Shit-Hole Country


Mud can be made into bricks;
bricks can be stacked, piled, lived in.
Go ahead, buy a chair, a table,
pipe in Fox News,
get on line and own the libs.
Wear your red hat.
Live off the land.
Go all-natural.
get off the grid.
Mud can be made into bricks
but so can shit.
It can be stacked, piled, lived in.
Just insist that dung is diamonds and wave that flag.
______
 

 for this.

    pipe in CNN... they are all in it for the money and political bickering. Illegal immigration is a serious issue - the border agents and legal system are overwhelmed - I don't think anyone is arguing that anymore. It's about votes and power - and in the meantime other countries in South America (not to mention Mexico) have people desperate to escape their shit holes to come to ours. Breaks my heart that the United Nations or the world leaders can't put their heads together and find a way to help... but again - money and power. Has it ever been different? Your words are powerful, as always. Love how you end with shit. There are times I don't see a way out - let's hope the morning will bring about a change of heart... sigh.

      No. It's about children in cages, children being intentionally separated (state-sponsored kidnapping) from their parents. It's about blatant fear-mongering over the scary brown people. It's about coddling neo-Nazis and dictators. It's about the coward-in-chief trying to pretend he has anything to do with brave military people. It's about incessant lies. It's about a narcissistic huckster with his hand on the nuclear button. It's about a sharp rise in hate groups. That's what it's about.

    Whoosh! No escaping the truth. You can put frills around the craphouse but it is still shitty in there.

    Insist that dung is diamonds... succinct statement of the actual truth. Yes.

    Hahahahahaha, lady those in red hats would never go all-natural! But as usual, I love the voice and evolution of your work in such a small space. The bricks morphing into shit was lovely and unexpected. I always love when a poem does something I didn't think it would. Thanks for sharing and viva la!

      Izy you are right of course about the "all-natural", but I was thinking that droppings are all natural but still shitty. I tried to tie it in with off the grid doomsday preppers, but they'd probably be eating spam or something. ;-)

    Reacted to the same as Izy ... the redhats prefer mansion made from plastics... maybe shit made to bricks is a great idea really (cowdung is supposed to be great building material)

    Love the shit-bricks line, hate the mcmansions and those who dwell therein. As always, you nail it. Especially applaud your comment about the kidnappings going on. I CANT BELIEVE people are not out in the streets over this. I think they have bludgeoned us so far down we cant even register the crimes any more.

    Yes, shit can be stacked into bricks, and then injected into the head of a moron.
