Fear runs like blood from a boxer,
ankle deep and climbing
Tangled rose garden mystery,
poison ivy’s climbing
Vote charmers, old boy picnics,
coleslaw and creation
Rebel flags, riverboat gamblers,
gun shop slaves
Orwellian scams, con man karma,
Deja vu all over again
Reincarnated voters, T.V. ballots,
survey says?
Opioid states in medicated comas,
hypnotized and falling
Destruction as distraction, mother of all lies,
killing as cover up
Stupidity with pride, comfortably dumb,
ignorance as religion
God, guts, guns, preachers in red,
ball caps as hoods
Hate burns in barbwire and bigots,
neck deep and hanging
Flying on west wing airways,
pray for lightening
