𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐓𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬

Collectivism doesn’t work my friends;
How many times do you have to be told?
When communists take over freedom ends,
As hope and truth are banished to the cold.
The powerful then gather up the gold,
And give a little to their useful fools.
And all the rest must do as they are told,
Including giving up the family jewels.
Old Bernie and J Corbyn are just tools
Used by their hidden masters to gain power —
String puppets, and the puppeteers are ghouls
Who pull upon their strings from ivory towers.
The left and communists share the same bed;
Beneath their green facades they all are red.

— D.N. O’Brien

Communism, it levels all men.
Remember those gory days when
Its bloody stain spread?
And the millions of dead?
Yet they still wish to try it again.

Old Sanders the socialist hero
Will reduce your fortune to zero.
Consumption by fire –
A destiny dire,
While he plays the liar – like Nero.

another one I got stuck with after Bernie got the shove…

Gee America, when will you learn?
If you wish to be burnt – feel the Bern.
Every time that it’s tried
All the workers get fried;
You can never spend more than you earn.

I know Bernie is out but I’d already written this so seemed a shame to waste it…

He imagines impractical schemes;
Of Utopia, old Bernie dreams.
He has stars in his eyes
And with fairies he flies –
He will pay for it all with moonbeams.

Communism – it never stays dead;
That’s despite all the millions who’ve bled.
Watch it rise from the grave
To control and enslave
In the guise of old Bernie the Red.
