Much has changed since the days of the philosophers studied in school
Students and crowds used to gather when these men spoke as they were no one’s fool
Today with social media anyone with a phone or a keyboard can hammer out a thought and become a new age sage
One’s inner musings in four misspelled sentences can become a proclamation on their Facebook page
Let’s take a look at look at a couple of these insightful pundits and see how their thoughts might be reflected in today’s society
Bear in mind the imagined posts on the Facebook page will be dripping with democratic piety
Plato: “Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools because they have to say something.”
Today’s scholar: This virus is all the orange man’s fault and has nothing to do with Beijing
Descartes: “A state is better governed which has few laws and those laws strictly over served”
Today’s scholar: The way I see it, Nancy’s got arrows in her quiver and the law of the Constitution don’t need to be preserved
Plato: “Democracy passes into despotism.” That warning came from long ago
Today’s scholar: Hopefully Biden will win and we can be safe with forced lock downs, mask mandates and end Trump’s dog and pony show
Descartes: “Except our own thoughts, there’s nothing absolutely in our power”
Today’s scholar: Obama was a great president who associated with the common man and would never live in an ivory tower
Plato: “The penalty good men pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men”
Today’s scholar: Biden’s a good guy, he’ll pass the green deal, take the guns and support socialism. Can I get an amen?
Descartes: “I think, therefore I am.” This proves one might have more thought power than something slimy washed up on shore
However in some cases an amoeba might argue. Today’s scholar: I post thar4 I R.
The megaphones are loud and the chanting relentless, people are injured and any effort to contain the violence is cause for a counterattack
Feeling cheated in life because of failures both perceived and real and it’s all the fault of America because the skin color is black
America is a pathetic place to live as skin color is the sole determinant of your lot in life
The high school diploma opens only entry level jobs, the pay can’t get you ahead and the media accelerates your strife
The new left is furious, three decades of socialist public education has reached the boiling stage
The democratic puppet masters are delighted as any opinion stated otherwise is a cause to enrage
The fanatical socialist democratic leaders have known for centuries to change the thought process it must be taught at a young age
Get them while they’re young and vulnerable as their open minds are easy to engage
Brainwashing was used by Hitler, currently used by Kim Jong-Un and our country’s socialist school teachers to educate our youth
America is a place to hate, freedom is to be controlled by the government, ambition is frowned upon and that’s the truth
It took years but the population as a whole is an election away from being in their control
Pull the cops off the streets, send the public behind barricaded doors and let mobs patrol
The question is in the end will this movement cause any group to advance
Or perhaps it’s an organized effort by the democrats to leave nothing to chance
Roads are blocked, businesses burned, monuments ripped down and people parade
When the harsh reality to this mob rule demonstration is the participants are being played
Has this movement improved the impoverished or quelled the hunger in a small child
Blame it on the opposition, their idea of working for a living, tolerance of others and family life is to be reviled
Will this idea of new American government dependency be embraced
Or will the people in the movement wind up being further displaced
Will the human resource person in trying to manage diversity scrutinize the black job candidate
If employed would this person fit in, be a team player and pull her weight
Or would there exist a sense of chip on the shoulder entitlement based on the color of her skin
Feasibly it would be easier to go with the Latino candidate’s appreciation of employment and that would be a win win.
Approximately 500 years ago the English serfs had an expression
That one shouldn’t buy an item sight unseen before taking possession
The saying goes “I will never bye a pyg in the poke
Thers many a foule pyg in a feyere clocke”
Pronounce the phrase phonetically and you’ll get the drift
The Olde English knew without first inspecting, one can be given a short shrift
Currently a candidate running for President voices his campaign speeches while hiding in his poke
He will not take even softball questions from his fawning media as his handlers feel he will choke
The man has been in office 47 years but cannot tell an audience what he achieved
Sir Walter Scott aptly stated, “What a tangled web we weave when we first practice to deceive.”
The candidate can only list accomplishments made when peeking from behind Obama’s skirt
Without the use of multiple teleprompters, trying to sound Presidential apparently might cause the brain to over exert
So while the basement dweller hollers from his subterranean window how his programs would benefit the US population
Both Putin and Xi if possible would cast a democratic ballot as there would be no stopping world domination
The pig in the poke campaign should be a sign of the complete democratic collapse
Just don’t bother the candidate between one and two as he insists on his naps
Another day another riot with more destruction, burning and looting
Hooded figures venting their primal convictions on innocent residents there is no disputing
Joined by a multitude of malcontents who revel in lawlessness but don’t own a single belief
Using a protest to loot and destroy and knowing current laws won’t label them as a thief
But is their idea of mob rule any different than the KKK’s robe wearing intimidation
Riding through the night bearing torches, ropes and whips terrorizing the targeted population
Now armed with bricks, fireworks and frozen bottles they wade into the fray
Adding to the medias’ delight as nightly newscasts watch society’s decay
Narrow minded bigoted zealots feeling safety in numbers and too cowardly to show their face
Empowered by democratic rule, hiding behind social causes and law enforcement’s fall from grace
Terrorizing innocent people has been a tactic used by bullies for years
Reveling in the fact that a person’s hard work and stature has been reduced to pain and tears
Enforcing a message to the unarmed and peaceful citizens that they set the rules
Violence, destruction, and looting are all part of their unwarranted tools
Whether it’s burning a cross in 1962 or defacing a church in 2020 it’s a symbol of injudicious power
While the recipients of this criminal activity are expected to yield and cower
What is criminal and what is not is now a floating set of ideals
Destruction is acceptable, violence condoned and a looter steals
Prosecutors know who these thuggish goons are (and were) and have long turned their backs
Criminality doesn’t apply when you favor their goals and close your eyes to their attacks
The days of the wild west are rapidly approaching and there ain’t no Wyatt Earp in sight
Just weak kneed mayors and governors hiding behind their guarded walls while fires light the night
After four nights of Trump bashing, bad jokes and spurned angry women, we have a special offer
We’re giving the voters an opportunity for a true keepsake and an excuse to fill our coffer
But wait as a special offer mail your vote now and we’ll send you two
That’s right, not one but two socialist dolls as we turn America blue
The pair comes with a bendable Biden doll that has no backbone, a truly malleable figure
The democratic house, antifa and BLM are ready for a new America they will configure
A puppet for the democratic goals of molding America into a nation of government dependent wimps
Already advising he will institute a nationwide mask mandate and this is only a glimpse
Capitalism, gas and oil and guns will go by the wayside as unfettered illegal immigration crashes all healthcare systems
Hardworking Americans will watch their dreams and savings vanish only to wind up as vacant eyed socialist victims
Heavy taxation, lawlessness, and immigration caravans will be the order of the day
While both Russia and China will be rubbing their hands with glee over their naive prey
Order now and we’ll include the former presidential candidate Kamala doll handpicked just for you.
A woman of color, half black, half Asian and married to a white guy. A democrat’s dream come true
Though she ripped Biden to shreds in the first debate, she succumbed to others’ scrutiny and dropped from the race
Not showing leadership principles she chose to cut and run from facts rather than lose face
This offer won’t last long so just add separate shipping and handling to receive this special TV deal
Included will be six ballots with dead peoples’ names to mail in so this election won’t be the Electoral College’s to steal
It seems the video app Tik Tok has come under fire due to a security concern
As Communist China has access to all information gathered by Chinese owned apps at every turn
By using this fun little app the user is supplying email addresses and unknowingly contacts, IP addresses and current location
So while your children lip synch through their clever dance routine China continues with America’s predation
Information is power and American people offer their souls daily like a digital flag unfurled
Creating a vacuum being sucked up by a voracious enemy in what will become the United States’ netherworld
The American people need to remember the world wide plague was Chinese manufactured
What is the purpose of this virus? To leave the world economy fractured?
Or was it to see the American people elect a milquetoast leader they could manipulate
The new leader would have no vision and accept trade agreements that China would stipulate
Blame the current administration for the virus credited for every death short of traffic mishaps
And urge the left to resist all efforts as America tries to pull itself up by it’s bootstraps
China has always seemed willing to sacrifice a few citizens for world domination
And controlling the world through sickness could all be part of the communist narration
So watch the cute Tik Tok videos and feel free to offer up your personal information
Because for what is offered an unseen enemy while singing into a hairbrush there is no vaccination
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
