Project 2025


Believers feel holy

in a warped religion

of whiteness

without love.


Propaganda of greatness:

an egomaniac’s face on money

an addition to Mt. Rushmore.


As stocks fall 

and tariffs rise

a billionaire with a chainsaw

cuts our jobs.


Pregnancy means babies

and nothing else.

Many will die

but we need soldiers.


A conspiracy theorist chooses staff.

War plans are made over personal phones.

The government encourages

the unvaccinated to spread disease.

Insanity is a norm not a plea.


The plan aims

to take countries

we say we need.


We aim for more war

global realignment

an axis of greed.

Unlike WW2

the prison camps 

mainly vanish immigrants

instead of Jews.


Government claims to want peace

floats a white flag

purposely misunderstood.


Believers feel holy

in a warped religion

of whiteness

without love.

Mist on the Hudson  how many rivers does it take to make an ocean how many boulders does it take to make a railroad  how many clouds does it...
