Aggrieved Entitlement...

 

Some say that Lake Wobegon is intended to be near Holdingford, Minnesota. This whimsical sign is located at the Holdingford trailhead. Wikipedia

Anal bleaching and ball tanning:

I never thought I would be spitting this

In a spoken word poetry piece,

But, this is America after the “great again” orangutan,

 

Kourtney Kardashian

Was the first reality star,

Beyond adult film actresses to promote it,

So that your rectum can look pristine on camera close-ups,

This process is a “thing” in America that some of us are concerned about,

 

Tuck-em’s is trolling his audience,

And probably has a ghoulish

Fox Propaganda office pool,

Betting on when and where

(Never IF)

His duped viewers wind up in the Emergency Room,

With sunburned chestnuts,

 

George Carlin said

“Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.”

 

The red hat brigade,

All cheered when Dumbo Gambino pardoned

Steve Bannon,

Who stole THEIR money in a

“Build the wall” boondoggle,

They believe Democrats are pedophiles,

Climate change is a myth,

And so is Covid,

Respond to this present claptrap,

Don’t worry: “Drink bleach,”

(It’ll help clean your anus as you shine a light up it)

Or, take ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine,

It’s really good for deworming sheep and horses,

And relieving simpletons of their wallets,

Never wear masks,

Or, listen to the science,

Attack Walt Disney,

For their opposition to the “don’t say gay” bill,

Math is now part of the “leftist woke conspiracy.”

To have us grapple with reality,

Should I mention nanotechnology?

Empathy is a part of “critical race theory.”

 

Orange Satan enjoys the “poorly educated,”

Because he’s one of them,

The scary part is, he’s the smartest guy in that dumb room,

Despite his father’s earned wealth,

His only talent resides in the con,

Tearing up businesses, countries, and systems,

And Xylophagia is “a condition involving the consumption of paper and form of eating disorder known as pica,”

Flushing everything down a golden toilet,

 

A disinterested, unprepared pupil,

His Penn State professor said,

He was “the dumbest student he ever had,”

Using more colorful metaphors,

 

Who talks like an escaped mental patient in Central Park,

Spastic hands like he’s waving in a Leer Jet,

With his “stable genius” guidance, it’s assured to wreck,

 

He suffers from aggrieved entitlement,

A form of narcissism,

Whereby he feels it’s his birthright,

To lord over everything,

Like some pusillanimous potentate

Who bails on any responsibility,

When his half-cocked schemes blow up in his face,

Not a US president,

With the codes to nuclear Armageddon,

 

When his friend, Pierce Morgan

Confronts him with the truth,

That he lost the 2020 election,

He tells Pierce, “you’re not real,”

And the fake facade “billionaire” with the Propecia dead ferret storms out,

Yeah,

This idiot is the “COVFEFE” I want to have managing global warming, the next pandemic, and the nuclear football,

 

We’ve evolved from the Mama Grizzly/Ted Nugent stage of the zombie apocalypse,

To wondering why Matt Gaetz isn’t in prison,

For sexually assaulting a seventeen-year-old child,

And participating in sex trafficking,

Jeff Epstein “hung” himself on suicide watch,

And Ghislaine Maxwell takes the wrap!

 

Perjury Taylor Green can’t keep her lies straight,

Under oath,

Or me a straight face

At her discomfort,

Facing questions about her role in the January 6 insurrection

And her idiot lawyer arguing,

That an 1878 ruling,

Forever exonerated,

All insurrectionists,

For ALL time from now on,

So that, peeing and defecating at the Capitol

Is “legitimate political discourse,”

 

Aggrieved entitlement,

It makes you mentally sick,

And easy marks for con artists,

 

Think about it:

 

Your aggrieved entitlement,

It hasn’t increased your stature,

It hasn’t improved your socioeconomic status,

It hasn’t brought back those white picket fences in that Camp Woebegone land of “great again,”

 

You’re getting nothing for this boondoggle

Except for bleached anuses and Melanoma chestnuts,

 

Look at your country,

Look at your neighborhoods,

Look in your wallets,

And ask yourselves this:

 

What FIRST dollar did aggrieved entitlement put in your pockets?

For the Children...

Fifty-two dead and hundreds maimed,

Russia claims to be liberating,

Ukraine from the Nazis in his addled brain,

The missile with the missive in Russian graffiti:

 

“For the children,”

 

A clever double entendre

In a war prosecuted by terrorists,

The head potentate of war crimes,

Vladimir Putin,

Head of a military superpower

Led by a war criminal,

 

“For the children,”

 

This barbarism isn’t “genius,”

It’s psychotic,

But his American cheerleader sporting a dead ferret on his addled head,

Lying profusely, it’s his hair over a bald spot,

From a botched plastic surgery

For which he reportedly assaulted his first immigrant spouse,

A flaw to his warped sense of self-perfection,

His narcissism can’t admit it exists,

A metaphor for the uncomfortable truths of his life he refuses to accept,

(Like being a business failure and NOT a "stable genius")

 

Putin is sitting at the end of a twenty-foot desk,

Followed in his limited travels by oncologists,

Who specializes in cancer of the thyroid,

 

It might mean that his immune system is compromised.

 

The irony, for a KGB agent who specialized in turning citizens of other countries into fifth columnists,

(Look at his 2016 - 2020 Manchurian Candidate)

Putin used kompromat against his victims, “useful idiots,” and opponents,

 

In a world recovering from a deadly pandemic,

Such knowledge might be terrifying to a terrorist,

Putting Putin at the end of twenty-foot desks,

 

Ferret toupees and twenty-foot desks:

Metaphors for quote so-called “strongmen,”

Prolific liars who “can’t handle the truth,”

Who create parallel universes around themselves,

Experts at forming personality cults around them,

Surrounding themselves with treacherous “yes men,”

Who steals from the strongmen as he steals from citizens,

The kings of flaccidity demand their flunkies only tell them “good news,”

Their fake shields hiding their impotence,

 

Murder becomes a requisite

To keep the illusion fresh:

Murdered women, men, and children in Syria, Crimea, Ukraine,

A million Coronavirus pandemic casualties in the US,

Gun violence that becomes serial naval gazing, and endemic,

 

“For the children,”

 

We need to have a global determination,

Of the mental health of any country’s leaders

They should have a battery of psychological tests,

Before RUNNING for office,

BEFORE taking a salary,

Before becoming a premier or president,

 

Because of their loose grasp of reality:

It,

Determines the allocation of resources and whether humans starve or are fed,

Determines how (or IF) we deal with climate catastrophe,

Determines whether we transition to renewable energy,

Determines the price of gas and groceries,

Determines whether we are served by elected representatives or ruled by dictators,

Determines whether we have truths that set us free, or gaslighting,

Determines whether France has Manuel Macron or Marine Le Pen,

Determines whether we explore the stars or fall from Sisyphus' precipice from Homo Sapiens to Homo Stultus,

 

Who we put in power should answer to their population, not astroturf campaigns and special interests,

The future we cannot predict, but

The future we’re supposed to make better for our posterity: “For the children.”
