Political expression ... satire
Ephesians 6:12 New English Translation (NET Bible)
12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers,
against the world rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavens.
Satire
Where to go? I am at a stand-still
What to write and make some sense?
How to speed-up going uphill?
I’m out of gas and feeling tense
I prefer to go slowly downhill
Like most around me seem to do?
Where in the valley is bellyaching
And be addicted to a continues drool
“Join the club” reads the banner
“Become like us” the popular song
Liberality fills the uncharted chorus
As they want obedient to come along
“Don’t you worry” we’ll do the thinking
Just join and follow in our joyful parade
You don’t have what it takes to go by self
As you seem to swallow just lemonade
Puffy Joe and empty John lead at the beginning
Fancy and her cohorts are following in hollow step
All groggy and doped up by self-importance
Representing folks with the phrase: “Inept”
Speak only well about the dead
Say nice things about politicians
Although they departed long ago
Into the embrace of some morticians
As words still tumble out of their being
Why should we expect the sensible?
Why not ignore them altogether?
Their emptiness seems unpreventable
They treat us like we are the zombies
Like we’re like them “the walking dead”
I know “my rights”, they always whisper
As they try to crawl in my head and bed
They toot their horns or saxophones
The noise pollution close to unbearably
With both hands grab for the microphone
To instigate behavior truly deplorably
The time goes on. I’m at a standstill
The parade of fate moves slowly by
All the pre-formed disparate faces
Have no clue and I wonder why?
I wish they all retired in Dubai
Building castle of dry sand
They would never run out of work
In that far away desert land
Tooting their horns close to Iran
With their leaders on their asses
And with a joy-ride to relax in haste
with their greed as time slowly passes
As time goes on and also their wives
Chewing the cud without swallowing
Yep we are really eight years in for it
If she gets in first with all her following
Long live the queen of darkness
Well only here in the temporal
Let her do the damage very well
Toward the end of the story’s moral
