Dear Friends, There once was a senator shrill,She came across as a bitter pill,Ranting away,A donkeys’ bray,With her hand in big pharma’s till. Migrant workers undercut our wages,As the deadly fentanyl crisis rages,The elite don’t care,Aliens on welfare,And H1-b visas … Continue reading →

Defining An Evil Faction

Posted on November 5, 2025 by john

Dear Friends, It seems absurd to me to expect a faction that’s tyrannically violent, believes itself our betters, holds itself above the law, and even civility itself… will deliver anything but poverty, crime, and despotism once in power. It’s like … Continue reading →

Dear Friends, Your wrongspeak is an issue,Don’t go crying in your tissue,The hand will come down,A jack booted clown,Coming to the despot’s rescue. Look at the elite and you will see,Immature children and the BBC,A corrupt little bunch,On our Rights … Continue reading →

Dear Friends, As politicians prattle on,With nothing but a yawn,Are you a freak,That’s wrongspeak,And now your rights are gone. The elite all wear a frown,Running her out of town,Lies need a buttress,Nothing says justice,As when the powerful do punch down. … Continue reading →

Why Government Becomes Corrupt

Posted on October 5, 2025 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, there’s a natural force of government leading it to despotism and corruption, like a prion twists proteins into bent versions of itself, incapable of being useful. Once met the disease is inescapable. That conversion … Continue reading →
