Now, THIS is what I call taking on the New Year with purpose. Bravo, Paul! Whataguy!
“Outrage”
Painting by Charles Pollock
From americanart.si.edu
what madness it is
to tie up the tongue
to hold back the temper
to stopper your cruets
piss and vinegar need to
be poured and not stored
disinfectants for bullshit
set burn to the bombast
whet words to an edge
cut and slash like a pirate
possessed at pc absurdity
who but the blunt honest
common sense principled
critic can rescue society
free it from strangling
within its own clutches
let fly with just outrage
put the bastards on notice
enough is enough time
to take back control from
those solipsist satraps
paternalist pen-pushers
deaf dumb and blind
central planners of life
stealing freedoms
wherever they find them
so please let the cleansing
acerb piss and vinegar flow
