    Letter to the Editor: “The GOP Is Jonestown”

    COVID-19 has killed over 950,000 of us
    Here in the U.S. where we have vaccines,
    Because there is a loud, moronic minority
    Called the GOP, the evil Republican Party.
    Those rich racist White supremacist pigs
    Lie about vaccines while they smoke cigs.
    The GOP is anti-vaxxer, but pro-tobacco?
    Orange Jim Jones hides out in Mar-a-Lago
    Hiding from cameras because he’s a lardo.
    Kool-Aid drinking is the new Olympic sport
    Republicans will win, unlike when in court.
    At least the dominoes are lined up to drop.
    Refusing a subpoena will get you popped!
    Off to jail Steve Bannon and Giuliani will go,
    While their legal fees will leave them broke.
    Against all odds, they’ll lose Senate seats.
    Time to hear from the Irish poet W.B. Yeats,
    From his 1920 poem The Second Coming:

    “Turning and turning in the widening gyre
    The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
    Things fall apart;  the center cannot hold;
    Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
    The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and
    everywhere
    The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
    The best lack all conviction, while the worst
    Are full of passionate intensity…”
