let the bread lines begin

what we

need is more government,

he says

on the campaign trail, more

taxes,

more rent control,

government

run grocery stores, free

food,

free buses,

free healthcare,

free gender transitions,

social workers, not police.

we need

to help the criminals

get over their bad childhoods,

help

the mentally

insane

and hug them, set them

free.

we need to follow the ways

of  Eugene Debs

a five time

socialist loser running

for president,

the last time

from the confines of a prison cell.

we need to be more like Cuba

and Venezuela,

North Korea,

and China and the Soviet Union.

East Germany during the cold war.

we need

to be like them.

under the government's thumb.

let the bread lines begin.

careful what you wish for,

my uneducated

and naïve friend.
