Kakistocracy Now

2020

Deception paves its way to war.
Deception paves its way to peace.
Deception pays its way and more,
As central bankers plunder Greece.
It seems we’ve seen it all before.
Will its deception ever cease?
The curse of Ham’s catastrophe
Involves the pruning of a tree.
Cancel Culture’s social chatter
Gives the lie to white lives matter.
Feedback loops and Ponzi scheming
Lead to blowback Netflix streaming:
Covid’s come because we’re going.
Gorby’s Wind of Change is blowing.
The inside job it can’t abide
Is planetary omnicide.
The biosphere is failing fast
With future merging into past.
The Hookah Brücke in Berlin
Is steeped in transAtlantik sin.
Girly men with smarmy features
Span the likes of all its creatures.
Its Foggy Bottom Mouseketeers
Are German Moors with matzo ears
Who would never hear of praying
To forsake the old rav saying:
“Don’t fuck with the Jesus!”
The Big Lebowski’s back in town
With Covid means to lock us down.
Still the Mouseketeers are cheering
For the tragedy that’s nearing.
The Raven’s quote of “Nevermore,”
Becomes a twisted metaphor
For Mary Shelley as Lenore
In Wittenberg at Luther’s church:
‘How now Kakistocracy?
You’re of the Devil’s lore I see.
Your evil monster on my perch
Is not of Mary nor of me.’
