It will be about the survivors and about the Tao

Epstein-linked politicians

“What does the Tao have to do with anything? Are you kidding?”
Epstein-class — pedophile protectors — RICCO racketeers agree 
to pee on survivors. Deploy entire capitalist state apparatus coming 
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.

Keeps to the Mother-  fed by the Mother-
source of all being; life and death are the
same — We didn’t have
a name for it — but she called it the Tao.

Multiple meanings include ‘way,’ ‘path,’ ‘road,’
‘doctrine,’ ‘principle.’ Undifferentiated, yet complete.
soundless, formless, existing before heaven and earth —
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 
child scapegoats, like secondhand smoke —
We didn’t have a name for it — but she called it the Tao.

Ball-less Roy Cohn. Consigliere believing JD’s Junkyard Dog,
rather than Juris Doctor. Degree granted by corrupt, defunct
university of sole client? — We didn’t have a name for it — 
but she called it the Tao.
What does it take to get a disbarment date in the Sunshine State?
Empire State disbarred J6-inciter, election worker-harasser, Count
Ghouliani. Golden State disbarred loony theorist, J6-agitator and
former Thom-ass Clarence law clerk, Eastman …   And some say 
MAGA means Make Attorneys Go Away —
We didn’t have a name for it — but she called it the Tao.
