Gollum awaits<\/p><\/div>\r\n

The Stephen Miller Bans<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Once he looked like all of us,
But now?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

He won’t let go of his Precious.
And it’s changing him.
Changing US.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Is he just a state of the art special effect that looks so real?
And if so,\u00a0
who does motion capture for this balding homunculus?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Straight out of central casting!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

What happened Stephen?
Did somebody not give you a birthday present?\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Or\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Maybe the rage comes from being a closet incel<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Just because you yell doesn\u2019t make it true.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Surah An-N\u0101s\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Says, “I seek refuge in the Lord of mankind,\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The Sovereign of mankind,\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The God of mankind,\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

From the evil of the retreating whisperer,\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

who whispers evil into the breasts of mankind,\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

from among the jinn and mankind.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Nobody calls him the space cowboy
Nobody calls him the gangster of love
But some people call him Gollum
For what he clutches\u00a0
and just won’t let go of<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

His boss: Orange Sauron\u00a0
Builder of oil pipelines,<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Advocate of both \u201cclean coal\u201d\u00a0
and Patron Saint of Black Lung\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Denude the National Parks of their trees\u00a0
Pardon Domestic White terrorists\u00a0
and point Steve Miller at defenseless living beings<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The One king to rule them all,
With One party to bind them,
One cage to imprison them all,
And on the border find them.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

His eye is upon us.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

His Republican Wraith riders of immigration\u00a0
hovering over Home Depots and restaurant kitchens
Menacing sanctuary cities\u00a0
And churches that give asylum and refuge<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

If ad hominem is Latin for personal attack
What is Latin for an attack on people in need of honest work
And a social safety net?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Surah Al-Falaq<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Says, “I seek refuge in the Lord of daybreak<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

From the evil of that which He created<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

And from the evil of darkness when it settles<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

And from the evil of the blowers in knots<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

And from the evil of an envier when he envies.”<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

If the Grand Canyon were the crack of Mount Doom
And America were a ring on my finger,
Could I let Orange Sauron\u2019s twisted minion bite my finger off
To save America’s soul?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Red, White, and Blue<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Could I fly like a Spirit let The Eagle carry me?
Feed the children who don’t have enough to eat?
Shoe the children with no shoes on their feet?
House the people living in the street?
Curtail greenhouse gas pollution?\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Or<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Would I be overcome by Wraith riders on flying gerrymanders,
Does my vote count even once?
Why is the popular vote and the Electoral College decision a paradox?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Icy blades of voter suppression,\u00a0
conservative court nominations,
Orange Man running for reelection
And agenda domination
And the freedom to reproduce applying only to chaos<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Will America\u2019s old wounds ever heal?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Roads go ever ever on
Candidates from both parties
Using immigrants as pawns
To find a single nominee.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

At the age of thirty-three
Setting America on fire
Lacking personality
Steven Miller you have my ire.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Agitation instead of integration\u00a0
Attempting to stem the surge of the global Brown Tsunami\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u00a0Surah Al Ihkl\u0101s:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Says, “He is Allah,<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u00a0One,\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Allah, the Eternal Refuge.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

He neither begets nor is born,<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Nor is there to Him any equivalent.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

News cycle 24\/7 365<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Facebook status complicated<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Can we get our Gollum to fall into the crack of Mount Doom
But first make him let go of his Precious?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\u2018Cause this time we need to save The Ring
The onus of an epic task\u00a0
On the least and the smallest among us.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

As time keeps on slipping, slipping, slipping into the future.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
