Omnipresent lurch toward authoritarianism...

The views and opinions herewith extemporized to spur discourse with me, or to be mindful when exercising the right to vote in the country of your existence, which expressed intimation predicated upon read reliable publications such as Mother Jones, Smithsonian Magazine, The Nation, The Week, and TIME Magazine, which trustworthy and reputable sources of information brought to the fore of me noggin an alarming concern for those who consider themselves liberal Democrats, Libertarians and even moderate Republicans aware of avast conglomeration of bullies hell bent on usurping power upon self aggrandizement, or exploitative foreign policy necessitating the need for courageous actions witnessing demagogic control over the inalienable rights inherent in all species to thrive to the limits of their potential unviolated, unmolested, and unharmed.

Omnipresent lurch toward authoritarianism...


not only self evident
across these United States of America,
but also prophetic throughout
the developed nations
of the webbed wide world
threatens progressive states' rights
linkedin to the former -
purported best western country
potentially upending hard fought freedoms
of nascent life, liberty


and the pursuit of happiness
manifesting invisible hand,
where secular humanism
throve against patriarchal churchly dictates
early in American history,
where radicals of the day
destined to stamp out blind faith
courtesy antithetical, heretical,
and parenthetical () proud zealots
awash with indignation


(causing more than indigestion) against
analogous strait jacket
inhibiting once noble savage,
whose inchoate acquisition of cognition,
and subsequent recognition,
where donned liberals of the day
trumpeted sedition visa vis
fancying, discovering, and broadcasting
idea promoting innovative
socially mediated shutter flying,


twittering, tick tocking contract
where biblical ethos did captcha

cannibalistic, fatalistic, immoralistic
fifty bajillion shades of gray matter
as eminent domain
established Judeo-Christian paradigm
across then global realm,
which mindset promulgated hegemony
quashing nativist bred beliefs
violently lashing, teeth gnashing,


saber flashing clashing, et cetera

with awakening enlightenment
Yes (Blue Oyster Cult)

initially fomented Mötley Crüe
dead set upon imposing might as right
stifling pockets of

surprisingly strong resistance
fostering eventual seeds of dissent
countless times sparking renegade
to spill figurative beans

 

to iron maiden adversary

fielding winning outcome

to totalitarian potentate,

nevertheless intermittent feeble mutiny arose

quickly jump/kick starting disguised claque

to depose the loathsome enemy
intent to extinguish belligerent autocrat,

who forcefully usurped dominance

slaying population of primitive peoples

brutally forcing young

 

abducted fecund females

to beget progeny populating domain

courtesy nasty, ruthless vainglorious warlords

wreaking mayhem and bedlam

in an angry bird like effort

to create opportunistic scenario

for successful invasion

of the body snatchers,
particularly at the helm

guiding analogous ship of state

 

one oafish outsize, and portly

self proclaimed führer of sought after reich
ideally bloviated, inerbriated, and venerated

over stuffed ego freezer

donning his spiffy, haughty, doughy body
sporting noggin atop which sits

trademark hirsute orange mop top
inciting the capital one furious mob

(poised and pregnant

metaphorically like tightly coiled tension

 

able, eager, ready, and willing

just impatiently waiting proper cue to strike

like stormy Daniels)
at the mercy of their commander

leading his ragtag army in battle
imagine dragons bellowing fiery ejaculations

where amidst the pandemonium

militaristic troops unwittingly
hold entire country hostage at gunpoint

no exit (stage door left)

 

nor escape for any unfortunate

soon to become prisoner

seeking soul asylum,
an impossible mission
(even for one as adept as Peter Graves)

caught in the figurative and literal maws

of long planned coup d'état
fascistic die hard armed force
encircling the seat of government

miles beyond the outer limits


of the concertina wired zone,

where dark shadows

hover signalling a severe thunderous storm

analogous to perpetual edge of night
obscuring the sheltering sky

depicting deafening soundcloud
and the final gasping exhalations
of chastened democracy.

    Yep - and where America goes, the rest of the Anglophone nations in particular follow.

    Terrifying.
