THE DEAD AND THE DYING AND WHATEVER REASONS THEY'RE GIVEN

Am I single-handedly

saving the print book industry?

 

It seems entirely plausible.

REMEMBER WHEN THE NASTIEST THING ABOUT TRUMP WAS THAT HE HAD THE HOTS FOR HIS DAUGHTER?

Happenin’ stuff over at

CHICAGO RECORD.

 

Good poems,

intelligent perspectives, and even

some fun rants by yours truly.

So, seriously -

Fuck that fat douchebag Trump,

fuck that fat ratscab Barr,

fuck that festering sore asslicker McConnell,

and fuck all those crotchwipe Republican politicians who,

when asked about Trump’s latest human rights violations,

can only come up with

“I haven’t seen the news” as a response.

Cumstained cowards.

 

And a special FUCK YOU to Limbaugh.

Good thing smoking doesn’t cause cancer, right,

you human shitstain?

Drop me a note when you’re dead.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[i am total love, i am total hate]

speaking without anger to the god of

twisted metal saying

no child deserves this and

never getting an answer

 

speaking without anger when

anger is all that will save you and

always knowing that violence is inevitable

 

knowing that your job has no meaning

 

that your house is falling down

while you sleep

and the ground leaking poison into

the baby's dreams

 

a thirteen year-old girl at the other

end of the street filled with cancer

 

a fourteen year old girl across town

 

and the factories were promises on fire

and when the smoke cleared

we held nothing but lies

 

the old women kept their statues

of the virgin mary in their front yards

and the neighborhood dogs shit on them

and listen

 

nothing is what you have and

nothing is who you are

and every day is defined by either

relentless heat or dirty rain

 

the war can never be won if all we fight

are men more than willing to die

 

i will sleep better at night

having taught my sons to be afraid

 

 

 

 

 

HOPE FOR THE HOPELESS, DEATH FOR THEIR ENEMIES

FUCK. TRUMP.

DRESSSED IN EUROPEAN GREY

DESTROY GOVERNMENT PROPERTY, NOT BOOKS

THIS IS WHAT YOU WANT, THIS IS WHAT YOU GET. HAVE WE ACHIEVED MAGA YET?
