“Inch by inch, step by step, slowly I turned…” “I am sorry madam, the phone call is coming from inside the house…” “its an old house, yes odd at times, but what do you expect, of course, you might hear the floorboards creak, the doors open and close by themselves, just place the blankets over your head and all will be well…” “I swear to ya, they seem real, they look real, but they came from pods…” Whatever your genre of horror or mystery flick or book, whatever our own worrisome quote from some creature feature, whatever corny comment or delicious dialogue, once the movie is finished, or the last chapter read, its over, finished, and you can move on to the next activity of your life. But then THAT was then, and this IS now…and the monster is in the house, the creatures are outside our homes, and the scariest most horrific mind-blowing, demon IS real, and has once again become legitimized by a democratic process, endorsed by a democratic legislature, and welcomed by villagers who have nothing to fear, but fear itself, and ONLY want to live by FEAR alone.
Even as assignation attempts were blowing across this nation as would a wildfire amidst a barren land of brush and weed, a crowd, some paid actors, many playing the victim, most just carnivorous creatures created by a cartoon charlatan, chanted “lock her up, lock her up, lock her up. The Republican candidate running for Senate in Wisconsin, smiled, winked, and giggled as the red hats (made in China) chanted a slogan one might hear in Russia, or Saudi Arabia, or North Korea, she did nothing to try and stop the harmony of hate, just stood there inhaling the scent of what might the next enemy of the state, hunted down and dead.
The hacked into office, Putin Puppet appeared, never once moving his lips as the spew and spit somehow formed words trying to pretend he too wanted the crowd to continue to jeer and jolt democracy to a shocking death. The word unity found its way out of his used lips, you could almost witness the heaving and shudder of his body even trying to form that word. But then the next day, even as the Talking Heads, coiffed and combed, perfumed and perky debated whose fault it was it after all for such vitriol, and vile failed pre-meditated murder, the GOP remained silent, or even better, played the games of, Nah, Nah, boo, boo, they did it to us so we can do it to them too!
Stormtroopers are being sent to the Boarder…murder is not good when it is botched, and the excuse was not the kind Trump liked…wanting our pre-existing conditions, and social security and food on the table for Vets, now makes us Socialists…seeking lawful answers for illegal actions is only done by the Democrats because they are bad people…and voting rights, well fuck them if you happen to be a person of color, indigenous people of this country called America, or college kids who want a better future. Some remain silent, they will perish, Trump and his Klansmen, Anarchists, Bigots, and Blackmailed puppets remain loud, and it seems they will undoubtedly win the day!
