Midterm Elections - The Missing Element Poem by Herbert Nehrlich

Midterm Elections - The Missing Element



'Mistakes were made',
yells junior George,
'behead this aide!
I want to forge

democracy for terrorists,
Iraq, Iran and North Korea
those godforsaken communists
by god they give me diarrhea! '

'Who was the one in Public Health
charged with the welfare of the masses?
Give them illusions of great wealth
but dumb them down, those silly asses! '

'We've never learned from history
as even Dad made that mistake.
A president needs to be free
his peace of mind, it is at stake.'

'So let's repeat this mid term poll
but keep in mind what Hitler knew,
and Vive la France, Monsieur de Gaulle
dumb down the masses, blame the Jew! '

'I shall rename and re-appoint
to oversee the social order.
My Condy, she will run the joint
our land expands, will need no border.'

'Our citizens, blood of this nation
must be relied upon to be
soaked to the bone in fluoridation
as only then can we be free.'

'Each child and woman, every man
requires changes to the brain
let's implement our Master Plan
the Democrats are such a pain.'

'This ship of fools will soon be sinking
if common folks are free to vote.
A daily dose keeps them from thinking
I am the captain of this boat.'

'So, go to work and trust your leaders
your doctors and your politicians.
We shall allow you to be breeders
and set the time for your morticians.'

'Back in the past, they could not know
how 'civilized' means for a nation
that untold wealth and riches grow
if people take their medication.'

Powerful satire. And speaking of mid-terms, happy midweek to you, Herbs.
