Numb. 1235 From Here To Freedom Come

I am required to pass a test, get a license,

before I can drive a car?

Any car — new, old, domestic,

imported, gas, diesel, electric —

if I can afford it with whatever I'm left

after unfair — by which I mean any — taxation?

And insurance and seat belts?

Don’t get me started!

I thought we were meant to be free.

With all this government interference,

things don't seem that free to me.

Life, Liberty, Pursuit of Happiness —

is what America means.

No room for taxes (or vaccine mandates)

anywhere near America’s genes.

Speed limitations, clean air, food, water …

matters of personal preference.

Building permits, zone regulations?

Here on my land, your “rules” are irrelevant!

I think Ayn Rand too Socialistic —

it is well known that she was born in Russia.

With Trump back (forever?) I am optimistic,

with library bans we can finally crush her

and every one else who according to me

gets in the way of my being free.

Numb. 1234 Donald's Department

No need for courts 

Petit or Supreme.

It's up to me to decide.

A modern Solomon

followed by hollow men

who love to wallow in

yesterday's fantasies

of self-aggrandizement.

A great wasted land

of the formerly free.

All falls asunder.

The Department of Me.

Numb. 1233 Project Innocence (Donald's Version)

I never did anything wrong.

(And OJ was never a murderer.)

“E. Jean Carol” made it all up.

Fuck her. I never heard of her.

And the fuss about “pussy bus”?

IF IT HAPPENED, it was for show.

Melanie called it “locker room banter”.

(How would she know? I'm scared to ask her.)

Numb. 1232 Trump Climate Change Solution

Ignore northern border

I say we ought to

make Canada 51st state.

There may be some yelling

regarding spelling

but this would end climate debate.

With new northern air

our temp will decline.

We will be cool,

they will be fine —

healthier, wealthier,

temps not in Celsius.

Miles ahead

instead of kilometers.

(Though they will have

to replace thermometers.)
