The Waste Klan

As September is the month of falling

let us go then, you and I

let us venture forth and assess the mauling

and see what predicament we shall spy.

We find members cauterized upon a fable

and members fleeing from beneath the Dome

as gavels go silent, rendered unable

to find their way back home,

rendering Rule of Law unstable

‘cuz the joker had said to the thief

There must be some way to force ’em outa here

Thus the members were driven into grief

while insurrectionists matastasized the fear.

Our Constitution, formerly consecrated,

they smashed to bits and pieces;

our Rule of Law they desecrated

as if it were their stinkin’ feces.

And so the People were forced to go

reeling, fleeing, like herded cattle

so magas could put on their shit show

to claim fleeting victory for their battle

Meanwhile up at the podium

where the boar and the wolf were high on the hog

the air was foul with odium.

As they damned our legislative river into a bog.

Yeah they came from the Right they said;

trump pumped them up at the Ellipse.

They blamed it on antifa instead,

while insurrectionists did back flips.

“Our maga, which art in maga”;

Maga be thy name!”

while the elephant’s tail ceased to waga

pud’n tane; ask me again ’n ill tell ya the same.

So the loud din of the disconsulate chimera

they cranked up in that formerly holy space

casting maga spell in their imposed maga era

with the maga winning the race,

As for Law . . . they care not a wit

Legality’s gone the way of the buffalo

As for Constitution they care not a twit,

Take this Law and stuffit low.

Nosiree!, no Law here in this twittering wind

Send out the call on X!

“Stop the steal” stole over and over again

as they swore and they cast up their hex.

With “Stop the steal”, they stole the show.

Yeah, “stand-back”s went raging far and wide

as “stand-by’’s raged to and fro.

Senators had no place to hide;

Reps lay low while “stand-bys” did go

until Capitol/Metro police turned the tide.

America cried: No! No! No!

We the People cried Woe! Woe! Whoa!.

While the rabble babbled

Rule of Law came falling down, falling down

Yeah, the rabble unraveled

Rule of Law is going down, going down

My mad maga!

“There must be some way out of here” said the Lawbreaker to the thief!

As Americans were stricken with grief.

The magas thiught it a beautiful shit show.

But the American people still come and go

speaking of their grief and woe.

Oh! lamentable day!

That is all I have to say.

Read ’em and weep.

I pray the Lord our nation to keep.
