A Country falling into Civil War
A humorists birds eye view.
When Trump is talking, I can feel my I.Q. dropping rapidly, like a thermometer placed in a freezer. When it has dropped sufficiently, about a minute into the Big Lie, I fall into a coma. I’m not suggesting that Trump is boring, no, no, it’s not that simple. His sincerity is a little…what shall I say… off?
Here’s an admission. I have this fantasy where I’m talking politics with Mika Brzezinski, and we’re sharing Milano cookies. It’s interesting, because funny enough my sex drive is a bit whacky. Mika doesn’t turn me on, the Milano cookies do. A year ago it was Fig Newtons. I don’t know what it is, I mean, well it might be age related.
Don’t you think having that fantasy about Mika and the Milano cookies is weird? Why am I not having a fantasy about a woman with a pin in her tongue giving me a blowjob?
What is it about Milano cookies that makes such an act seem unbearably boring? Come to think of it, why doesn’t Jenny have a pin through her tongue. I’ll have one, a nail, I’m sure, one that goes through the front of my head and out the back after reading this. I’m just being, you know, honest.
I don’t know how I got from laughing at Trump to eating Milano cookies with Mika. I think, if I’m interpreting Trump Jnr., on Twitter, that his father is considering a gender change, having the ambition to become the first female president of the United States. I prefer to think he just wants his pussy grabbed. Clearly no one has any interest in his big orange carrot.
I saw Melania at the launderette. She was washing her smalls. I didn’t see any harm in asking her out for a kebab and a glass of wine. I loved her accent. She told me she doesn’t go out with dem people. I looked around but for the life of me I couldn’t see who dem people were. Right, it must be clear to you I’m now in a creative coma. What are the odds, though? Melania washing her smalls. I saw the coat. She was so pissed the painted words hadn’t washed out. Stained for life. I Really Don’t Care, Do, U?
Is this what I’ve come to, as bad as all the next, making fun of people whose motivation is to bring about unrest and authoritarianism. It’s the saddest thing I’ve known to watch a country falling. The cult of persuasion, the poisonous snake oil of power. Trump is a symptom of a country once trying to be the best it can be, and now, at the hurdle of division, not honoring its Constitution. America was built on dreams, not lies, not small minds.
Lies flying
Truth is dying
America lost
Who bears the cost?
Sincerity is lacking
Democracy cracking
Red, white, and blue
What does it mean to you?
Trust is sadly shaken
What side will you be taking?
Two parties cannot fight
One says black one says white
We turn away and lock the door
To keep out fears of Civil War
Please take off your boxing gloves
Fight no more, and show some love
