RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: AMERICAN DEMOCRACY
Proper
Propaganda
I am not against propaganda
Gandhi was a proper propagandist
Paine and Jefferson wrote proper propaganda
Honest wise and virtuous
But our president and his sycophants
Are not proper propagandists
They deal in heavy handed subterfuge
Falsehoods deceptions and lies
With great irony and conviction
They give us the opposite of the truth
Truth without negation
Truth without truth
Climate change is (not) a hoax
Democrats will (not) destroy democracy
Democrats (do not) want anarchy and upheaval
They will (not) burn your homes
They will (not) take your women
They will (not) traffic your children (really?)
We will (not) give you good jobs
We will (not) provide healthcare
We will (not) guarantee social security
The opposite of truth
The truth sans negation
Truth without truth
They are (not) men of honor
They are (not) well intentioned
They are (not) well informed
They are (not) the hope of our nation
They will (not) make America great
They will (not) liberate the world
The truth is not the truth
As long as they are in power
Patiently we await
The reckoning hour
