Off Switch On

Off Switch On

Political vigilante mobs
on the job 24/7
polluting social media
with their partisan bullshit

Perpetually angry outsiders
sabotaging the exasperated powers that be
with stinging rants of hyperbole   

but on January 20th
come Inauguration Day
antagonists and protagonists  
dutifully switch shifts
as a whole new crew
of naysayers move in
to replace
the now jubilant obstructionists
who formerly lobbing down opinion bombs
from the roped off balcony 

Now the combat majority
will eagerly assume power
to dominate and denigrate
the pissed off opposition
as the squeaky wheel
of cynical government turns
but continues going nowhere

Hello Steve...

They said they're going to make so many changes that we're going to recognize this Country...

Buyer Beware...

Old people don't care they won't even live through it...

I hope the people can afford it...

The new struggles are going to be a new experience for many and very very real...

You can never get something out of nothing...

Great write!

Thank you for sharing...

I hope you really get your kicks out of DC...

They're already talking on the day of inauguration and talking about Taliban...

They want to end all U.S. presence...
