Polemic

Be Quiet

Shut up George, shut up Rachel, shut up Joe and Mika –
your ilk packs mute eyeballs into holes of time
for sale to merchants, while you play cat and mouse.

Shut up Nancy, shut up Chuck, and all your servile
minions, with your birdbrain p.a.c.s and chicken hawks,
you befoul the congress we once held sacred.

Shut up big donors, and your congressmen too, whose
ignorance of the people’s mind dropped Biden-Harris on us,
and put mad ignorance back in the people’s house.
