A Prayer to Our Outgoing Liberal Leader

A PRAYER TO OUR OUTGOING LIBERAL LEADER

Dear Smooth Certainty,
sweet release for Liberal liability,
we give You thanks
for assuaging our complicity,
helping us through this dark time
when we might have had to face
our active acquiescence
to the Dominion of Death.

You have blessed us with Feelings
of Bliss and Justice,
thinking equality is not only achievable
but it is now a Hope fulfilled.

You have swept us up
by Extraordinary Rendition
of our fragile Convictions.

We will miss the ambiguity
granted You by
oppositional obstruction
that has graced us
with the comforting
option of Righteous Indignation
easily proclaimed with concise verbosity.

We bless Your Name,
Barack Hussein Obama,
President of Proclaimed Progress,
Diadem of Deep Interests,
Grounding Guide of the Grafted Gullible,
Liberal Lord of Light.

Make a way for us now
to continue to walk in Your Way
through the turbulence
of truncated Truth.

Labyrinth of Blinding Light

LABYRINTH OF BLINDING LIGHT

Americans love mirrors
so long as what appears
to be looking back at us
is something we can cheer.
Exceptional without exception,
we have the best ways,

the most freedoms,
the fairest elections
sponsored by efficient corporations.
For our next phase
in overcoming the world’s malaise,
proving ourselves above the fray,

our smartest, industrious
global citizens have outsourced
some previously unthinkable,
but now welcome opinions.
Considering our history
of exporting and imposing

the most favorable conditions
upon backwards, uncivilized
substandard states and institutions,
it is only sensible that evaluations
are to be constructed and reviewed
by the peers of our powerful,

crafty, virtuous, patriotic leaders.
We can rest assured
in the knowledge
of our unblemished role
in providing necessary
protections for the world’s

sense of maverick order,
rules, and obvious laws.
With our labyrinths of mirrors
reflecting back flattering scenes
of heroism, romance, and geniuses,
we’ll remain big, strong, and tall,

capable of building the greatest walls
to ensure that from our city on a hill,
our precipice of skyscrapers
shining their beacon light,
and the grace of our mighty Lord

we shall never fall.
