The Monster
October 31st, 2009
Part 1 in our Happy Halloween quartet.
Republicans conjure up bugaboos
The population to confuse.
Reasoned discourse they refuse,
And Dems of horrible things accuse.
After eight years of feeding off the nation’s lifeblood
They resist efforts to clean up their crud.
It’s hard to have a Republic
When you’re constantly cheating the public.
Republicans put on a costume made of American flags
And wink at those who say “God hates fags”
They claim they’re not racist, so I guess it’s coincidence
That Republicans have so many racial incidents.
Ever since Obama’s November election
The hatred they’ve fomented has spread like an infection
People that otherwise normal appear
Have been overcome by hatred and fear.
It is by creating and using this fear
That Republicans seek the body politic to commandeer
Subverting it to their own end
To repeat the last eight years again.
These well-coiffed conservatives are not what they seem
(For one, their policies make one want to scream).
It’s just like in the movies where the guy that seems nice
Turns out to be the monster (it’s an old plot device).
Some Republicans realize they’ve created a monster
A snarling hateful beast to which they now must defer.
They call it the Republican Coalition
(Of course, it’s been subject to a little attrition).
But like the creature created by Dr. Frankenstein
When one different body parts tries to combine,
The effect is often difficult to contain,
Especially if you use a defective brain.
***
A propos Frankenstein, religion, and anti-gay social mores, Gods and Monsters is another excellent movie.
