The New American Dream

 THE NEW AMERICAN DREAM

We are the children of immigrants,

            But we hate immigrants.

We praise those who work hard and play fair,

            Unless they come from elsewhere.

We love America,

            But we hate our fellow Americans.

We revere the American Dream,

            But we hate those who dare to dream.

This is the new American Dream.

Powerful Predators

 POWERFUL PREDATORS

Powerful predators prowl the land.

It was once the land of the free.

Now the people flee

And dare not take a stand.

            ***************

The powerful predators pay no price

As they feed on the small and the weak,

For the people are too meek

To free themselves from the powerful vise.

            ***************

It is a sad end to the land of the free,

As the people exchange their freedom

For an impoverished serfdom

And live their lives on bended knee.

The Psychopath

 THE PSYCHOPATH

For the Emperor, cruelty was a choice.

But it was also a reflex action.

It was his second nature.

It was his basic instinct.

It was his worldview:

            Never be soft,

            Never show mercy,

            Never show tenderness.

Crack the whip,

Wield the club,

Strike with an iron fist,

Stride in hobnailed boots,

And laugh at the cries of your victims.

It was the code of a psychopath.

Hunt People

 HUNT PEOPLE

The Emperor likes to hunt people.

His favorite prey is someone honest.

But he is so physically feeble

There would be no contest

Unless the prey was somehow suppressed.

                    ***************

So the prey is first hounded

By thugs in a pack,

And then pounded

And tied in a sack.

Only then does the Emperor attack.

War On The People

 WAR ON THE PEOPLE

The Emperor declared war on the people.

"The enemy is within," he said,

"And I will not rest until the people are dead,

Or at least the ones who do not worship me."

But he loved the ignorant people,

And they loved him,

Because he declared war on all the people

Who did not worship him

And weren't like them.

There Is No Rabbit

 THERE IS NO RABBIT

Even when he doesn't need to,

The Emperor lies.

It's a habit,

Like a dog chasing a rabbit.

If you told him it was day,

He would say it was night.

If you told him it was left,

He would say it was right.

If you said it was up,

He would say it was down.

If you asked him to smile,

He would give you a frown.

He wants you to get in the habit

Of chasing the rabbit,

Even when there is no rabbit.

Friday, February 13, 2026

Quickly Disappear

 QUICKLY DISAPPEAR

The Emperor does not know he's mad,

And that is absolutely bad.

It means that those who see him clear

Must quickly disappear,

Or else pretend they're glad.

Thursday, February 12, 2026

A Mass Delusion

 A MASS DELUSION

To clear up our confusion

The Emperor said climate change is illusion,

A great hallucination

Of the entire nation,

All part of a mass delusion.

Wednesday, February 11, 2026

Us Who Cower

 US WHO COWER

Before the Emperor came to power

He would bellow by the hour

About how the ruler was unfair,

And simply didn't care.

Now, it is us who cower.

Tuesday, February 10, 2026

Grief Poured Down

 GRIEF POURED DOWN

Grief poured down on the people

            Like a relentless waterfall.

The Emperor had chosen them,

            On a careless, passing, whim,

To suffer his latest atrocity.

            ***************

The people had committed no crime.

            They kept silent and worked hard.

It was just their time.

            Perhaps, on another day,

If he had not passed their way,

            They might have lived another day.

But, today, they had to pay.

I Want Your Juice

 I WANT YOUR JUICE

I want to taste your juice.

I want to taste your juice every day.

A sweet and juicy jelly roll

Like you

                Should be tasted every day,

And every day,

                A different way,

More juicy,

                More succulent,

                                Than the previous way.

I want your juice to fill my mouth.

I want your juice to drip from my lips.

I want your juice.

Calling Dr. Oz

 CALLING DR. OZ

The Emperor is an ancient old fart

Completely lacking a heart.

It's also a crying shame

He has a peanut for a brain,

So he isn't very smart.

A Time of Crisis

 A TIME OF CRISIS

Now is a time of crisis.

Our danger is not from ISIS,

Nor from Marxism, Islamism,

Or any foreign ism.

It is from our own insane Dionysus.

Friday, February 6, 2026

Regime of Lies

 REGIME OF LIES

We live under a regime of lies.

It is a time that terrifies

Because, unless we fight back

Against the imperial maniac,

We will see how freedom dies.

Populist

And form one mighty fist,

Overcoming differences

And different preferences,

Wednesday, February 4, 2026

Value Unity

 VALUE UNITY

When he learned that empires fail.

When people value unity

Over petty purity,

The people will prevail.

Tuesday, February 3, 2026

A La Carte

 A LA CARTE

The Emperor has a hole in his heart.

It's big enough for a horse and its cart.

And instead of a soul,

There's another big hole,

And you can bribe him a la carte.

Monday, February 2, 2026

The Kennedy Center

 THE KENNEDY CENTER

The Emperor took over the Kennedy Center.

But no one came all winter.

So, with his usual frown,

And searched for someone to rent her.

Saturday, January 31, 2026

Renee Good

 RENEE GOOD

The Emperor's thug killed Renee Good.

He wore a mask instead of a hood.

She was smiling at him,

And so on a whim,

The Emperor's thug killed Renee Good.


A Royal Mess

 A ROYAL MESS

They made a movie about the Empress.

But, sad to confess,

It put even the sheep

Completely to sleep,

Because it was such a royal mess.

Friday, January 30, 2026

A Brain Worm

 A BRAIN WORM

The Emperor has a brain worm.

Perhaps it explains why he's so infirm,

Or perhaps his inanity,

Or even his insanity,

But to see it would make you squirm.

Thursday, January 29, 2026

Nazi Pranks

 NAZI PRANKS

For the Emperor, loyalty is just one way.

Then, your loyalty he will betray.

If you think you'll get his thanks

For all your Nazi pranks,

You'll wait until your dying day.

Wednesday, January 28, 2026

Commit Any Crime

 COMMIT ANY CRIME

Even claim to be an athlete.

Disgusting Lice

 DISGUSTING LICE

Turning it all into a wasteland.

Go by the name of ICE,

But they're an armed and criminal band.

 A FASCIST

Any who dares resist.

And he will invade any city

And show no pity

To any who call him a fascist.

Friday, January 23, 2026

A Board of Peace

 A BOARD OF PEACE

The Emperor created a Board of Peace.

Invited members like Skeletor,

Emperor Palpatine, and Darth Vader,

All of who paid a billion apiece.

Thursday, January 22, 2026

To Davos

 TO DAVOS

The Emperor went to Davos

Just so he could boast.

He huffed and he puffed,

'Till the world said he was toast.

Wednesday, January 21, 2026

A Nauseate

 A NAUSEATE

The Emperor likes to prate

'Bout how he is so great,

And how it's so unfair

That no one seems to care,

And say he's such a nauseate.

He Didn't Care

 HE DIDN'T CARE

The Emperor wanted Greenland,

Even though it was a friend.

He said he didn't care,

And all friends should beware,

He also wanted their land.

Monday, January 19, 2026

No Reason

 NO REASON

The Emperor's actions have no reason.
They fluctuate with the season.
Depending on how he got out of bed,
Or on the greasy food he fed,
Will be the occasion of some invasion.

Sunday, January 18, 2026

Completely Mad

 COMPLETELY MAD

The Emperor's speech is incoherent. 

His actions are all aberrant.

His senility is bad,

It's clear he's completely mad,

His dementia is now apparent.

Her Diadem

 HER DIADEM

The Emperor finally got his peace prize.

The winner had to apologize

For being more deserving than him.

Then she offered up her diadem,

Which he soon tried on for size.

He Is The Law

 HE IS THE LAW

The Emperor says he's not a scofflaw

Because he is the law.

He takes what he wants,

Then he just taunts

Anyone against him as an outlaw.

Thursday, January 15, 2026

A Big Bluff

 A BIG BLUFF

The Emperor likes to look rough.

He thinks it makes him seem tough.

But when he sends others to fight,

He is nowhere in sight.

His manhood is just a big bluff.

Wednesday, January 14, 2026

Persevere

 PERSEVERE

The Emperor seeks to rule thru fear.

He hopes to drive us to a nadir.

But if we don't give in,

The people can win.

Hold on and persevere.

Tuesday, January 13, 2026

A Zero

 A ZERO

The Emperor did not think it odd

That he proclaimed himself a god.

If it was good enough for Nero,

It's good for any zero,

No matter how much a complete fraud.

Monday, January 12, 2026

Quick to Obey

 QUICK TO OBEY

The Emperor's gnomes are quick to obey,

Eager to find new ways to slay.

There is one named Bondi,

And another named Kristi,

Both seeking to expand his odious sway.

Don't Believe Your Eyes

 DON'T BELIEVE YOUR EYES

The Emperor says don't believe your eyes.

Close your ears to all their cries.

There is no other way,

It happened just the way I say.

Believe only all my lies.

Saturday, January 10, 2026

They're Called ICE

 THEY'RE CALLED ICE

The Emperor hates kisses and hugs.

He likes only his goons and his thugs.

They close their hearts with a vise,

That's why they're called ICE,

And if you smile, they pump you with slugs.

Friday, January 9, 2026

His Own Morality

 HIS OWN MORALITY

Only the Emperor's own morality,

He said, can stop his ferocity.

But he's a total fool,

Who never learned the Golden Rule,

And he's completely lacking empathy.

Thursday, January 8, 2026

A Nazi Cur

 A NAZI CUR

The Emperor unleashed his terror

Under the command of a pretty poseur,

A vicious little gnome

By the name of Kristi Noem,

Who all agreed was just a Nazi cur.

No Loyal Opposition

He Wants Peace

To try on for size,

Right after he bombs Greece.

All that country's reserves.

It's what it deserves

For being in such turmoil.

Because He Can

 BECAUSE HE CAN

Saturday, January 3, 2026

Clearly Insane

 CLEARLY INSANE

The Emperor's docs keep testing his brain.

They fear it's going down the drain.

He boasts that he knows what to call

Each shown animal,

Even though he's clearly insane.

Friday, January 2, 2026

Asleep in Public

 ASLEEP IN PUBLIC

Our aged Emperor falls asleep in public.

He says the media likes to nitpick.

It's just a blink,

He says with a wink,

But it's really 'cause he's an ancient dick.

Thursday, January 1, 2026

He Loves the Ignorant

 HE LOVES THE IGNORANT

The Emperor says life can be painless

If you're completely brainless.

That's why he loves the ignorant.

They are so very tolerant,

And believe he's always blameless.
