Das Furer Trumpeting Totalitarian Triumph

rew4er2nail

Call me a pacifist activist deploring insanity of war,

never a Fitbit moon-unit soldier of military industrial

complex, this articulate baby boomer verily stupefied,

openmouthed, dumbfounded at inane ill logic to send

best and brightest, or even those boasting commend

able faculties of body, mind, and spirit (tracing a long

jagged genealogical line harkening millenniums 'pon

fighting for king crimson ransom (demarcating advent

of civilization aggregating en mass), and subsequent

dawn of internecine killing fields.

 

*******************************************

Dictators topple puppet regimes wobbling

viz falling dominoes crumbling tombstones

roaming contemporary caesars fiddle

Nero foo fighters kindle burning desire

donned gawd father issues hut two, three, four...

tramping grapes of wrath

lady liberty fruited plain laid waste,

raped, pillaged defrocked

inalienable rights: pursuit of happiness

life, liberty sabotaged

dough bro’s rank and file grunts

groom thinly veil unbridled guise

coup d'etat usurp democracy

constitution left in tatters

scattershot blitzkrieg genocide scored

martial fife and corporeal

contraband taps out air

key ping deign nasty up magnificently arrayed

highland manor soldiers

bouzouki plucking

troubadour looting accompanies

autocratic regime firebrand

dons singular purpose

affixes emergency legislation suspended

emergency moratorium stifles government

abrogates presidential elections

sanctioned covenants blithely overthrown

social media linkedin commoners coalescence

jackbooted oppressive thugs click heels

protestation meted with truncheon

tear gas canisters, pistol whip, pepper sprayed

defiant demonstrators fold

resurgent subsequent twittering uber vent

facebook, instagram, snapchat recruit


communal cascade brave combat gear

buttressed fighting force feckless fealty

(take knee) pledge allegiance furnish salvo

civilian guerillas unexpected tea and sympathy

reinforcements salvo nsync with lockstep march

coup d'etat spontaneous mission

unite dead reckoning sites unwaveringly

"FAKE" feint obeisance

flaunts commander in chief

freedom fighters fabricate "witch hunt"

megaphone blares while POTUS

perfumed, manicured, coiffed

particularly pleased popinjay puzzled

barreling madding crowd spurs surrender

presidential incumbency abridged

ousted apprenticed commander in chief

imprisoned under house arrest.
