№ 511: Off The People, Buy The People, Gore The People

The Divine Right of Kings

is one of those things.

If you are king

you are for it.

If you are not,

you deplore it.

If you are a noble

with your own castle

opposing the king

may be a hassle

but it is well-known

nobles are prone

to killing kings

and stealing thrones,
gaining renown,
their names written down
as Cæsars of kingdoms
and stealers of crowns.

If you're a peasant,
your life is not pleasant,

you have to toil
working the soil.
A man of no season,
who can't feel fulfilled
and nobody notices
when you get killed.

No. CL.i: EXTRA! RIP GOP?

Globe And Mail: Trump’s politics of wrath leaves GOP in shambles (Paywall)

Large numbers of Republicans would dearly love to desert their leader...But if provoked by signs of rebellion, it is not inconceivable that Mr. Trump would split with the party and run under a new conservative banner. That's a development that...would kill the GOP.

Hey, GOP, you down in the dumps
because you elected Donald J. Trump?
Come off it, what's with the weeping.
Seeds sown. That's what you're reaping.
You say the Bible
is always reliable,
but there's a lesson you don't appreciate:
GOD, I mean Donald, does not negotiate.
On deck all hands
is what HE demands.
Elections are fine, but listen my Brethern
your "Good Book" speaks of the KINGDOM of heaven.
If democracy is really your thing,
why nominate a wannabe king?
