“What does the Tao have to do with anything? Are you kidding?”
Epstein-class — pedophile protectors — RICCO racketeers agree

at us: D. C., Cali, Chicago, Pacific, Caribbean, Canada, Greenland!

Depends on nothing, does not change
operates everywhere, free from danger
Mother- of the universe — We didn’t have
a name for it — but she called it the Tao.

Kamikaze pilot crashing into committee hearing — burn
book in hand. Firing triggering rounds at survivors’ scars;
bootlicking, brown-nosing, on behalf of apex predators —
We didn’t have a name for it — but she called it the Tao.

Talentless student of Theatre of the Absurd, contesting every word —
stonewalling, gaslighting, sowing wild quotes, burn book notes at

MAGA means Make Attorneys Go Away —
We didn’t have a name for it — but she called it the Tao.
