Treason

Something that popped into my head out of the blue

It gets pointed out

there's a shadow of doubt

About what you perceive

that you should receive

Those things on that list

Don't actually exist

Just needs and desires

That stoke up your fire

Turn away from their call

You'll need nothing at all

Sadness at first

But you'll quench your thirst

Now is the season

for the treason of reason

Can't stop thinking about inept politicians and hoping for that treason charge to be carried out. Does it still have the death penalty? 😀
For once though, it is not the Trumpet that springs to mind, but our very own buffoon over here, Boris Johnson. If you are unaware of him, think obese Casper the ghost, whose main language consists of 98.7% uhm, eh, Ahh and ohs.
Why is it all people in power look like they aren't allowed to be in charge of the TV remote at home? 😀

I was just about to launch into a political tirade, in response to this excellent & perfectly subtle critique . . . but then I saw this & had to tack on to a great beginning, as far as tirades go! To me, this poem is not only a commentary about the sad state of politicians worldwide, but it's also a biting satire toward those who twist their perceptions around to an alarming degree to justify following a buffoon. The last line is so f*****g beautiful, I almost had an orgasm reading it & loving the beauty in it! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

Yeah, that's the new feature on the cafe. I think they call it the orgasmatron., which predictive text changed to organism.
Wanting to be in charge should ban you from being able to do so.
We don't need presidents and prime ministers. I'll tell you who we need, Mrs Brown, my old teacher in P4. She was lovely, but one look could get a playground full of kids acting like coke heads to shut up and make you look at your feet.
True, she'll be about 120 now, but she's old school, she'll still be around, and will be a massive improvement 😀

You are too hilarious! This should be against the law before my 2nd cup of java!

No need for coffee with the orgazmatron 😀
Ps... Predictive text changed that to organ matron. There must be a story in that 😀

"Organ Matron" really strikes a chord with me. I don't know why I'm in a phallic phase, but there's a National Monument nearby with many pinnacle-like rock formations & the one I posted on Facebook looked exactly like a penis. I'm just an old matron wandering a forest of perky organs, I guess *wink! wink!*

I think I've been there. Mt. D***o, right? 😀

Lucky for all, I can't post pics here!

I love that last couplet. It tickles my freaky fancy better than the old seasonal favorite: "the reason for the season!" (Jesus) Have I puffed a joint too soon (5 am) or am I really reading one political slam after another this morning? Smoky thoughts are starting to puff out my ears, thinking how I hate the way things are going! But I envy those who can throw down a few well-placed sticks of dynamite here & there to clear away some bullshit for the rest of us (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie
