They Dance for Demockracy ( c ) Glen Mitton 2020


Our Republic and Constitution is being attacked
Victimized for our Loyalty , we are being sacked !
Sucker punched in the gut , elbowed by electronics
They're hoping to fold us under the crust like , " plate tectonics "
The only way they can win is by throwing their weight around
But their muscle is only skin deep , their methods unsound
Put them on the table and give them a good " tweaking "
That X-ray shows No Substance they're just pathetic weaklings
Promoted by corporate backing and hyped to the hilt !
That " Sporran " they're sporting , hangs by a thread from their kilt
Stuffed with cash , it's ornate touted and treasured
It's the only way they can participate , or be measured
Joe is just a propped up " commissioned auctioneer "
He and his cronies think , OUR " Real Estate Sale " is here
He'll gladly grovel with his gavel , to the highest bidder
With dollar signs in their eyes it's the only thing to consider
They've turned US into a " Demockracy " " We the People " mocked !
They have invaded OUR Nation by " picking the lock "
With promises of payouts they have unleashed their thugs ,
And literally left burnt marks on OUR trampled rugs !
These people are thieves and have ransacked the place
Then stand in the crowd observing , masking the grins on their face
As it disperses , they walk away and snicker
They're joyous in the disbelief and wallow in the bicker
These sick rotten bastards say , " OUR REPUBLIC' is a joke
Sold on a bill of sales with " programmed machines" they stroke
They can't wait for victory , handshakes are secretly made behind backs
Like I said before " We the People " are under attack !
But as we rotate on our axis and revolve around the sun
I'n positive those electrons will show who really won
You see , the " Nucleus is Positive " and that's a " Plus for US "
It is , in God ! , not copper that Our Founding Fahter's trust !
They dance for " Demockracy " , I'm sure it will be honored by the hoard
But they'll be disappointed it wont be allowed , not even on a "Scrabble Board !

Triple Word !

I love the passion in your post! You're fired up about the state of our Republic and Constitution. Speaking of which, have you ever checked out askanydifference.com? It's a cool site where you can learn about the differences between all sorts of things. Have you ever wondered about the differences between the Articles of Confederation and the Constitution? I know I have! From what I've learned on AAD, the Articles were like the OG version of the Constitution, but they were way too loosey-goosey and didn't give the feds enough power. The Constitution, on the other hand, was like the upgrade that fixed many problems with the Articles.

[D.F.Russell]

"The doctrine of enumerated powers stands for the idea that Congress has only those powers that are enumerated in the Constitution, which the people delegated to Congress when they ratified the Constitution or later amended it. Thus, the doctrine is of fundamental importance. It explains the origin of Congress’s powers, their legitimacy, and their limits. By virtue of the doctrine, the Constitution of the United States establishes a government of delegated, enumerated, and thus limited powers."

That is, the US Republic was established specifically to prevent a strong central government.

"Absolute power corrupts absolutely" - Lord Acton

Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die,
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.

Lord Sauron and his military-industrial minions seem determined to watch the world burn... all for a few more turns at the public trough.

MMT (Modern Monetary Theory AKA QE AKA printing) is destroying what's left of the dollar and "Russia, Russia, Russia" has destroyed the petro-dollar and that is repatriating the dollars that had flown to foreign shores. The result is run-away stagflation. And, at this point, there really isn't anything anyone can do to stop it.
