THE CRIME OF THE CENTURY

An orange miasma has once again spread
throughout the States leaving many braindead.
The stench is so strong it’s starting to choke
democracies everywhere, and that is no joke.
The same miasma is giving off spores
that also prove noxious away from its shores.
A near lethal strain has lately infected
some parts of our World that were left unprotected.
The miasma is planning to force everyone out
of the Gaza Strip to insert its large snout.
To the miasma it smacks of a Strip Club, whoopee!
It’s expecting to move in and claim it for free.

Tony confesses: "I was shocked when Trump was re-elected President and even more shocked by his sock puppet’s arrogant speech in Munich, encouraging European leaders to embrace Fascism. Something had to be said."
