up régime’s stench is strong
He can’t fess up when he’s wrong
He’s despotic fusspot, who can’t take a joke

`

Vitreous Humor is what allows us humans to see everything clearly
Vitriol Humorless is my invented malady that VainMan suffers from
Symptomatology: dreary/daft patient can’t see life/our world clearly

Bodily tissues are badly necrotic
Brain issues spawn decrees/deeds daft – despotic
Loadsah miscues political
Due to thinking uncritical
Could some narcotic cure shut-in psychotic?

Misogynistic, egoistic, cruel coot
Parades his despotic, sadistic jackboot

Goes full blown spastic, avaristic for loot

Counting Ballots Before They’re Cast?

I’m pleased that, on such short notice and in a stunningly short time, Kamala Harris’ stump speech substance, style and optimism have been highly relatable to everyday people. As such, she’s been repeatedly outwitting nitwit Donald J. Trump; demoralizing him with her rising, stellar poll numbers.

Yet, also worthy of mention is this accompanying, nagging feeling of déjà vu.

Indeed, we have been down this campaign trail before (as in eight short years ago) when one could sense candidate Hillary Clinton practically ordering her transition team to ding-dong the White House doorbell; in hopes that some W. Bush servant would grant them early entry to measure the White House floors and windows (ya know, for that post Inauguration Day, decor makeover).

Indeed, Clinton had been misled; lulled into lethargy by her poll numbers. In essence she had been counting her ballots before they were cast.

Now, let’s be damned sure to keep it all real, here.

Be she Hillary or Kamala, it isn’t all that tough to refute / confound Donny’s dystopian, disingenuous, disrespectful (of America) screeds, tantrums, tirades and “Tweets”. I mean, typically, of late, all we’ve been hearing from that ornery cuss has been his depressing, run down drivel. And THAT, if nothing else, can only further emphasize his worsening, daily, cognitive decline.

Egads, just where the hell is the relevancy in insufferable, incompetent, indolent, insolvent Trump droning on and on and on about crowd sizes, rally goers’ early exits, sharks, Hannibal Lecter, his toilet / potty probs, etc.).

Juxtapose whatever THAT is with how, at the end of each day, we, the real people’s concerns (to name just a few) focus upon lowering the cost of living, protecting Social Security / Medicare, securing reproductive freedom, reasserting women’s overall rights / personhood, guaranteeing racial / LGBTQ equality and, last but not least, ensuring the future habitability of our planet.

Do keep in mind that sneaky l’il sh… snot Trump is conveniently hiding his malevolent Project 2025 backed plot to devolve Democracy into Despotism. The blow-back from THAT would wind up eerily similar to a big screen horror flick; where the hell raising, spine chilling, oft monstrous evildoers and/or their confederates and/or their spawn, even in defeat, can be expected to reappear in the inevitable sequels.

My message to my Stateside compatriots, don’t assume that the Kamala Harris / Tim Walz team (as well as all down ballot Democrats) are assured any easy wins.

Certainly Harris is not outta touch with such a truth; she still hath the good sense to categorize herself, indeed, all other Democrats as 2024 campaign underdogs.

So, be we lifelong Democrats OR disgruntled Republicans OR any Liberalism dabblers in between, voter turn out (on or before Tuesday, November 5th) must be so massive that each and every anti-democracy / voter suppression MAGA plot will utterly fail.

Weird Unwell Dude We Know Too Well

`

First, the poetry…

His dystopian bent paints him dark, dreary DRAB
His union busting trait taints him: the septic SCAB
His chronic tirades bare quirks; of crotchety CRAB
His golden flamboyance parades grotesque FLAB

His rapacious adulterous ‘tudes goad him to GRAB
His vile, vengeant, vehement fists flail; fail to JAB
His weirdness needs scrutiny in psychiatrists’ LAB
His butterfly net nears? Cue docs’ / copper’s NAB?

`

Next, the prose…

Why must a slew of Stateside laypersons be imposed upon to join, en masse, for the express purpose of feigning flattery towards a seriously mentally ailing, would-be dictator? At best, we could only labor towards his temporary betterment. Hell, such a quick fix might actually perpetrate / perpetuate the deeper deterioration of his yet to be diagnosed, cognitive decline.

Would it not be far more mood elevating (and cost effective, too) for that troubled tot to simply seek and (more to the point) actually heed the professional advice of his (yet to be named) bevy of benevolent shrinks? Why, bare minimum, these docs could readily write him an Rx (or 2… or 3… or more) for his lifetime supply of anti-psychotic “happy pills”.

Would not his becoming a less hostile and more happy lad make for a far merrier global society, too?

Seeing how he will resist all attempts at treating (curing?) him, our only hope is for Stateside citizens to vote for sane governance; by empowering all up and down ballot Democrats and liberally minded justices; starting with team Kamala Harris / Tim Walz!

Vote on or before Tuesday, November 5th!

Normal Harris Must Trump Weird Trump

`

Fascist Trump crept from D-C with a frown!
His coup’s goo dyed his TERM ONE fecal brown!
He should’ve been jailed! Toss the key!
Yet, still is at large! Goes scot-free!
He now seeks TERM TWO; vows to see freedom drown!

`

Parting Thoughts: With the RED ALERT’S strobe lights flashing and klaxons blasting, we, the true blue Americans, know best how to do our patriotic duty. We must show up at the polls, this fall, in numbers too massive for the WEIRD MAGA powers-that-be to suppress. We must peaceably cast our ballots for the pleasantly NORMAL Kamala Harris!

Within our limited two-party system, Harris is our ONLY hope. Together, we’ll make damned sure to resoundingly tell that totally WEIRD Donald Dolf Trump to, politically speaking, take his escalator’s downward ride to Hell; to absolutely ensure that that WEIRD narcissistic, misogynistic, fascistic bastard never gets his metaphorical (perhaps even his literal) second shot at mutating Democracy into his Project 2025’s Despotism.

A 1st Time Try Amidst Trying Times?

Daily writing prompt
What could you try for the first time?

`

Trump-45, SARS-CoV-2, CO2 and Plutonium-239 have all been doing a number on me. Hell, on us all!

It’s both sobering and unsettling how (as I am typing and you are reading these words), Dumb Donald’s despotism, the global pandemic, global warming and Vladimir Putin’s nuclear saber rattling are all playing out as the existential threats to humanity; that they are.

Suffice to say, within most critical thinkers’ minds, that quadruple whammy of woes has been playing out as the all-encompassing, emotionally draining killjoy; that it is!

So much so that, of late, there’s no way in Hell that anyone could ever find me in an especially adventurous mood. Applying my aptitude/attitude, directly, to the Daily Prompt’s Q…

“What could you try for the first time?”

Just about the only thing left for me, personally, to try. would involve planning ahead; i.e., mind melding with my attorney, Ms. F, re the easiest way to legally close out my earthly affairs. Hell, I might even try scheduling a pre-need consultation with my local mortician, Mr. R… well… um…

Were it not for Warlord Vlad’s delusions of grandeur; his DIYer fantasies re the repurposing of our entire planet into a receptacle for radioactive cremains.

There’s little reason for glass-half-full-optimism when, in actuality this is likely a glass-fully-shattered prospect; one where any 1 of those 4 above-mentioned, doomsday scenarios, individually, OR in any mathematical permutation OR as an aggregate of all four, could readily play out.

So how, pray tell, WILL all of this play out? Does humanity wind up…

  • crock pot/slow cooked into an endangered species heading for extinction?
  • Nuked/charbroiled in-one-scant-heartbeat; in a billowing mushroom cloud?
  • OR, will we TRY for the VERY FIRST TIME, to save ourselves from ourselves?

Dissing Discombobulation

`

Let’s disclose and discuss; each discouraging day
Our sense of disquiet, disgust, dispirit, dismay

We witness disaster, disease, discontent, disarray
Let’s disassemble, below, ills to dis; blow away

Spot the discordant despots; subjects can’t disobey
The fade from view, disenfranchised; who still have no say

Discrimination, discovered; that distasteful display
Disinformation, unchecked, exacts high price to pay

Dishonesty taints; stains souls in hues; dismal gray
Infrastructure’s disheveled; discolored environs’ ashtray

We must disallow, disavow, now; disown tyrants who bray
Discredit their social ills; discard ‘em; keep ‘em at bay

Both disbelievers / disciples, can dispatch life; forward sway
The former will earnestly hope; the latter will solemnly pray
