For those who celebrate Easter today

Let’s give it up with a Big Hooray!

But no matter what religion you’re taught

Here’s an interesting new line of thought:

A lot of the world’s religions began

With psychedelics as part of the plan…

We’re young and strong and crazy wild beasts

And then time and gravity have their feasts.

Next thing you know we’re trapped in a clown suit

And physical powers are rendered moot.

But don’t rule us out even if we’re down…

The scariest dude is always the clown!

As far as threats go, this one’s pretty huge…

Like existential, a life centrifuge.

The infrastructure on which we rely

Is driven by satellites in the sky

And if they ever were to be destroyed

Life as we know it would become a void.

It’s totally outrageous, voter fraud!

A threat to democracy, it’s outlawed!

Those horrible Lefties stuffing the box

Throw them all in jail with permanent locks.

That never happens on the law loving Right!

Oh, except maybe, yeah maybe it might…

The clergy has had some hits to its brand

And often for things that aren’t very bland…

So as far as sins go things could be worse

Than a preacher snagging another’s verse.

Disappointing for sure, not what you’d like

But at least it didn’t involve a tyke.

It just doesn’t seem to make any sense

For news outlets (and schools!) to take offense

At doing the job they’re supposed to do

By offering up different points of view.

How petty a move by NBC News…

Give all perspectives and let viewers choose!

A trait so revered by most of the world

Is shockingly hard for those who are furled

Into its grasp, the dark side of this gift,

Rejected by peers and then sent adrift

To a life that’s lonely, isolated

From other people, and feeling hated.

Those who have dogs, well they already know

That whether or not your dog’s “Best In Show”

She will remain one of God’s greatest gifts

As you go through life and your fortune shifts.

So it’s no wonder hounds can play a role

In helping to heal any damaged soul.

Leaving aside the sensational line

Which grabs your attention, it’s pretty fine,

Tripping could be one of the things cops do

To manage the stress of living life Blue.

Don’t take it on duty! But we should see

If it helps them deal with PTSD.

For some young girls – and yes also some guys –

Barbie was awesome and could help advise

On all manner of issues that we face

And learn to approach them all with good grace.

So how about some Barbies who spent their time

Dealing with all of life’s slime and its grime…?
