[Poem] Shattered Dreams

by Emmit Other

It may seem I take my former faith lightly

I died

A great hope within me died

The knowledge that had been bright as the sun

Turned black as night

No middle ground

You dont have to believe I could move mountains

But I did

Knew it

Literally KNEW it

Annd the bedrock center of my universe

The root of ky prsent then faith

Became sand

I did die a spiritual death

And I know the hell of knowing the truth

But worse?

Knowing what I know and knew

And doing it by half measures

Justifying the unjustifiable

Excusing the unexcusable

To anyone not Maga

I would not wish that on my worst enemy

Maga can but 

[Poem] A Fully Armed Battalion

by Emmit Other

China is shadowboxing Taiwan

Surrounding it on all sides

It has the largest army on earth

The second largest navy

It is approaching technical parity

And yet

Why do I feel it is acting

Like the Chijuajua in Looney Tunes

That acts tough

And as a henchman for bigger dogs

Why does a supposed super power

Act like Lichtenstein on Crack?

Nothing says Stable and Responsible 

Sane and Dependinle

Like Pooping in their hands

And flinging it at Taiwan

Because they didnt like a speech

[Poem] The Benefit of The Doubt

by Emmit Other

Comes a point

where benevolence is no longer the default

Comes a point

Where innocents are abused and threatned

Comes a point

Where you arent gonna sit there

In a rigged system

From a rigged abusive abuser

Wbo abused you

Who you no longer need to defer to

Comes a point

Where maintaining good relations

Isnt required anymore

Especially

Whem everything you ever said you cared about

Is a lie

Actions speak louder than words

And baby?

You take the literal fucking cake

[Poem] 30 years and 30000

by Emmit Other

A member of the LDS faith

Might say

I have no business discussing LDS Matters

I beg to differ

Until the LDS church gives me back

The first 30 years of my life

And 30000 in tithing money

I spent

Based on lies told to me

By everyone I ever cared about

Who say they love me

But who do not like me

Who spread calumny because

I speak truth to power

Samuel the Lamanite

In the LDS Book of Mormon

Condemned the evil of Zarahemla

And no record was made of his name

Christ hinself 

In the Book Of mormon

Admonished Nephi Of the time

For not recording the words

They knew to be true

Was it because

they didnt like what he said

About most of their zarahelma church?

Maga is poison

And failure to call it out

Means having a prophet is pointless

So I Do 

What Russle M Nelson

Should be

And

Isnt

[Oem] The Looking Glass of Poop

by Emmit Other

I cannot help

But watch with fascination

And joy

As every single Reublican betrays their principals

Every national republican

Ha s condned Trump

But for Abortion and Lower Taxes

They swallow their tounges

And pretend that they never said anything

Trump didnt forget

Maga will never forget

When he 

Or his delegated heir

Becomes President

Maga will show

EVERYONE

EVERYONE 

EVERYONE!!!!

Who didnt praise Trump from the start

The kind of justice

They wanna give

To Protesters

To "Illegal" Immigrants

To Academics

And I will laugh

As I watch from another country

Because I have loved ones

Who will do it to other loved ones

And it will be a black comedy

But I will have warmed them

And provided offer of safe haven

And been ignored

You cant fix stupid

I no longer even try

[Poetry] I Nuke You

 By Emmit Other

I stubbed my toe and I is mad

I nuke you! I nuke you!

Putins nuky threshold very sad

I nuke you! I nuke you!

Stub his toe

Drop a nuke

Just a bad day?

Drop a nuke

Something didnt go his way?

Drop a nuke, 

Drop a nuke,

Why do we care bout anything you say?

Cause he got nukes

Prince Polonium is very cray

I nuke you! I nuke you!

Maybe he will die some day

i nuke you! It not true

i steal scythe from death himself

And hide with santa as an Elf

 I stubbed my toe and I is mad

I nuke you! I nuke you!

Putins nuky threshold very sad

I nuke you! I nuke you!
