Communist Are Out to Get You by jake cosmos aller
Rondeau Poetry writing prompt entry

Communists on the loose, oh my

The Marxists are out to get us. They cry.

The right wing is just freaking out.

Absolutely, there is no doubt.

The lunatic liberals must die.

They have no answer as to why.

Sometimes I think they must be high.

With all the nonsense that they sprout

Communists are on the loose.

They continue to shout and lie.

About the evil communist spy

The communists planning all out

The war against good Christians, they shout.

Communists are everywhere, aye.

Communists are on the loose.

Note: one of the most annoying features of listening to right-wing politicians is the constant refrain that communists and Marxists are out to destroy America and the world. the fact is that communism died in 1990. There are no real communists left anywhere. but to the right-wing fear of the non-existent communist threat is the latest boogeyman to fire up their rabid base. And communism, socialism, Marxism, and fascism are very different things. They are not the same at all. If you disagree, please do so in a civil manner.
