It's National Poetry Day

Women scream into an unheard echo chamber of misogynist denial,
Old money still determines which voices actually matter,
Old men hooked on viagra and ego suggest boys will be boys,
It's national poetry day.

A pathological liar asshole with a bad comb over mocks all opposition,
His trained seals barking in unison, locked in a brainwashed loop of bullshit,
Pretend progressives complain vigorously against this new level of self centered nonsense,
It's national poetry day.

Lobbyists for war and profit court red and blue pill swallowers equally behind a wall of shame,
Fooling all those who still think democracy exists,
Confident their lures of a well padded bank account will be enough to keep this farce going,
It's national poetry day.

The marginalized look on in disbelief as their rights erode like so much sand on a well washed beach,
Women, people of colour, LGBT, the working poor and anyone else who actually needs help
Are ridiculed and shit upon regularly by a justice system, and political system that favours the male, the white, the rich and the straight...

buy hey... it's national poetry day.... so there's that.
