I fear for my republic

 

 

I fear for my republic

 

an arthritic

 

imbecilic

 

hollow-headed

 

humorless

 

heathen

 

is in charge.

 

Just like places

 

ripe with bananas

 

we will blame

 

generals

 

who stopped

 

being generals

 

three stars ago

 

and doctors

 

who practice

 

ideology

 

much more

 

than biology.

 

i fear for my republic

 

the needle

 

they offer

 

feels a lot like

 

Capital punishment.

  3. i find it hard to see how catering to the very same people who facilitated the terrorists who attacked up 20 years this day ----is the best vision for american security. not a hawk but no means but i wonder if our perception of weakness endangers us than the last guy in office.
