Snarkishly Hopeful

A poem by Anonymous

Text within this block will maintain its original spacing when publishedWhat if’s,
Tariffs
and
As if’s
having their day.

It’s a murder melee
of PBS, FBI, NPR, DEI
in the foray.

What about education?
Parks and Recreation?

Where’s Leslie Knope
To give us hope?
Where’s Mohammed Ali
To rope a dope?

Or a DOGE?
Can that BS please have just had it’s day
already?
C’mon Ali

What if’s are rising from the days of complacency.
Choking on the bile of vanishing decency.

Just listen to all the blah,blah, maga blahs
And verbal kakas
Permeating
And obliterating
Paper fucking straws.

“Hope!”
you say?
Sure, why not?
Bet your ass I’ve got hope.
Just check out
DA POPE!
