This Independence Day, my friends, my fellow Gulchers...

Fill The Silence.

--------------------

The Silence
(Reagan at Reykjavík, for Independence Day)

A Shining City once there was,
that's how it did begin.
Now just a faded point of light
that's rotted from within.
One of a thousand comrades all
locked in a deathward spin.
We call this place “nouveau versailles”:
dim of Light; loud of din.

Cacophonous and gangrenous,
the fetid layers reek,
amid black ties, and champagne flutes,
and plastic columns Greek,
a non-stop marxist bacchanale,
so nouveau versailles chic:
applause, huzzahs, and rhetoric with
demagogic shriek.

So, listen 'neath each landfill lay'r
'neath each whisper and roar,
'neath globalists who hate us all,
'neath democrats' rapport,
'neath weak stockholm republicans,
'neath sycophant press corps,
'neath lobbyists and n.g.o.s,
'neath activists galore,

'neath Senate six year royalty,
'neath House milquetoast elite,
'neath SCOTUS's celebrities,
'neath dear leader's conceit,
'neath e.p.a. belittling,
'neath i.r.s. deceit,
'neath grubers and their wild contempt,
'neath insult and brow-beat,

'neath minions true to our dread king,
'neath u.n. plans askew,
'neath new lysenko “scientists”,
'neath marxist pontiff too,
'neath frances piven's occupy,
'neath treason, plot, and coup,
remains nothing but... the silence...
that's representing... You.

This Independence Day shrug off
their caste for you preset:
marxism, as it ever did,
does slavery beget.
The motto live, “Don't Tread On Me,”
with shout they'll not forget:
like Reagan at Reykjavík,
that silence fill with “Nyet!”

Yes, we are all Refuseniks now,
it's time to All-In bet.
It's time for tides to turn again,
our Dawn and their sunset.
This Independence Day shrug off
their caste for you preset,
like Reagan at Reykjavík,
that silence fill with “Nyet!”

    Kind of the point that I've been alluding to with my latest work: Liberty is in a period where it is reborn or it dies.

    I'm on the side of rebirth.

    Very good except.

    Thanks for posting it.

    Hi, Eudaimonia:

    I forwarded the poem to some very diverse groups. I'll report any interesting reactions.

    Like a thousand shattered paradigms,

    Meteors shower our earth,

    A reminder in Conscious Human Times,

    Of all those that have failed before,

    And those that will fail again,

    Paradigms that suppress conscious beings,

    Will only hasten their own end,

    And cause our universe,

    To start all over again.

    Thanks, allosaur.

    There's a really good chance that I picked up "stockholm republicans" by osmosis from Mark Levin.
    It certainly sounds like something he'd say.

    Whew!
    Ol' Papa inserted another lump in my throat. I'd like to pass it on, with the Possum's permission. Hopefully, some will actually read it and let it either affirm their beliefs or pull the wool from their eyes.

    When my eyes and ears hit "stockholm republicans," you should have heard my surprised bark of laughter. Ingenious!
    If you don't mind, I'll be alternating that with RINO when writing posts and replies in the future.in the future.
    Or maybe something like--
    "Those pandering RINO Stockholm hostages, who for committee leaderships serve the White House's favorite water boy, Speaker O'Boohoo etc. . . ."

    All in. No longer polite. It's time for pushback. Hard pushback.
