I'm over my head
Taken the plunge and let go
Awash in living

packed on the blue line
like a sardine in a tin
something had to give


a buried sardine
fertilized the full bloom of

Siren songs of the scammers
Pitching the American Scheme
Their game
Your skin
Lulled by the #lullaby
Lollapalooza
Wallop da losers
Sweet mewlings
In the ears of Wannabe Romanov's

Maybe go back to grade school American propaganda to freshen up on how the government is supposed to work? Hint: the President is NOT in charge.

@dailyhaikuprompt

The color cerulean (American English) or caerulean (British English, Commonwealth English), is a variety of the hue of blue that may range

Just when I thought
I was being precise
Describing my mood
As #cerulean blue
Forgot the factor
That hue refracts
In the ultimate eye
Of beholding beholder
Cerulean or caerulean
Black stripe blue stripe
Gold stripe white
The hue is up to you

Yeah. Just “wild”. Not “wildly racist,” or “wildly misogynistic,” or “wildly fascist,” or “wildly homophobic,” because we’re not shitgibbons like MAGA. But, please do keep airing memes of Vance, Fox.

By any measure
Moved nearer the bottom
Of civilizations heap

Applauded by the loyal
Performed by the duo dynamic
One deep in his dotage
One goofy from his dosage
This became our national discourse
As media beats a dead horse

George, they'll haul out Hannah Arendt's books - it's all written down there. Auden in 1939

"Exiled Thucydides knew
All that a speech can say
About Democracy,
And what dictators do,
The elderly rubbish they talk
To an apathetic grave;
Analysed all in his book,
The enlightenment driven away,
The habit-forming pain,
Mismanagement and grief:
We must suffer them all again."

We learn nothing. Ever.

Even if you lived through it, how do you explain the vote of 2024 that led to this? Even if you were there and no matter how you voted, How do you explain this to your kids and how much of the people voted for the damage it did to the country? How could you possibly make it make sense?
