I Read the News Today, Oh Shit

Imagine the shock of Dorothy Gale,

The Tin Man, Scarecrow, Cowardly Lion

When Toto pulled the curtain open to reveal

Not a wizard but an old con man lying.

 

That’s akin to what I felt today, inside

That headline, that seductive little brute.

I should’ve left it there like a turd on the wayside

But I had to open it, a forbidden, bitter fruit.

 

I thought of Plato’s Cave and wondered what was actual,

What was illusion. What did I perceive?

Truth or mere shadow puppets conjured to deceive?

Who cast and held the fire or was the fire even real?

 

RFK in sewage, drowning in his lies.

Indeed, my friends, let's drain the swamp.

And Border Barbie testifies,

A deer in spotlights, womp, womp, womp.

 

The "president" says that our vibes

Are wrong. The Dems are dirty.

The flying bordello's not a bribe.

Take two dolls, You don't need 30.

 

A judge says to bring back Khan Suri.

A righteous, just decision, I suppose.

And one Trump will honor, surely?

Instead, he thumbs his porcine nose.

 

The play’s the thing as Shakespeare said.

The spectacle’s the thing. But Shakespeare’s dead.

And his simple wooden casket’s on its bier.

And Hell is empty. And all the liars are here.
