day NINE HUNDRED and FORTY TWO


No Resistance, No Thoughts of Their Own

It’s pure masochism,
watching talking bobble heads
on Sunday morning t.v. news shows,
hearing debates on whether
Individual No. 1 is racist
or just deflecting public attention
from impending impeachment.

Moscow Mitch and his lock-step clique
of corrupt GOP clones
can be counted on to parrot
the party line as dictated
by Sean Hannity and Faux News,
red meat to his ravening pack,
whatever distraction is necessary
to redirect outrage onto a new target.

This is how democracy falls.
