Another day another shooting another young life ends in death
Onlookers peek from windows and doorways as a young child draws her last breath
Fifty years ago Elvis Presley sang about an angry young man who lays down in the street and dies
And as a crowd gathers round his mama cries
Fifty years later the cries of anguish are still heard
The murders are numerous, so many atrocities the crimes become blurred
Today the perfectly coiffed news reporter stands at the scene trying to emphasize society’s decay
But it’s just the daily shooting and the public has become blase
This wasn’t a white cop involved in the fatality
So the standard interview with the neighborhood leaders is just a formality
The protests, rioting and looting will have to wait for another time
Because this was a gang related random act and somehow that’s not as much of a crime
It’s a black thing, you people on the outside just don’t understand
So to combat this senseless violence the call is for the police to disband
We may not understand but we’re sickened by the pools of blood on the sidewalk
And the forensics teams drawing tiny victim’s outlines in chalk
Oh, the mayor will form a committee to study this area’s depravation
And will issue a stern warning to gang members in a wordy proclamation
Just as a another little casket is lowered into the ground under cloudy skies
As a silent group of mourners stand ashen faced while another mother cries
For those that don’t know Gatorland is an old school Florida attraction
The main show involves a man leaning over a pool of hungry gators holding a chicken having faith in his reaction
The alligators come about five feet out of the water to snap up the whole fryer
The man on the platform is held in place by a thick leather strap should a body part the jaws acquire
Chomp
In today’s uncertain times I feel like it’s my butt hanging over the lagoon
Venture out for any purpose and the cancel culture is there to rip you apart and leave body parts strewn
Join the movement, protest and destruct while hiding behind Black Lives Matter
Or be labeled a white supremacist and the movement serves your head on a platter
You’re be required to love all as you would kinfolk
Anything different, mayhem and violence you’ll provoke
It’s of little consequence the person you’re to love is a callous lawbreaker
Unable to hold an entry level job, contributing nothing, paying no taxes, only a welfare taker
The elected pearl clutchers caved into the demands of the angry masses
They shouldn’t have been surprised by crowd size as it gave the unskilled a reason to get off their asses
The everyday workers will bear the brunt of the demands in huge tax increases
They’ve been grinding it out for thirty years now sadly watching as their golden years savings potential decreases
Chomp Chomp
Meanwhile the news media is having a field day with the pandemic updates
Warnings scroll across the screen as new hot spots spread across the states
The dubious expert first advises to not worry about wearing a mask
Two weeks later he’s changed his tune wear one now. So why now? You’re not allowed to ask
They’re the authority, their invented title and pompous attitude says so
And since the public are gullible sheep and unable to think they’ll talk real slow
Keeping a low profile is the order of the day
Shop quietly, tend to medical needs then stay at home out of harm’s way
With the mostly vacant streets the protesters are now free to congregate and make their stand
Waiting for the media’s arrival to mug for the cameras and list their demands
It’s a vicious circle to say the least creating a perfect storm
As one winds up feeling like he’s dangled over the water by the man on the platform
Chomp Chomp Chomp
It’s been another four years and time for a general election
And a genuine potpourri of candidates lined up to garner voters’ affection
Back in the day a candidate was groomed for office by his career
Trained in all aspects of the job such as the politician’s wolfish smile and to pad pockets of an electioneer
Though the same tired faces surface every four years
A new face will pop up to announce his candidacy egged on by his adoring peers
So let’s take a look at candidates both past and present to see who had their day in the sun
Showing the world the Presidency is an open election and anyone can run
First up is Bernie Sanders a popular socialist but kicked to the curb by his own party
The Democrats teamed up to make sure Hillary got the nod and to Bernie were not sorry
Hillary was their choice thought unbeatable until she opened her mouth
Her opinion on Benghazi and deplorable voters caused her campaign to head south
Then came Donald J., P.T. Barnum only wished he could equal Trump’s showman ability
Creating four years of obsessive crazed media and Democratic hostility
Fast forward four years and the Democrats have tapped basement dweller Joe Biden to lead the way
Desperately trying to keep Sleepy Joe hidden before another unscripted gaffe leads to voter dismay
This guy told a black radio audience that if you struggle to choose then “you ain’t black enough”
Plus in past years a record player and a social worker are needed to raise black kids leaving families in a huff
Bernie Sanders again tried a run but the Democrats had him find his place back on the curb
And essentially place a sign around his neck reading Do Not Disturb
This election’s newcomer is is rap star and record producer Kanye West
Trying to follow in Trump’s footsteps he plans on stealing votes from both parties to win the contest
Maybe I can help with a campaign slogan by using lyrics from his records I have browsed
Perhaps a jingle like “Something in your blouse got me feeling so aroused”
Or “Uh baby you’re makin’ it harder, better, faster, stronger” might be one to not sneeze at
But I figure that might be difficult to fit on a hat
When the Planet of the Apes was released in 1968 the end was intended to shock
The main character kneeling in the sand screaming at a toppled Lady Liberty unable to turn back the clock
He realized that mankind in its lawless warlike state had annihilated humanity
And to survive in this primal state was his and his country’s destiny
Currently financially backed violent groups are waging war on America’s mores and past
Hiding behind Black Lives Matter, the demands are many. Eliminate law and order, rewrite history and all who oppose are harassed
Every work force has good workers and only a few bad no one will deny
Unfortunately with police, keeping bad ones someone might die
This applies to people of color, all colors if level headed folks would read the stats
But the anarchists prefer to spew the hatred and venom at all citizens not wearing BLM hats
Evidenced by Hitler attempting to wipe out the Jewish people beginning with their history
The fact supposedly educated mayors of the cities under siege doing nothing remains a mystery
Staring straight into the liberal news cameras. “It’s all about slavery and police brutality,” they scream
To underscore their peaceful protests stores are looted and burned orchestrated by the New world Order regime
Rarely mentioned in the slavery uproar are the 350,000 union soldiers who died on the battlefield
These were simple men, shop keepers, mill workers and dirt farmers all fighting that slave ownership be repealed
As ambivalent politicians hide behind their golden parachutes and feel good canned speeches
Denying all racial criticisms pointed their way before leaving for their private beaches
So history is being destroyed, monuments pulled down and police forces defunded
But as ISIS found out in their attempt to destroy a regions’ history a superior force is required for their scheme to be blunted
Thus the circle continues, two forces are doomed to clash therefore the body count will rise
So while law abiding citizens sleep, the momentum behind the New World Order will attempt America’s demise
Hopefully we won’t be left kneeling in the sand screaming at a toppled memorial
Making a gleeful photo lead in for some liberal newspaper’s editorial
Goodbye Aunt Jemima, I only knew you as good
Your label meant quality only now misunderstood
Those easily offended decided your image needed to be removed
A corporate decision to ingratiate your product in the black community and race relations are improved
Your icon a while back by a board room decision had been modernized
Your now dark skinned June Cleaver depiction again needs changing as self righteous indignation has the nation paralyzed
So we’ll package your superior quality and once proud product under a different label
Just so we can serve the same ingredients on the breakfast table
So when the new sterile packaging is complete
Your next step will be to take care of the chef on Cream of Wheat
And in the end when the expense of repackaging and distribution it will require
The tremendous cost will be passed on to the cost conscious food buyer
It won’t stop here product names will continually change lest a group be offended
Spineless corporations will inevitability bow to vocal groups as reality is suspended
Gone is Mia, the Land of Lakes maiden. “She was representing sex trafficking,” the offended would boast
That’s exactly what I thought of as I spread that delicious goodness on my toast
Next in line is that summer treat Eskimo Pie
Another example of good intentions gone awry
Most are not really sure how an ice cream on a stick can be that defamatory
However in certain circles the term Eskimo refers to raw meat eaters and that is considered inflammatory
And so it goes, pick a product and someone will be upset
Familiar product names will change over night due to some group’s threat
After brand names, will the outspoken groups go after produce?
There will be no stopping now, all will change, it’s easy to deduce
Grocers will be cautious of profiling not wanting to imply the black race could be associated with the term watermelon
So be prepared for the produce aisles to be advertising specials on aqua fruit before there’s a rebellion
A black man died on camera for the world to see
The brutal cop didn’t reach into his utility belt for a can of mercy
Using his badge for all the life and death authority he needed
He kneeled while three other heartless statues stood by as Mr. Floyd pleaded
The protesters assembled rapidly and grew enormous in dimension
They peacefully marched, waved signs and chanted loudly to show dissension
The numbers swelled in Minneapolis and many cities across the nation
Both protesters and law enforcement massed to hear the frustration as allowed by the Constitution
The media was in a frenzy, perhaps they could catch a violent act on memory card
Just maybe an enforcement person protecting property might push a protester whether by a cop or national guard
The delirious rush to film would be eye-opening by all the camera crews
Certainly a shove, a punch, or a tear gas canister would be the lead for the 6 o’clock news
Mayors and governors alike wrung their hands while praising the marchers simultaneously
Then a store front was caved in, a cop car burned and looting broke out spontaneously
Entire city blocks were torched while mayors ordered their troops to stand down
Protesting injustice now became a looting free for all as all businesses were fair game in the area’s uptown
The images burned into America’s minds were the mobs pouring out of stores with stolen brake pads and bottles of booze
Not because of injustice or frustration but because it’s lawless behavior they choose
So now there’s a movement to defund police forces because of poorly trained bigoted dunderheads
Piss poor biased cops and anarchic mobs are what true citizens and America dreads
Unfortunately for the work of sincere people wanting change, the violent perceptions remain
The objective of one group of people now has to combat the media footage seared into the country’s brain
The country is opening back up and the masks are coming off
People are acting as if everything is back to normal until they hear someone cough
Suddenly the tension can be cut with a knife as activity freezes
And glares of disapproval are directed at the individual that coughs or sneezes
But if the virus is spread through everyday interaction than that is acceptable
Unless of course unless your employment has you working around those most susceptible
People want to get out, to assume normalcy and to be part of a crowd
Emerging from government forced hibernation eager to participate in activities that are allowed
They want to attend concerts, eat at restaurants and socialize at bars
They want to return to yesterday and take back what is ours
Things once taken for granted are missed the most
It’s time to look forward and raise a glass in future toasts
Everyone expects a spike in virus cases or a second wave
The statistics show most recover with the exception of those with one foot in the grave
The population is more than ready to attend church, sporting events and to travel
To lift up the once strong economy that took only a month to unravel
They’re ready to smell the mustard of ball park hot dogs and taste the crispness of the cold beer
To feel the thunk of the landing gear at a vacation destination without virus fears
But as for me I believe I’ll stay home and inside a while longer
They say what doesn’t kill you will only make you stronger
I’m not ready to lay in bed with lungs intubated and gasping for breath
While relatives are hastily making last arrangements needed after death
So everyone can make their own decisions about being foot loose and fancy free
But I’ll continue to lay low and hope someone saves the last dance for me
The voice from the basement came through loud and clear
His speeches had been rehearsed and edited so on his video he’s normal it appears
But all around him his handlers seemed concerned about his next big gaffe
Causing his detractors to enjoy the moment and all have a big laugh
The virus happening at this point in time for the Democrats is very fortuitous
Hoping the stay at home orders are in place through November frustrating Americans and him being victorious
America’s buoyant economy and the man in charge were dealt a very lousy hand
The Dems in their perfect 20/20 hindsight state how prepared they’d have been to take command
Perhaps they could use as an example their highly successful cash for clunkers incentive
But one will never hear that from the media as that might prove insensitive
Viewing from his cellar through his periscope he wants to make 11 million undocumented people citizens
Guaranteeing the leftists stay in power for the foreseeable future supporting the New World Order visions
Taxes would be raised exponentially to support these new people as most small businesses were shuttered due to state mandates
The new poor would have to rely on the government for subsistence, all part of the devious plan of the candidate
When a vaccine is developed there will be orders issued to implant proof of procedure chips in all residents
Without regard to peoples’ privacy, to keep citizens under Big Brother’s thumb will become the new precedent.
So the dems are prepping a angry woman to assume the reins when the newly elected man is sent to Shady Acres Rest Home
Already rejected once by her own party she’ll show the world who’s in charge with an intense leftist retaliation syndrome
All this can be seen by the presidential candidate peering into the shaken world through his periscope
Using his impeccable hindsight to continually push his anti capitalistic taxation heavy envelope
The bills keep piling up higher but the pile of laundry has gotten smaller
I’m rationing my last six pack as my household budget is down to the last dollar
The stimulus check promised a month ago allegedly is in the mail
I’ve tried to log on the see when it is arriving but to no avail
The refrigerator is only cooling last night’s leftovers but the freezer is packed
The news media spreading the constant panic caused my spending to over react
I haven’t shaved in a week and my shower towel is still clean and dry
I’ve been in the same clothes since the first of the month since I’m not in the public’s eye
Besides if you’re not going anywhere the clothes you have on have not been infected
When my temperature was read during my few ventures out no high readings were detected
The pollen on the car has turned it yellow as it hasn’t been cranked in days
And the brittle wipers smeared my windshield into a filmy streaky haze
The price of going somewhere is cheaper as gas is less expensive than it has been for years
Since traveling is frowned on maybe it’s payback for all the former holiday price gouging profiteers
Doctors’ appointments were canceled and asked they be consulted over the telephone
So previously they were just going through the motions when the listened to the heartbeat, peeked in your ears or in your eyes a light they shone
However the grass is cut and multiple chores have been done around the house
Reading and internet searches have been accomplished all the while trying to stay off the nerves of my spouse
This is happening while the country slowly tries to open back up and lose some mandated restrictions
Experts everywhere are quick to second guess all decisions as a failure hoping they’re right just once in their predictions
