Our Stand

By Cliff Lake

 

Our Stand

 

And how do we sit idly by,

Waiting for the system,

To readjust to actual equality?

How do we watch the law fail fully,

And always on the side

Of the corporate entity?

We don’t want to.

We don’t have to.

It’s time to stand up, brother.

It’s time to get up, sister.

Because we don’t have to stand for it.

 

The ivory towers

Are full of the decay

Of the dream enshrined,

Then bought and sold,

By the least thoughtful among us.

Jackals they are,

Feeding on spoils,

We make for them,

Leaving bare bone,

We quarrel over among ourselves,

While they grow fat,

Never knowing they are the disease,

Spoiling the garden

We are all dying in.

 

AWAKE!

See them as the crime,

And the criminals they are!

The canker on the side of the billions,

Crying of their hunger,

Their desire of peace and plenty,

Withheld by those who will not share,

What they have too much of,

And do not appreciate.

We are the billions.

What will they do,

If they are overrun?

What can they do,

If we stand as one body,

One force,

One mind?

Will you stand?

We must stand,

Or continue to fall.

Stand.

Stand!

We must stand!

But...

By Cliff Lake
  But…   The Russians blew up a dam, The U.S. East Coast got smoked. I remembered to do my laundry today, But Donald John Trump is a traitor.   Marjorie couldn’t stop making up conspiracies. Gym couldn’t remember how the law works. The Red Sox took 2 out of 3 at Yankee Stadium, But Donald John Trump is a traitor.   Traitor is as traitor does, And traitor did 37 times. Traitor is what he is because, Traitor did 37 crimes… So far…   Lindsey couldn’t get the brown off his nose, Junior couldn’t stop waving his hands around. I made a soup from scratch tonight, But Donald John Trump is a traitor.   Lauren Boebert is dating a Muppet, Kevin McCarthy can’t find his balls. I may have had one too many coffees today, But Donald John Trump is a traitor.   Traitor is as traitor does, And traitor did 37 times. Traitor is what he is because, Traitor did 37 crimes… So far… Traitor did and traitor hid, Does he hear the closing bell chim

House of Shame

By Cliff Lake
  House of Shame   Marjorie Taylor Greene on the house floor. Marjorie Taylor Greene thinks she scored a score. Marjorie Taylor Greene goes for revenge porn. Marjorie Taylor Greene is deserving of our scorn.   A representative that hasn’t any ethics, A Georgian without any shame. A Republican without any morals: Marjorie Taylor Greene is her name.   See the investigation go sideways, See the House GOP go rude. See them opt for the desperation plays, See them still hungering after nudes.   These representatives haven’t any honor, These Republicans are our shame, The House GOP sinking into depravity, Kevin McCarthy is to blame.   Now these representatives deep into their clown show, A laptop still proving no crime. Pornography out on the House floor, Only shows the GOP slime.   House GOP sold their integrity. House GOP invested in shame. Marjorie sinking lower than sewage, House GOP going down in flames.   These representati

Saturday in Magadonia

By Cliff Lake
  Saturday in Magadonia   The red hat doesn’t quite cover The thinning strands: Evidence of a failing virility He attempts to reclaim With misspelled invective And preposterous concoctions too dear. His device promises a future Free of all the wrong types, But the rainbows will not let him be. Blue and yellow flags proliferate, Hillary smiles smugly And damning tapes appear To end the crime family Only to blow away like smoke. Pillow-men make claims Promising evidence They never have. He salves the wounds with pictures That make claims he hasn’t written, That prove something Not entirely clear: Petty poisons. He accesses his account for the rage fix, An entertainment not allowed in public, Because being an asshole is frowned upon; Proof that they are the fascists. He is confronted with posts Unaddressed to him, Yet assault him with facts. His idol, a man of some few missteps, Must now meet consequences Unfairly applied t
