Aphelion

Here on the forum, it appears that 2025 has not yet begun.

Would that it were true in life as on the forum? If you could turn back time to November, would you not correct a historical mistake?

I doubt it, mis amigos. The handwriting was on the wall, but we did not heed it.

The mad monkey who would be king
knows not.
A small minded supercilious sarcastic
piece of political inconvenience,
won't feed the starving, homeless
invoking unconstitutional decrees
but wants a parade
oh by-the-way,
the cost is on you and me.
Caligula reincarnate our fate?

A COMPLAINT OF PEACE


2025

I

Has our beloved reincarnation of Caligula crossed the Rubicon?
Has he submitted his beloved musky horse in our senate as a god?
Though no Caesar he, no combatant rank earned by mighty battle,
and so General Bone Spurs, a question of power arises:
From where and what power causes the great Senate to shake, grovel and bow?
I ask again, from where, from what and why?

With the power endowed why does the Supreme Court twist words
scrambled into unintelligent convoluted knots, tied
in order to over ride what in plain language can be understood
by a simpleton of basic education?

From what source does his new magic power flow?
One can only imagine a link to the Kremlin,
but so far fetched
though…mentioned in a passing article of some doings early on
in his early life, and…
relating directly to his dropping our guard and beyond?

Yet we also know from a previous go,
a political vacuum cleaner was to have said file space was cheap.
And today, a bit and a byte here and there soon add up.
Might it be a similar play?

II

And those willing to ignore their oath of offices?
I wonder how they can ignore
what stares them in the face,
or hollowed out debates
hotly hollered in political meeting places?
Dulled by misuse the terrible great sword of impeachment,
fallen from the trembling feeble hands of our myopic Congress,
incompetent and inept.

A congress of fools to let slip these dogs of a foul undeclared civil war.
A war against its own good hard working dedicated people,
and no less the people of the world.
A war caused by broken treaties,
by an apostatized court and congress’s reinterpreted constitution,
of laws corrupted by our sacred justices,
compounded by their total unmitigated ignorance,
allowing that great social contract
yes, designed with human flaws
at that great time just a few centuries ago
where still,
still nothing like it existed with such breath and width
any time or any where,
and now to disappear so quietly and so quickly,
an historical candle in the wind?

III

Our beloved Caligula, no Caesar he.
No leader of any great army?
Of fools maybe, fodder for the flames of hell possibly,
all with the twisting of truth and reality for the benefit
of?
Of none other than themselves?
The devil itself couldn’t have done a better job of blinding, binding,
converting these great numbers to his side
falling into lock step and stride.
More room will have to be made in that fathers’ house.

Our good generals and sworn government servants
cashiered, put to rest in sweet retirement.
Who once sworn to uphold the Constitution
replaced by toadies, psycho-fanatics.
with musky reasoning and foul odor.
These illiterate, myopic plotters of this coup
are destroying the fabric of this great society.

IV

Who, if history is any lesson will loose their heads?
If not by the public, by the Great Madman himself.
When their usefulness is at best gone.
Then seeking exile and safety far from the homeland they desecrated,
maybe they will learn to fly as in other countries.
Falling from a great height,
hoping the science they laughingly discredited
was not true.
Or a sip, a sip of tainted port, a spray of some kind
politely offered as a kinder way out of their misery.

But then again, maybe not.
Might they’ll be successful turning this Democratic Republic
into a militarily dominated socially bifurcated land mass?
only to be shunned and avoided at all costs?
That reality may be possible for who wants to do business with schizophrenics?
Just look.

V

An ocean’s length today is not far enough away?

But pity its poor neighbors dealing with this titanic bore
threatening, war, financial ruin while all the while.
…all the while handing the seal and sword of state to her rivals
who, with patience wait and watch the implosion.
They watch the historic re-enfolding,
the political subduction and the birth of a new world order,
at a glaciers pace or so it might seem
but moving forward none the less.
Remolded and modeled for their benefit.

If they are smart they would back down a bit
from their own land grab or island’s desire.
Show a peaceful face.
Maybe lighten up on that former British Colony,
offering time and patience,
to wit at a good political pace.

See what that has to offer and who might accept it at full face
in that geographic arena bargaining place
where
considering their great one time ally,
to put it nicely,
is now incompetent, inept and a laughing stock of a political farce.

And they are smart, and knowledgeable, central to their history.
They can wait and smile and nod and carry on
while the idiots and company plod
taking water on like the Titanic driving on while sinking itself.
Or, like the poor frog aware of the heat much too late.

This of course is an aside.
There are others that from this predicament
could with intelligence and unity not yet shown
successfully ride to new heights.

VI

But I dream a nightmare’s dream.
I dream awake wide eyed and completely terrified.
I’m awake here, now in this place wondering
of our children’s, and grandchildren’s fate.
