New year new Jam - 21!

[judih]

good health for all
safety for all
may we all have a roof over our heads, a warm shower, and enough food
and sanity, if I dare dream

[mnaz]

Go!
Down a road.
Straight to the heart.
Life in the flesh, a riddle.
The more you know, the less.
The less you know, the more?

[saw]

a siege at the Capitol to start the year
but the orange gremlin is on the way out
Even Twitter Facebook and Instagram have silenced the mouthpiece
everyone is so fucking tired of this 4 year shit show
So the new year officially begins Jan. 20th
not expecting miracles but c'mon its gotta be an improvement
and the Dems picked up the majority in the Senate
things are definitely looking up

[sasha]

almost too late
did Cruz, McConnell, Collins,
all the suck-up enablers
see what they hath wrought:
not until the red-capped Mongols
waving guns and Confederate flags
infest their citadel
did they feel the cold reality
the rest of us have endured
these long four years...

belatedly
did lap dog Pence
(vice president white bread)
discover his balls
and four years late
manage to do the right thing...

no kudos for them -
we mustn't forget
we must remember
we must
to reward them
all of them
generously
at the next midterm

[mnaz]

It didn't take long.
Madness seeped again,
boiled from molten depths,
through slashes in our will,
cracks in our world window,
fractures in our foundation.
It gets harder to keep faith,
but keep, it must be.

[judih]

some of us in other continents
miss out on latest lows
a few moments of innocence

[stilltrucking]

a brave new world
of new wine (technology) in old skins
cracks foundations
like a chrysalis
to reveal new forms
to watch over us in love and grace
freedom is slavery for true believers
ignorance strength

we must see with the innocence of children
we must keep the faith with them
keep faith in saints

[saw]

i hope the lengthy prison terms
for the capitol insurrectionists
is as much fun as it was destroying
federal property smiling from ear to ear
in the age of facial recognition technology
i hope the orange jumpsuits mean as much
as wrapping yourself up in an american flag

[stilltrucking]

Something different?
Ok, then how?

a no difference difference to me feels the same to me like the way it was during world war 2 when i was a child. i wonder what the children think about the news this week?
I want to undifferentiate the last 4 years
get back to the way we were in 2016
only difference i am hoping for is a different commander in chief asap
one who is not so afraid of putin tootin
trump deserves the same sentence nathan hale got.

[stilltrucking]

just wondering:
if prezident tweety can stand in the middle of 5th ave and shoot someone and walk away scot free, could he molest a child and get away with that?
just wondering
i used to stand and wonder now i only stand

[judih]

the old limbo phrase
how low can you go
rocks round this clock

[sasha]

 
wring out the old -
it's already dripping
onto the new...

stampeding herds
of mindless MAGAs
following the will of their Deity
to burn loot kill
to articulate their views
by snarling through clenched teeth
with an enormous club
raised overhead...

distinguished lawmakers
who
after four years
have finally learned
how to appear that they care...

...shit...

a lot can happen in 11 days
'bout all we can do
is hang on
and hope that it doesn't
 

[judih]

merry-go-round
not so merry
trade one mask for another
smile for the camera
you're only a tweet away from forgiveness

[mnaz]

The longest week (and a half).
The recapture of a Christian nation
by AntiChristians. What the HELL
Will they pull next? Where will they
show up next with their gunznammo
and smirks n terror n false messiahs?

[stilltrucking]

Your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to
Survive this winter of our...
In the dead of winter I think of spring
And the painted ponies go up and down
