3rd Reich corporate

confederate circus

 

1% pickpockets; pin-headed Hitler-lovers

work the crowd… Corporate circus up to old

tricks! Red nose, big shoe, swastika shit show-

cruel…

Capitalist Hill clowns and clownettes —

Millionaire jesters— juggling medicine bottles,

house keys, children, climate, food, water; While

gaslighting, stonewalling, dangling from fiscal cliffs…

Death cult clowns/clownettes inhaling helium of hate, brandish

double-edged swords —Slashing social service wrists—Cutting

Corporate Taxes. Fascists filibustering for confederate class-war—

pulling plugs/shutting state machine for their billionaire bosses

Circus doubling down as 1/2 star restaurant. “All options

are on the table:” Shooting du jour/War of The Week—

Heaping helpings of elephant excrement/donkey dung

served from barrels of smoking guns on mushroom clouds

Skies cry torrential tears. Screaming155 mph top of their

lungs. Returning to triple digit temps in frozen faces of

Fascist clowns (forgetting to check their embalming fluid)

Tent colonies still spring up like multicolored mushrooms

Ordinary ones… no longer willing to shrink dreams—

instead Supersize chops, courage, resistance. Grow it

Global, robust, big enough to sweep champagne-caviar

Cayman Island cabals away.

Fierce enough to end reigns of monied madmen; greasy

thumbed accountants keeping several sets of books; grifters

engorged on a burning, flooding, collapsing conspiracy called

Capitalism
