LOL… Putin Plays 3D Chess

I mean, you can’t help but have a small laugh

‘Cuz there’s no doubt that on Putin’s behalf

This list was published with the strong intent

Of fueling American discontent.

The Left will shout “See!” while the Right will shrug,

And Putin keeps dealing his deadly drug.

Monkey see, monkey do

A new virus scare to keep us awake
And give the news cycle something to make
Us all feel once again like we must panic
Or think of those who do as crazy manic.
For sure it will soon be politicized
And no matter your take you’ll be criticized…!

Spectrum

So what great moralists are blind to see
That some abortions are necessary?
And by what moral code is it absolute
That all abortions are beyond dispute?
It’s a complex issue with consequence,
Both sides need compassion in their defense.

…and market sense

I can’t say I agree with this outcome

And it frankly strikes me as kind of dumb.

Sure I like equal pay for equal work

But value is not just a random quirk.

Fans pay money for what they want to see!

Should equal “work” in art be paid equally?

Oh! Well in that case…

It baffles the mind that people still listen
To the loud claims that are always missin’
Anything of substance except for that
Which will pour more fluid into the vat
Of greed and attention that these two crave
And then just re-enforce how they behave.

Hate Replacement Theory

As far as theories go this one is rich…
See, scheming people are doing things which
Are designed to poison the master race
And the right believes that it’s a disgrace!
Yes there are disturbing allusions here…
The right should take care to make themselves clear.

Exorcism gone bad

I hate it when you try to do some good

Like snuff out the Devil the best you could

From any soul that he chose to obsess

And instead you just make a giant mess…

But fighting the Devil is no small task

And may perhaps be done with a big flask…

Mind Blowing

How this is done is beyond my pay grade

Which sadly is true of a lot, I’m afraid…

Like building a rocket to go to the Moon.

If I were alone life would end very soon.

So what these guys are doing is just insane,

Connecting computers right into the brain.

Elon-gated negotiations

Now Elon has said there’s evil afoot

And so perhaps he will no longer put

A part of his fortune into Twitter

Because it seems it may have some litter…

How many “users” are simply bots?

Well, it turns out, that could actually be lots!

Infinity and beyond

Astronomers have now seen the Black Hole

Which it turns out has played quite a big role

Swallowing solar systems, yes that’s right

And sending them to an eternal night.

They seem super stoked about their cool find.

I have to admit that it blows my mind.
