Numb. 1105 Separate And Equal?

“CONSERVATIVES” native language is ire
while “Liberals” speak mostly hopey.
As an admirer of neither choir,
it's hard say which I find dopier
as they race towards dystopia.

Two houses alike in righteousness
convinced the other is wrong,
proclaiming they can enlighten us.
And if you think otherwise, you don't belong.

Identical, save in the details
of what they say they believe.
Whoever's in power, actions reveal
practical differences are misperceived.

Each to the other a fitting sequel.
Proving — again! — all men are equal.
Sing, “Hey nonny, nonny.” 
Sing,  “Hey diddle, diddle.”
It's unsafe — though amusing —
to be in the middle.

Numb. 1104 You Will Not Replace Us

“YOU WILL NOT replace us,” 
you can hear the full-of-fear shout.
As did countless others before.
Before they were … “driven out”.
It is dead certain. There is no doubt.
There is just one way these things turn out.

Numb. 1103 Any Got Your Guns?

GUNS ARE NOT the problem.
“The Problem” is too many people.
Too many targets not the free market
second addendum to Wee, the People.
Drop population by ninety percent,
let everyone fire when ready.
While there may be one or two wounded
it won't, on the whole, be terribly deadly.
Guns are for fun. Shooting excites.
Keen, keep, and bear. — The Bill Of Rights!

Numb. 1102 Capitol Punishment

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT is a deterrent.
Dead people can't commit crimes.
Guy Fawkes poses no threat to the Queen.
Julius and Ethel no longer spy.
Nathan Hale got what he wanted.
The rebel was given his due.
So should it be with Trump Jan. Sixers:
arrest, swift conviction, and then … adieu.

Numb. 1101 Solutions 101

LET'S DO AWAY WITH “progressives”
like Moses and Buddha and Christ.
And don't me started on Marx and Mohammed
and other purveyors of fools' paradises.

What we want is reactionaries.
Real ones, not stuck-in-the-muds,
who will REACT to new situations
instead of prescribing hand-me-down duds.

Chances are scant our ancestors “answers”
to questions they could not conceive
can yield a good outcome though there is no doubt some
Conservative dupes will always believe.

Review the facts. Recheck your resources.
Estimate what you can do.
Prepare for the worst and, fingers crossed,
you may survive 'til the next great todo.

About The BYSTANDER

My photo
When young I voted Republican. Democrats? Union goons and Ku Klux Klan. Camelot Kennedy? Not my cup of tea. (Frankly, I thought it a scam. I was, by default, a Goldwater man.) Through Johnson and Nixon I lacked conviction. For Ford and Carter I couldn't bother. Then came Ronnie. The smarmy carny, hominy nominee. Time to change party! Bush, Clinton, Bush led to Obama which led us twice to our present trauma. (Ignoring here Joe Biden's years, which Trump, the disgrace, will erase.) Labor's diminished. Perhaps even finished. The Klan is a GOP brand. Anger predominates. A felonious reprobate holds country's fate in grabby hands. Still NOT a Democrat, although I vote like that. An increasingly frail, flailing old man. I proudly am an anti-Republican.
