Canto VII
Great are the Uninformed for They are Unwise?
©5-26-2019, Olan L. Smith
Great are the ill-advised people, exalt ignorance, and elect them king.
Let the bigoted king roll eggs down the lawn, and pardon turkeys, a
Figure-head is he who sits on the throne of power in the west. The
God Helios will shine his face on his burnt facade as he rides off
Into the sunset, taking all that is good with him, into the bowels
Of the damned. He will lay waste to the country and bring it
To its knees, a short term spent at the helm, and the people follow
The monster into Hades, where a wide path is cleared. His ego's so
Bloated his brain oozes out his nose, as he wipes it on his sleeve.
As he spends Decoration Day honoring sumo wrestlers,
Abandoning the tombs of the fallen warriors in George's
City, this Memorial Day, the town of obelisks, and its
Mighty halls of the toothless. An intervention for the naked king, and
Who will intervene for us? Who will save us from the snot-ragged bully
Actions speak louder than words. "I am an extremely stable genius."
I see the masses marching happily into hell with the naked king of
'Geniuses,' saluting him and crying, "Hail; the stable genius! Great is he!
Great is his name! Great is his family, for he will make us rich in hell."
The Christians, and their love for goodness, love their riches and
Their guns, so that the poor starve, and the school children are shot
Down. We will pray for them, but do nothing to stop the slaughter.
Will we ever return to everyday life, and leave the imitators behind?
The world of the fakers who fake their faking to make fake facts factual,
The realm where fake is a word of pride, and who call propaganda evil!
Who says he knows the truth is a liar; and for whose truth do you speak?
