                                                                                     Governor Woke Smoke’s $campaign:

                                                                                       singing Dr. Goebbels Greatest Hits

 

Governor Woke Smoke croons—Intentionally Loud—

Serving silent 1% pickpockets… working the crowd…

Right to work/low wage state—“Where woke goes to die”

Homeless, and in poor health—‘living’ Goebbels’ Big Lie!

$campaign funding from richest, most rightist directions

for $election suppression and fueling fascist insurrections—

mishandling migrants, homelessness—and even hurricanes

Florida’s Fuhrer’s being branded: “Boss Tweet with brains…”

Slashing social services, and leaving low-wealth stripes

he’s a groomer of Fox-box ‘white' anti-capitalist gripes—

re-klanning, book-banning, whitewashing, nazification—

The great Sunshine State’s lil “Special Psy-Operation!”

His disguised Defund The People Act—guess who it robs—

with wage-thieving, low-wage, non-union/dead-end jobs?

Knowing how fat cat reign ends—Minus the ‘Race Card—’

He’s weaponized ‘gainst our numbers…No-holds-barred!

He’s tasked with turning back clocks on blood-won gains

so, Woke Smoke is branded: “Boss Tweet with brains!”

Harvard-Yale pedigree—Woke Smoke’s more clever—

then Governor Wallace’s: “White supremacy forever!”

Land that forbids teaching of land theft/bloody chains—

though Woke Smoke’s running: “Boss Tweet with brains”

forbids teaching of enslaving Africans/killing First Nations—

Sparing ‘white’ feelings floggings/lynchings/castrations!

Woke Smoke’s culture-warring/wedge-driving/totalitarian

aping the white nationalist, fascist, authoritarian Hungarian—

1% preferred—As the new “Boss Tweet with brains—”

Calling, “Next!” for the drones, bombs, missiles and planes!
