Stand on your head
And look at the world right side up
That is because
The world of politics is standing up side down
Domestic terrorists have now become
Just peaceful people protesting
With pepper spray and flag-pole clubs
A gallows built to lynch Mike Pence
To see him dangling up side down
He did the unforgivable
Obeyed his Constitution vow
Today, to be Republican you must embrace
Trump’s super lie
To wear truth garments inside out
The only way you’ll maintain clout
Your Trump allegiance not in doubt
Stand on your head
And watch democracy
Go slowly dead

We’ve seen it with the Crusades, the Inquisition, and it culminated with the Holocaust. It doesn’t matter to Christians, Jesus died for thier sins so they have no reason to take personal responsibility for anything ever. As long as someone else can take the blame, they can commit murder in his name and that will always be on the cross, not thier values which they can always confess and be forgiven for as long as he is their savior.
Josh, you draw an interesting parallel between political fanaticism, which the poem describes, and historic religious fanaticism.
