Dear Friends, Yellow journalism is all the rage,Putting political truth in a cage,The good to roast,The Washington Post,Protecting pedophiles is hard to gauge. There once was a man in Plainfield,He stole wood wheeled and dealed,Never worked a day,Frittered time away,And … Continue reading →

Pathological Societies

Posted on January 2, 2026 by john

Dear Friends, It seems to me, in a psychopathic society, like Animal Farm… any act of goodwill is taken as a sign of weakness and used against the virtuous. Psychopaths don’t reciprocate, they manipulate. Psychopathic societies are the same. Moreover, … Continue reading →

Dear Friends, There once was a place called the surveillance state,Order enforced by mic, camera, and gate,Pressure grows vast,Released in a blast,And the despots end up in a cardboard crate. Rent seeking is quite legit,A way to enrich the unfit,Here’s … Continue reading →

Dear Friends, When relations begin to sour,And people start to cower,Something’s amiss,Remember this,The root of all evil is power. Look about and what do we see,All around us there is stupidity,They drive a truck,They run amok,So why is everyone dumb … Continue reading →

Dear Friends, Centralized anything eventually goes bad, Penetrated usurped and twisted by fad, It seemed a good plan, They got the wrong man, Or is it centralizing itself that is the real cad? Follow the money and you’ll … Continue reading →

Dear Friends, The elite say my speech is sacrosanct, But your opinion must be down ranked, When truth they face, They call place, And spin around because they’re outflanked. Merz Starmer and Macron do quite well, Ever with … Continue reading →
