Sent in the Clowns


Isn’t it rich? Are we a pair? Me, here, at last on the ground, you in mid air.
Send in the clowns. Isn’t it bliss? Don’t you approve? One who keeps tearing 
around, one who can’t move. Where are the clowns? Send in the clowns…Don’t worry they’re here. (Stephen Sondheim)

Standing together cheering, patting each other on the back, a VICTORY, the death of a few million…a VICTORY, the angst leaving millions to wonder if the rent this month is more important than groceries, or if the pharmaceuticals should take priority, or maybe just a visit to the doctor…a VICTORY, for Jesus who was quoted as saying that if you can not afford it you don’t deserve it…another VICTORY for Jesus who was quoted as saying Pre-Existing Conditions don’t happen to people who lead a good life…a VICTORY for the Freedom Caucus, the GOP Congress members voted into office by very red gerrymandered districts who decry socialism, that is for others, as not a single member of the Freedom Caucus denounced their own continuation of Obama care perks, of course paid by the Government. A VICTORY, for Trump whose narcissism would not and could not permit, anything with the world OBAMA to be left in tack, no matter who suffers or who may die

Then boisterous boys and girls, after parading to the tune of the theme from the movie Rocky, meandered to a beer party. Raising their bottles of beer high in the sky, they giggled, they tee-he’ed, they were glamorous in all their glory finally finding YET one more way to demonstrate just how much loathing and hate they held for Americans… (I recall watching a documentary regarding the German soldiers of concentration camps, all sitting around in their beer hall, washing away with a pint or two the misery they had just imparted on their victims) The GOP laughing, as they, with insidious intent pretend that they are the Party of Family Values, when in fact they behave more like the stalker of death who roams the streets with a black hood covering and empty black hole of a face at the ready to grab your soul. The clowns have been sent in by a very Orange bloated ring master.
