Jogging the Mind

This morning there was a regime change. This year is the 2026 Midterm Election in United States of America. In the spirit of democracy and absolute insanity, here’s a poem to inaugurate 2026. Anyway, let me know what you think if you decide to read it.

This is an Election Year
And you’ve gone crazy, forgetting 
saints and forgiving demons, 
resurrecting legions of liars
then watching frothing mouths
start stampedes in Gadsden
while bucking the flag—those
asses and elephants make
flagrant faux-pas as they rule
and rue our days, turning us 
unto ourselves as Brutus; 
our Ides of March are the march of
idles worshiping idols—
we are the greatest of all
American assassinations,
the theatrically suicidal 
society stabbing itself
and claiming victory while
bleeding red white and blue—
this is an election year,
and honesty’s taboo, riots
aren’t new, we don’t know what’s
true, yet the Republic rests 
on you.
