De Cultu Abraham

De Cultu Abraham

“Federal overreach is tyranny!
Plus, Lincoln was the greatest president!”
With such self-contradictions they’re content,
The dimbulb loudmouths of the GOP.
They’ll tell you that they ended slavery—
And then wail that the leftists won’t relent
From pushing ever-bigger government.
The goofiness seems obvious to me—
But mindless hold-the-line Republicans
Cannot detect it with a microscope.
They’d hang themselves for non-existent sins
If only Abe provided them the rope.
Though gone, the Great Emancipator wins!
That they’ll escape his cult I have no hope.

Message Failure

Message Failure

(in memoriam David Koresh, d. 19 April 1993)

You had a message from Almighty God.
They wouldn’t listen, and they didn’t care.
All they could see in you was someone odd—
Someone at whom normality must stare
In disbelief: a freak, a waste of air,
A pervert, and etcetera forever.
For you a few more days they couldn’t spare.
Negotiation proved a vain endeavor.
Their next move was in their view cool and clever:
They sent the tanks in, set fire to the gas.
Your line to God they thought that they could sever.
“Hey, we’re the FBI! And we kick ass!”
For all the children slain they were not liable:
Either you were to blame – or else the Bible.

Afterbirth of a New Nation

Afterbirth of a New Nation

The nation Mr. Lincoln longed to build
is here — and it’s not quite as he intended.
The independent-minded have been killed,
but the development proved open-ended
of points to be promoted and defended
against the challenges of those in gray.
Amendments have been endlessly amended.
The highest Yankee value? Being gay.
But wait! Today mere gayness is passé.
Enabled, genders keep on multiplying.
From standards of the past it pays to stray.
The march of mindlessness brooks no denying.
Wherever Judgment may have parked his butt,
Lincoln now wishes he’d worn butternut.

Myth of the Righteous Cause

Myth of the Righteous Cause

The propaganda started right away–
and Yankees who held fortunes from the sale
of slaves were claiming sainthood every day
because the South was beaten. What a tale
those liars would go on to tell! “The wail
of Negroes down in Dixie moved our hearts.
Our Glory-Hallelujahs in the mail,
coupled with Mr. Lincoln’s strength and smarts,
defeated evil. Then we pushed the arts
of peace and justice… justice, yes, and peace!
Heroes made millions in our plunder-marts.
The government knew infinite increase.
Ours was a great and righteous cause, you see–
and afterwards, behold, those blacks were free!”

Well Prepared

Well Prepared

Russia? China? I’m worried as hell
about them. My dread’s too deep to tell.
For security’s sake,
will my government take
both my balls and my firearms? Oh, well….

Childrearing Hero for the Ages

A Childrearing Hero for the Ages

Oh, no! The parents didn’t do a thing!
Grandfather Pharisee was all-in-all.
And now he feels ingratitude’s sharp sting.
Oh, no: the parents didn’t do a thing
To raise the child. Lord Pharisee was king
And priest and prophet – as you will recall.
Oh, no. The parents didn’t do a thing.
Grandfather Pharisee was all-in-all.

Old Marse Robert Samples Aleksandr Dugin’s Vodka and Finds It Good

Old Marse Robert Samples Aleksandr Dugin’s Vodka and Finds It Good

“Aggressive abroad and despotic at home.”

The unipolar world is at an end—
Which suits me fine. The Yankees went too far,
As Yankees always go. Now they descend.
I’m watching their imaginary star
Plummet. The tortured earth it’s sure to scar
Again – a sort of global spouse abuse.
But keep the victim handcuffed? No cigar.
Expecting that, the Yankees prove obtuse
Beyond their former measure. Fast and loose
They’ve played since 1860. For a while,
It served them well. But now, neck in the noose,
Their empire will be throttled, and in style.
And all of the disasters that we see?
Predicted by the Last of Heroes, Lee.

COVID 19 2.0

COVID 19 2.0

Monkeypox will be everywhere soon.
Mitigation will follow – a boon
To the global elites
Who accept no defeats.
We’ll all act out their scripted cartoon.

Primate Devolution

Primate Devolution

The NATO bio-labs in far Ukraine,
If monkeypox impends, won’t make the news.
Those Russkies will inform the world in vain.
They will not make a dent when they accuse
The West of a proclivity to use
Proxies when doing truly naughty things.
What? View the facts? We’ll utterly refuse!
We’ll know the peace that idiocy brings.
The twerps who govern us will live like kings
Forever as they piss on heads like ours.
We’ll sing the song that every coward sings
And grant those pricks extraordinary powers.
We’ll return to the same old servile box
Because we dread the lower primate pox.

Send the Order Out

Send the Order Out

When Pfizer sends the order out,
The CDC – and we – comply
And dare not utter any doubt.
When Pfizer sends the order out,
Big Pharma groupies scream and shout
And sing, repeating every lie.
When Pfizer sends the order out,
The CDC and we comply!
