Update: Assange's Asylum Precarious

He has blabbed dark truths inconvenient
The authorities will not be lenient
They fear him
So they smear him
And seek a lawless expedient

Congress



They piss and moan, and bitch and blame,
They squawk and talk, and have no shame.
A congress of baboons could do more good
than these yahoos, and I'm sure they would.

The Slate


Which Brand Name should we choose, and does it matter?
Turn on the lights and watch the roaches scatter,
such a crass and self-important crowd,
ignorant, belligerent and loud.
As from a clown car they keep streaming,
strident, raving, darkly scheming,
smug and white, convinced they're right,
they all compete to lead the fight.
Line 'em up together, take your pick.
They all add up to zero in my arithmetic.
Whichever one is picked to lead the Wrecking Crew. 
I'm with the other team, the ones they're out to screw.

Wriggle


WRIGGLE

Wriggle, wriggle, little bug
whom I discovered when I dug
an inch or two into the ground
and came upon your teeming town,
workers streaming to and fro
with guards to show them where to go.
Medic squads were on the scene
and crews to keep the hallways clean.
Your mother-queen was in her bed
giving birth while being fed;
attendants scurried 'round her side
wiping clean her swollen hide.
The royal perfumes of command
direct the work of every hand.

The Donald

Trump's is not to be, but seem.
He has lots of selfish steam
to blow his horn
from dawn to dawn.
He floats on top but he ain't cream.

To Nebuchadnezzar, in Madison

Read the writing on the wall
Is it prelude to a fall?
Bloodless revolution Wisconsin
Mene, mene tekel upharsin

France Interdit les Visages Couvert

Who is hiding behind the mask? Is it just a pious woman, or 
a fugitive from justice, a terrorist, a thief?  
What nefarious entity 
needs to hide its identity? 
Ignorance can only lead to grief.
