~What a State~

do you think it’s funny

hilarious, ha ha, a joke

how a billionaire’s money

is enough to make him an expert

on how to put his hands

around your throat

until you choke

how your taxes should be spent

and who should be sent away

to another place

to disappear without a trace

sold into slavery

or worse

to another time

when people were schooled

that rich white men ruled and

everyone else was

easily fooled

where women stayed

in the kitchen all day

preferably naked

and always ready to play

nobody was welcome

unless they could pay

their five million dollar

fee to stay

does it make you giggle

when our president

rants and raves

stomps his feet

and holds his breath

until his face

turns orange

says that only he

knows what’s best

for the billionaires

because quite frankly

no one cares about

all the rest

everyone must bow down

lay down

stay down

or get put down

orange marmalade

like fentanyl laced Gatorade

breaks the spirit

numbs the mind

until you find

you’re on the floor

too weak to

care anymore
