199. The Blind Lead The Blind
Daisy flower chains, you wear in your hair –
You look so beautiful in tie dye, paisley, rainbow sweaters;
Studded bracelets, black latex, plaid, leather chokers,
With rock music, everywhere —
Vietnam hippie, peacenik, anti-establishment Cold War Punks; now raging for the machine.
And begging to be seen.
A uniformity of American horror, exported gore, and reasons for war.
A timeless co-opted movement of a rewinding VCR tape, playing the same movie over and over.
Like crosses hanging upside down —
Your symbols are neon peace signs, ying-yangs, swastikas; hang ten vibrant echoes of what came before.
Liberal neocons in costumes;
Counterculture conformity, a subculture of the mainstream political partisan divide.
How can I pick a side?
Life is happening all around you, and still you’d rather die —
With the changing of the tide;
Every rebel falls into line, it’s just a matter of time.
Like the “blind leading the blind.”
— A.M. McGee

Losing My Immunity
I miss Haiti.I miss Haiti like a corpse miss its soul The longer they’re apartThe more the corpse loses all sensesAll stability.So it withers,It dries.It rejects itself. And the soul doesn’t know who. The longer I’m away from my countryThe more I lose my sensesThen my life.So I wither,My juice driesThe culture rejects me. The country doesn’t know who. Whenever I go backThey ask “yoh…

Carrie Fisher Saw it All
Wednesday, January 18, 2017
Carrie Fisher Saw it All
Carrie Fisher saw it all.
Carrie Fisher saw the fall
Of democracy and integrity.
Not that we had a lot to begin with in politics.
Carrie Fisher saw the ascendancy of a pretender king.
A man not fit to lead nor wear the ring.
Carrie Fisher saw the Death Star.
That's what she got handed
In the movie; all is not groovy.
The Death Star is the nadir for America.
The Death Star is the death of ethics.
The Death Star is how bad his breath is.
The Death Star is only the beginning.
The Death Star is he just likes winning.
Doesn't care about the consequences.
Carrie Fisher had the vision.
She saw we were just fishing.
In a little stream, not knowing our dreams
Were about to be crushed, made to mush.
Carrie Fisher saw it all.
And if you had the foresight
To know things were going to get ugly,
Why not cash in your chips?
Is this a world we want to live in?
Where our new leader in chief always has a beef
With anyone who criticizes him?
I don't think our next President
Should be a bully or a cheat or a liar.
I don't think our next President
Should be a child and a walking conflict of interest.
I don't think our next President
Should not even know what the rules are
Because he has never played by them.
Who voted for this egomaniac?
You think he will put our interests above his own?
He is the one percent; we are insignificant.
Carrie Fisher saw it all.
Carrie Fisher saw the fall.

Irrational vibrant vibes
Words are resting of the common flow with ideas in the chase of public decency in words to live . We encourage a directed belief to eradicate a tone of ideas we are the choice in political offerings . A decision is the boost to make a incredible hallucinated clause to be of a standard as words are the choice to receive . Variety is a choice in words which deliver , as a authentic word which is publicly induced to configure a political debated class of rational judgements.

Republican Poem written 11th August 1997 re-edited during COVID Crisis
I know of a kingdom where the royal family
steeped in ancient blood and horrors of prejudice of the past
hears how citizens live
A citizen thinks of a republic
The degenerate Pehlavis of Britain
Want to erase republic
Republican thoughts
And the hope of ever being accountable
Look I see change coming and this ancient forest will burn
This ancient building shall be in ruin
Fire shall consume all
Look I see the ravens murdered by the murder of crows
The towers flow with blood eternal
The degenerate pehlavis eat gold dusted foie gras
On the bodies of the poor and the destitute realm
A voice calls out wearily for food scraps,
Let them eat my corgis
I mean my corgi food
The queen laughs derisively and the kingdom falls
Come spirit of change,
Ransack all realms, return to people her power
The republic marches on
The virus has opened eyes
The degenerate pehlavis shall fall
Come the Sabbath Jew prophet
I wield the power though a common citizen
I hold the spear and the arrows
I am the fascio and the fides
I am Lucifer and I am the Law
I am Yah and I am His Own
Look how I devour all kingdoms
And bring forth chaos
Till I have brought to Him
A tabula rassa
To start again
It has begun, and the sentinels are walking forth
The army of Angels has breached
I am The power of Yehowah Tz’ vo’os
Legions and Laity
All are with me
Stop me humans,
Before the Exodus , come the plagues

The Virus
It all started with an inanely impervious leader A perfect parody of a wife beater A leader just searching for mindless applause Not at all caring for the catastrophic catastrophe he was doomed to cause One could go on endlessly about this incredulous speaker But for any with even the slightest moral character The task would be far too meager For this man of supports sound mind and body Turn to running a country, into a hobby He wanted to build a great wall to keep out foreign sound But when the task was to be done, he was nowhere to be found He riled up his fan base with faithless fantasies Depriving them their humanities and forgoing all formalities And then followed society Teetering their lives on the presumptuous illusion of sobriety Blinded by actions of their own malignity Stuck in a car driven by their own dignity Being drastically dramatic just to disagree Falling in false sanctity thinking they’ll be set free With the combination of a brainwashed crowd And a crude leader just wanting to be loud Came a deathly disaster That could’ve been predicted by even the worst of forecaster Yet this generationally transcending terror that was flooding international waters Became the true definition of nationwide manslaughter For in hindsight it was definitely avoidable And most definitely controlable But they were too many people with not enough care Too many people who thought not being able to risk their own life was unfair And there were too many people and not enough brain Too many people who looked upon intellect with disdain So as the floodgates of perdition peacefully opened No one was omniscient but the ones close to it had to remain soft spoken While it did take a while All of the delusive presumptions had begun to pile Allowing Lucifer to spread Leaving many dead and the rest shivering in their homes with dread Now we must remember That if from the beginning, our dignity we did surrender If from the beginning, we had come to terms with our albatross We could have easily lessened our loss We could have avoided complete catastrophe And granted ourselves our own amnesty

36. The AntiChrist (A Political Poem)
I think he has us all fooled, as he rides on the backs of seven nations. Israel The Whore of Babylon, “The Jewish Messiah,” the AntiChrist, with Globalist ambitions.
Still, he offers us meat and wine, internet porn, videogames, bagels, smoothies, dumb pop-songs, drugs, movies, and television entertainment. Tempting us with vanity, lust, wealth, fame, and power... and expensive vacations.
Really, he wants our souls and faith; he could care less about what else we have to offer. His only goal is war, conquest, and control, and to have a larger Army than his Creator.
Anything to keep us complacent, indoctrinated, distracted and content; and anything to make us happy, to keep us on the road to our decent.
Everything we do and say is being watched and recorded by him. The things he gives us are never free, we have already paid for them.
Luring us away from God, Christ, The Church, the Truth, and all that is good and fair; he’ll take your life, and all you love, and not even care.
I know he disguises War as Peace, and freedom and liberty as slavery. He gives us poverty disguised as wealth; and wealth disguised as poverty.
Nor does he ask for anything in return, but our unconditional loyalty. You could sell your soul to him, but don’t expect a royalty.
For his Narcissistic tendencies are his most beautiful traits; a charismatic mask.
I know he always keeps us in the dark, no matter how many questions we ask.
Don’t we all follow him, whether we like it or not...? We’re all brainwashed to his cause. It’s the blind leading the blind.
Everyone knows he has no empathy, or remorse, for those he left behind.
Look, he is always charming, tempting, and alluring... but rarely satisfying. His smile like his gifts are hollow, his generosity is denying.
Something tells me he is a racist and a xenophobic murderer, but still pretends to be a victim. He plots, schemes, occupies, pillages, rapes, and kills; but don’t fight back, or he’ll fry you for criticizing him.
- By A.M. McGee

This is the poison
Yeah you live inside it
You come to find the secrets, They know how to hide it.
But there the darkness lies, They slowly burn your eyes
Now you can only see, What they want you to believe.
You’ve got dusty shelves,
So they’ll take your health for you wealth.
They will show you hell,
Just to get as much out of you, that they can sell.
-Katie Grenier

Water: for love of Michigan
Goddamn we need the stuff! There is not enough in every place. But Michigan's got it in spades. Yet there are these parasites Who SELL us our own water. We who live in the state of Michigan. And pay taxes here and belong. There are these motherfuckers Who don't belong here. They make Ice Mountain. They don't actually make it. They just steal it and put a label on the bottle. And act like it's their domain. This disgusting corporation that exploits us. This disgusting corporation that raids us. These carpetbagging scum Who steal from us and we pay them For the privilege of paying them. Don't buy Ice Mountain if you have a conscience. Especially if you live in this great state. Don't buy Ice Mountain! I'm starting a grass roots movement for the digital age. This is how to protest in the modern world. And yes our governor is in bed with them. That sell-out emasculated prick With pedigree but no virtue. That self-serving demagogue asshole With no morals or ethics. Who has squeezed out the middle class Likes old toothpaste in a tube. And bled the state's resources and crippled our government. Please God let this prick be plucked. Please take Rick Snider and put him in a pen. Please put him where vultures will eat him. Please let him die naked and alone.\ Let him be shamed, disgraced, and ridiculed. May his name be spit upon and may he pay for all his crimes. God let democracy back in to Michigan. Please let Michigan be proud of its resources. Please let Michigan be proud of its people. For love of Michigan and all its blessings. Amen
