Another poetic creation--this one on Christianity


IS IT TRUE?
 

The only good Christian
is a dead one!
Yes, there are exceptions
(few and far between
I might add), but—
it’s also true that
even a blind squirrel
finds an acorn sometimes!

Another poem of Politically Correct Liberation


COME THE REVOLUTION
THAT LIBERATES ALL
(EVEN THE SIDEWALK!)

O poor,
downtrodden,
plebian
sidewalk,
so nobly
proletarian
in your
being
as you are
walked on
and spit upon
by men
(and some
women too,
who should
know better
because
of their own
structural oppression
under patriarchy).
But your day
shall come,
and you shall
be liberated
from being
walked on
and
trampled under
the shod
and even bare
feet of men
(and yes,
alas!
some women too):
when that
glorious day of the
Proletarian Revolution
comes,
and all oppressed
rise up
to reclaim
their stolen earth.
Including you too,
O noble,
downtrodden,
proletarian
sidewalk!

 

A poem of Politically Correct Liberation


MENAGE À TREE
(originally posted in the Facebook group
“Human Rights for Every Tree—Check Your ‘Human Privilege’”)

 
If only I could be a tree,
Then indeed I could be free;
But alas I'm only human,
Which is really to be subhuman.
I would change, if only I could!
But what can I do but knock on wood?
But that would violate the rights of a tree,
And reduce it but to the level of me.
Oh what a wretched, disgusting fool I am
For having the temerity to be a human man!

It's time for me to run for office (a poem on my political plans)


I’m thinking of
running for Anti-Christ—
because twenty-one hundred
years of Christianity is
certainly more than enough!
