THE MAD MAD MAN WHO REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE HE’S NOT GOD

Because of a heart of stone
And a weak shattered mind –
He’s Stone Age Man.

You want to know what’s recently happened to America?
Well, now, we’re upside down!

We elected a Mob Boss as President
Trained in perfect imperfection by Roy Cohn’s methods of deflecting the law
By attacking government eyes –
This is a guy who claims he’s a better President than George Washington.

Speaking of Founders – they just ran away –
Replacing their pictures on U.S. money
With a Fort Knox engraved crypto currency
Created by this phony “Entertainment King.”

So, what now happens to the generations of government employees
Chosen for competence and character
As they’re replaced by people without souls or expertise
Who’ve been entrusted with the people’s health, retirement savings, and pursuit of happiness –
Soaked through endless sewers of criminality.

Then, there’s the recent capture of Christianity
By the Evangelicals
Who’ve replaced Jesus, the Christ,
And even God himself –
With a tacky greed-head of a con-man –
Someone who hates himself and everyone else –
A man who’s never dared enter a desert –
Who shouts, Yes, Yes, Yes to Satan, his Master,
The man who’s happily delivering us up
To a personal cynosure of evil.

This is the “Revolution” Republicans promised us –
Of evil, of violence, and deep corruption –

This is a new American Age of Anti-Democracy
And complete destruction of religion, morality, and natural goodness.

America, now, is Upside Down!


There’s also the recent work of the Supreme (“Kowtow”) Court
Which ruled the President is now a “King” and so cannot be tried for criminal acts –
When he alleges they are “official” –
In other words: for “anything.”

John Roberts, this “Establishment” Chief Justice
Did the “dirty work” required to neutralize the entire U.S. judicial system –
So, Trump publicly “thanked” him for this work after the State of the Union.

I, personally, don’t thank you John Roberts –
A corrupt lawyer in charge of our Nation’s Highest Court –
Who sacrificed our Nation’s historically-earned constitutional and legal honor
On a Nazi/Putin/Trump burning pyre.

What a disgrace! which I hope will be included in
Future American High School history books –
So that our children learn
Where the corrupt rot that’s been doing its best to destroy our country originated.

Did America die in some adolescent male corner of the recent election –
Or in an isolated Iowa cornfield –
Or in the hearts of its wayward and waylaid men
Searching for the honor they never were able to personally achieve –
Or could it have been in the hearts of their women who they also so openly despise?

Trump, Trump, Trump – heels stomping on hearts of the politically weak –
On people of various colors, genders, and normal human hope –

This is the reason the Magas have already forgotten what they’ve done –
Both for now – and even – far into the future.

TURNING AROUND IN A DRASTIC MANNER

In America, God, the real god, dies every minute –
Killed from opposing directions –
First, by those believing they no longer need God
Because they’re so smart and ambitious –
And, second, by those who worship an older, passé God
Who, since he’s obviously no longer as effective for them, get furious –
And want (and actually try) to pull down the temple on their own heads.

The first are Ivy Leaguers
The second small town Evangelicals.

America traditionally has been an open-hearted kind of place –
And Ivy Leaguers and small-town Evangelicals agree about this
But they’ve been looking in opposite directions – and for now can’t see one another –
And, presently, don’t even want to!

Our Founders designed an America open to the skies –
A free land where people could be themselves –
But freedom, alone, can’t do everything.

Americans also have to be inspired collectively to acquire the best human qualities –
While expressing a spirit of openness in their lives –
Along with an authentic concern for the “beaten down.”

America does make mistakes – really big mistakes –
But, usually, eventually, turns around after admitting them.


Yes, America can turn around – sometimes, even in a drastic manner!

MY NAME IS SURPRISE

One problem with religion is its construction
Of sandcastles in the desert –
Waiting for successors to knock them all down.

Another trouble with religion is its professionalization –
Because only amateurs are authorized
To take off their clothes in public.

Then, with religions, there are “splits”
Where the fiercest enemy is a sizable portion of its former self –
Flying arrows – hearts turning black.

The final trouble with religion is the killing off of founders
Because founders, like Jesus, the Buddha, and Mohammed,
Are still too alive to be turned into museum sculptures –
So alive, that everyone runs away screaming:
“They’re alive – watch out – better yet – run!”

Of course, running out into the lonely night,
Eventually, you have to stop, turn around, and start to relax –
But it’s really not so bad without post-founder institutions to believe in –
After all, that feeling of freedom is wonderful!

My heart starts doing jumping jacks
In my chest
Out my mouth.

My name is “Surprise” –
Just don’t try sneaking up on me!
