in this insane game played
by well-dressed lunatics
there will be no winner
champions will be
the nutcases swaddled
in dirty diapers
who madly hit the
rubber walls of their cells
the yellow haired one
inventor of fake news
beats democracy to death
with deception and lies
while his co-conspirators
bury their heads in sand
it will all go away
looking down on this stupidity
even the Gods are laughing
our laughter has been taken away
replaced by anger and fear
and they keep on dying
in overcrowded wards
they too thought it
would all go away
they implicitly trusted the
yellow haired one’s promises
idiots leading the blind
maybe, just maybe,
some time in the future
we will have something
to laugh about
once more

Thanks blueledge, and you hit the nail on the head with your comment!
A fine write Fred.
Thanks orchi!
Sad message for tragic times.... but smile, cos soon theres' going to be fun when that blonde haired one loses his special status and gets dragged through the courts.
Could you imagine him doing stir LOL.
Thanks da, the really sad thing is that if I would have done what he did, I would be in jail already!
I sincerely hope there is eventually some justice and the yellow haired, yellow streaked one gets his comeuppance ....... the problem of course has always been that money talks and the yellow haired narcissist has a lot of it .................... I'm firmly in your corner though & keeping my fingers crossed .........
Thanks Neville, well said! See my answer to d a.
write on mate ...
Yellow haired, yellow livered and yet so many can't see it and that thought is the most worrying.
Thanks for your comment Michael, always appreciated, and you are right. Hopefully he will ride into the sunset now, better yet, fall off the edge of the world.
So true, we too have a yellow haired idiot in the UK.
Andy
Thanks Andy, do you think it has to do with the color of the hair? Next time maybe we should get a bald one.
ha!
'the yellow haired one

what an apt summary of the last four years in US and UK politics (wait, how long has it been for Boris? I'm a Londoner so I feel like I have had him belittling my existence for an eternity, already...)
what an impassioned write of insightful social commentary you've penned
Thanks so much L.B., I do appreciate your comment. These are troubling times, but once you hit bottom, it can only get better.
