someone
derisivelycalled
me a liberal
claiming to
understand
mypointofview

i added
the derisively

the only thing
liberal about me
is the amount
of disdain i have
for career politicians

i want the entire
establishment
to burn
and then to stand
holding a baseball bat
with rusted spikes
around the ashes
ready to beat
whatever hellish
monstrosity rises
to take its place

no one should be
homelesshungrybeatenorafraid

whatever it is
shambling about
feasting on the will
of the youth
and crushing the light
it should foster
isn’t it and the two party
mockery running the shitshow
into the grave ain’t it either

until the part about
we the people
means more than lip service
i say we raze the capital
and leave the corpses
swinging as a warning

all the vaunted
liberals and conservatives
have done for the past
fifty fucking years
is enrich themselves
while the lower class cheered
waiting for theirs to
trickle down

they’re still waiting

all the king’s horses
and all the king’s men
kept the townsfolk occupied
while the king cleaned
out the coffers
then they rationalized
the theft as altruistic
humpty dumpty took
the fall ensuring
his children never had
to work again

calling someone
a liberal as an insult
exposes the idiocy of
clinging to the belief
any of this is
remotely fixable
