I Can’t Believe How Ridiculous They Are | Howard Walmsley

I can’t believe how ridiculous they are,
It’s as if no amount of evidence can
Ever change their minds.

They’ll remain steadfast no matter
How awful the situation gets, how many
People are hurt, what lunacy transpires,

I guess they think it’s better to stay on the train
Careening toward the edge of the cliff,
Than admit they were wrong.

Shifting Gears | Stan Morrison

no more about the liar-in-chief
the idea is so averse to new verses
no more bestowing of cleverness
no gold rings for the nose of this pig
writing cannot undo mass hypnosis
it’ll never change minds of the duped
no need for facts, as a matter of fact
I’ll just keep my sights aimed higher
with humor and hope and humanity
