Robin Hoods in Reverse

We see that Trump and his Republican

Friends are not averse

To funding cuts. Thus, they've become

Robin Hoods in reverse.

 

Robin Hood had a giant heart,

But this is quite a switch:

Republicans are robbing the poor

And helping out the rich!

 

Cutting healthcare and food assistance

Programs is their goal--

Something very unpopular

In almost every poll.

 

Some were holding out at first,

And, no, it wasn't a bluff.

They opposed the bill because

It didn't cut enough!

 

The bill also has a provision,

Which we know from reports

Takes away the contempt power

From our federal courts.

 

Is letting them take away our freedoms

Something we're okay with?

We must stop them from doing something

They shouldn't get away with.

 

Speak up! Protest! Raise your voice!

Watch Republicans gloat

As they take away our rights.

Remember that when you vote.

They Call That Love?

Some folks say that God is Love.

Oh, my goodness! Then sue me for libel!

He doesn't sound very loving to me--

The god that you find in the Christian Bible.

 

It's mainly the Old Testament god

Whose loving aspects are hard to find.

Watch out or he will harden your heart,

Give you boils, or make you go blind.

 

In fact, he is insanely jealous

And proud to be so, the writers say.

Even look at another god,

And there is going to be hell to pay.

 

He can be quite petty at times--

Indifferent as to whom he offends.

He doesn't want you to eat shellfish.

And what's his problem with cotton blends?

 

Very often he is unjust--

Sometimes for neither reason nor rhyme.

Work on the sabbath and you should be stoned!

Does that punishment fit the crime?

 

An unforgiving control freak,

He wants to micromanage us all.

And woe to you if you disobey him.

Look what they say he did to Saul.

 

A bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser,

He's truly worthy of being reviled

For telling his people to plunder towns

And kill each woman, man, and child.

 

Misogynistic, homophobic,

And very vindictive if you say no.

From sacrifices to wars and slaughter,

He seems to love to see blood flow.

 

Megalomaniacal,

He longs for glory and applause.

Cower when you stand before

The great and mighty Wizard of Oz!

 

For those who are unfaithful, he says,

Unless their evil rebelliousness ceases,

They will fall by the sword and their

Children will be dashed to pieces.

 

He often derives sadistic pleasure

In hurting those who don't adhere

To his commands and who do not

Sing his praises and live in fear.

 

Fear of what? Of retribution.

If you don't believe in him,

He threatens eternal punishment.

I hope that hell at least has a gym.

 

He always seems to be mean and angry.

Look how he treated the Philistines.

Acting like a malignant bully,

He isn't loving by any means.

 

A very unpleasant character,

Instead of a help, he's more of a bother.

I wouldn't want someone like that

To even be considered my father.

 

If you don't believe me, then you

Should read the Bible and you will see

How God in the scriptures is not so loving

As people make him out to be.

War Criminal

War criminal Netanyahu

Still isn't satisfied

Even after 52,000

People who lived in Gaza have died.

 

He wants to prolong the Israeli presence

In war-torn Gaza, which will mean

The campaign of carnage will continue.

Ah, the Israeli war machine!

 

Mass population transfers!

Ethnic cleansing! That's his plan.

Meanwhile, there will be much more

Suffering. What a despicable man!

 

Blocking food, blocking aid,

Netanyahu doesn't care

Whether he breaks international

Laws and causes death and despair.

 

Being anti-Netanyahu

Doesn't mean you're antisemitic.

Decrying atrocities in Gaza

Doesn't make you an unfair critic.

 

October 7, 2023,

Was a horror, without a doubt.

But how many more people will die

Before both sides will iron things out?

Off to Prisons in Faraway Lands

Trump is looking for countries willing

To take more migrants off our hands

And house them in their hell-like prisons

Far away in distant lands.

 

To send them there without due process

Violates our current laws.

But autocrats, of course, do not

Concern themselves with probable cause.

 

Due process takes too long,

Says Trump and fellow troglodytes

Who run the country conveniently

Overlooking human rights.

 

Ass-kisser Marco Rubio°

Says that we are sending the most

Despicable human beings to prisons.

Once they end up there, they're toast.

 

If we're sending the most despicable

People away, then it would seem

That we should start with Donald Trump

And his deplorable admin team.

° U.S. Secretary of State

Two-Doll Donald

By keeping one's mouth shut, one might

Appear to be a stupid lout--

They say--however, by opening it,

The person thus removes all doubt.

 

That's a message that Donald Trump

Really ought to take to heart.

Often when he opens his mouth,

He comes off sounding not so smart.

 

Trump dismissed concerns about

His tariffs raising the price of toys.

And so when Christmas arrives this year,

Watch out, little girls and boys.

 

He says that kids this year might get

Just two dolls instead of THIRTY.

Once again, it looks as though

Trump is getting down and dirty.

 

And, yes, those dolls are going to cost

A wee bit more, but that's okay.

Is the man entirely clueless?

What a stupid thing to say!

 

It sounds just like the comment he made

Regarding injecting ourselves with bleach.

He says the most ridiculous things

In every interview or speech.

 

Bringing and keeping prices down

Was part of his election campaign.

The nonsense we are going to have to

Put up with during the mad king's reign!
