Neo-Con Chippendales
White phosphorus Pony, nuclear bumps and grinds;
sulfur stench shimmies, twisted Third Reich minds—
bending, ‘amending’ yellowed, ragged redacted pages
…Pedophiles dirty dancing workers’ children in cages!
STOP neo-Con Chippendales Trump, Pompeo and Pence
provoking wars with countries, calling it ‘’self-defense—’’
STOP neo-Con Chippendales Abrams, Bolton and Barr
‘gainst Supreme Leader, Capitalist Roader, New Czar!
STOP their stripping steps of collusion and contention—
their torturous moves ‘gainst the Geneva Convention
STOP the deadly dancers in the middle of their show—
Planet’s People uniting and shouting—one voice: NO!
