𝐒𝐜𝐚𝐭-𝐚-𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐬

The crazies we call Democrats,

Have failed to slay Trump —
They’re having a dump,
Then making a meal of their scats.

The Healing Process

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬

Don’t fall for their bullshit term “healing”.
It’s your self-respect they’d be stealing.
They are the truth-haters.
Cave in to these traitors,
And soon to their gods you’ll be kneeling.

It’s really a worthless endeavour —
We can’t hide from microbes forever.
One day we must face them,
For we can’t erase them —
Will they ever leave us? No never!

They have us locked down underground.
We tremble with fear at each sound.
They call: “Come and fight!
For you have the might!
And soon will you cowards be found!”

For circumvention she’s a knack.
She knows when it’s time to change tack.
When she has now answer,
This red-headed chancer
Responds deftly: “I’ll circle back”.

Best don your disguise —

Bet on the right horse.

Dissenters, the chosen are purging.
“Comply with directives!” they’re urging.

Be careful what you say aloud.

The Russians don’t laugh quite as loud.

Surrendered — the fools lost their nerve.

For one thing is sure —
It’s fines that these free-thinkers fear.
