Last stand,
and I came to deliver
I been called a Clinton operative,
a Russian, and a grifter,
By Libs awash in student debt,
and proud to be an intern,
Sucking up to pigs
who’ll get a tax cut in the midterms
Cut the ties but never heal the wrist-burns
Capitalist shackles wrap
and penetrate like ringworms
Round the necks of those whose deaths
will not affect the kings purse,
Or the coffers of the company the king serves
Who manufacture mandated tinctures
safety data hanging from a fixture,
half a mile skyward,
just dangling from the rafters.
My grift is sobbing til I’m cackling with laughter
I guess I would have made a decent actor
I’d be great at crying on command
until they cut, plus 40 minutes after.
When the director waves their hand,
It ain’t a wrap, it’s now a legal matter
My grift is weeping on a mic
until I’m hacking up
Air strike verses
like it’s bombs away and batter up
Swinging on these bigots they keep killing us
to fatten up
Kill the switch, eat the rich,
I think they’re finally fat enough
Grab your knife and fork,
the world is yours,
Just say you’ve had enough.
And if you’re comfy,
You can go ahead and Laugh it up
Tell me how the most important vote
I’ll ever cast
is like the choosing of a bus
in that it might not take you
anywhere you want,
But no one can deny the fact
the bus is now no longer where it was
And that’s the kind of progress
We should celebrate and trust.
Spoken like a kid that never took a bus
Spoken like a piece of shit
that used some cash to mask his stink
and truly thinks he’s one of us
Spoken like a terminally unserious person
Who equates our cries for rights
To mixed up orders from a server
And it paints a privileged picture
of what you would label ‘Urgent’
that the worst thing you’ve experienced in life has been the time your waiter
accidentally brought a tray
of gold-flaked scallops
when you CLEARLY ordered gold-flaked Urchin
Now you’re
Storming out the restaurant
and hopping in a Tesla
you got 80 pounds of Tony Fauci merch in
~ Rewind!
True change won’t make you wait
in such a long line
Life’s not just a way to waste your free time
Air that’s fit to breathe is not a “Free Ride” ~
Best to place your bets
on weaponizing the identity
of every limp progressive
claiming grassroots integrity,
policy’s a slippery slope
for all of its complexity;
so flex your brave resistance
with this Ilhan Omar NFT
Numbered one of
seven-hundred twenty-three,
Each depicts her valiantly championing a bill before she lays it at a donor’s feet.
And she can throw her hands
up in the air with AOC, and say
“If only Nina Turner
could have voted ‘Present’ too,
that’s why we need another seat.”
“We need some MORE progressives
we elect to only tweet”
“Who live to serve Humana,
and their label of ‘Elective’
slapped on every patients gravest needs”
Every station plays the theme:
‘Medical professionals agree
on the effectiveness and safety of injections
authorized for this emergency’
and in other, unrelated news,
The profits of the ones
who manufacture vaccines
just increased by nearly 36 billion,
with a fucking B.
Sometimes it feels like
we’re the only ones that see
Sometimes it feels like
all of us are lost as sea
And every time we think we see an island
on the tip of the horizon,
it turns out to be another measure
making sure we’re kept within the watchful eye of murderous authority
So, I guess my grift is crying
for the future they denied us
where the people who would buy us
are a mockable minority
And we are more
than genomes under warranty
And we are more
than serfs
in constant quarantine
If I had a single breath left,
I’d let the chorus scream.
I denounce our leaders claiming
“None for all, and more for me.”
