Cluster bombs of ‘alternative facts …’ Stampeding
Lies televised from lips of an iron-domed dunce—
Never tiring of lying … Versus bumbling, mumbling,
Curmudgeon making February 30th postmarked promises

See-thru Third Reich robes, like White Supreme Courtesans,
Two cruel and unusual ghouls—multibillionaire tools—
Trap and strap US in high-chairs— force-feeding us
Shovel-sized soundbites of elephant excrement/donkey dung

Another fossil-fueled, War House, charlatan chat, spewing
White phosphorus propaganda. Another Wall Street warlord-loved
Bull session. Another diatribe hoping to live rent-free in our heads;
Disregarding needs of The People

Another Pentagon pimp/War-profiteer pow-wow. Another War
Criminal confab. Another bomb, missile, drone, shell-shipping
Session. Another Hospital-razing, home-flattening, animal/elder-
Charring caucus rechristening children: “Collateral Damage …”

Another golden shower from fiscal cliffs of Capitalist Hill.
Another assurance trickle down works! And “The economy
is strong!”… Another ‘debt ceiling’ for
Tent and car sleeper cells … encampments and co-workers

Another forty-eight hours … And D.C. sun lifts itself like
Peoples’ Power writ large and lovely!

It’s the Poor Peoples’ Campaign in Million Worker March garb
Exuding Occupy- George Floyd Summer- Striketober- Arab
Spring-March On Washington
Energy

Reminding us:
Robust, multiple movements, militant millions-strong are Our
Wind; Our sun; Our water; for iridescent futures … We dare
Dream …
