dark humor

by

joining the cause…

as i
came back
from
lunch
the brown bag prophet
was
descending
the steps
at the public library
dressed
more like
an attorney
than
his usual
casual wear
when
i inquired
about
why such formal dress
he
replied
i’m researching
how
to
file
a charge
of
crimes against humanity
against
the
current
white house’s group
of
thugs
the torture centers
that
children
are being held in
at
the border
are
more like
concentration camps
than
facilities
for
people
who are seeking
freedom
and
a better life
lights on 24 7
poor food
no sanitary facilities
to bath children
deaths from nonexistent
health services
are
reprehensible
so
i’m joining
other americans
in
asking the world court
to
take up the case
just
got to find
the right
form

promo codes available…

non random acts
of
violence
are framed
by
the government
as
the exception
to
policy
such
unconstitutional behavior
would
of
course
not be tolerated
by
the
senate
but
in this instance
for
national security reasons
all semblance
of
humanity
and
logic
had
to be
eliminated
and
although
national security
is
currently
at
flood stage
or
perhaps beyond
that
level
national security
excuses
continue
to
flow
oh
by the way
waders
are currently
on sale
at
gear chase

in a gesture of appreciation…

as i left
an outdoor concert
i saw
the brown bag prophet
looking
very pensive
he
said
i was thinking
that
other nations
should
follow
israel’s lead
and
name something
after
the president
based upon
what
he’s contributed
but
do you think
there’ll be a lot of confusion
if
so many graveyards
have
the same name

 

by

justifiable homicide…

there shall be
no
trial
no
jury
listening
to
a barrage
of
words
point
counterpoint volleys
fired
into the air
by
uniformed attorneys
whose
solemn oath
is
that
they will
represent
with
dignity 
courtesy
and
integrity
each element
of
this creed
it would seem
has been
somehow
operationally defined
but
that is
of
little concern
for
our present case
for
even though
life saving
food
and
medicine
was
intentionally
withheld
from
dying children
no charges
will
be brought
it’s just
a simple
issue
of
national security
our
political will
against
their dying children
that’s not crime
it’s
the way the game is played
a game of chicken
played
with
other people’s lives

poor boy you’re bound to die…

welcome to america
please watch your step
when
disembarking
custom officials
will collect your documents
and
usher you
to a holding pen
these facilities
are
for you own protection
as you may have heard
a number
of
people of color
have met their demise
at the hands
of
various local police agents
that
operate surprisingly similar
to those
in
the country
you’ve fled
but
don’t let
that discourage you
we have a number
of
token minorities
that
have risen to obscurity
and
are living productive lives
under
the direct supervision
of
the majority race
so
please
keep
your tracking bracelet on
and
enjoy your
imprisonment

total annihilation insurance….

dressed
rather sharply
the brown bag prophet
claimed
he had a new
insurance product
and
went into his spiel
before
i could say
not interested
a mark
of
a true salesman
he started
with
a question
who will help you pay your bills
if
there’s
a mass extinction crisis
you know
the total annihilation
of
the planet
who’ll be there
to help
you rebuild
when such a planetary crisis
is
set upon you
i said
wait
stop right there
who
would even
begin
to consider
buying insurance
like that
i mean
it’s
obvious
that
they’d be nothing
here
nor
anyone
to do
a damn thing
really
prophet
what type
of
person
would fall
for such
an outrageous
and
obviously fraudulent
set of promises
the prophet
wryly smiled
and
said
you do recall
the folks
who gave
us
our
current
president
