(I’ll be posting this poem in a more social media friendly format to the big three: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram. If you approve, please like and share. Here’s the raw text of the poem for the search engines.)
An Exceptionally American Virus
Our government is infected
by a Republican virus
leaving it irritable and lethargic
and we are the cure.
It lacks conscience,
holds no principles,
seeks only power
and we are the cure.
Money is the vector.
It wants mindless consumers,
instead of engaged citizens
and we are the cure.
It suppresses our vote,
stifles our speech,
spurns our protest
and we are the cure.
At least the Democrats
can be prodded and shamed
into doing the right thing
once we put them in office.
So Stay Loud,
Stay Alive,
Stay Registered
and Vote!
We are the Cure.

It is a fist of power. Should be a fist goes up, but couldn’t find the correct emoji.
