Republican Vampires Poem by Kevin Patrick

prowling in rallies on coffin soapboxes
they seduce starving spectators
with blinding fire and fury
raising their temperature gauges
into an adrenaline jury
Stirring the fears of mom and pop
of the global melting pot
and they sitting back and watch
like fats cats with a mouse
feasting on rage like Faustian prophets


See how they snare, with their magnetic flair
Hypnotizing words
through vain hollow rhetoric
filled with contortions of patriotic fever
and humane misdemeanors
Trivializing, while aggrandizing
bellicose braggarts with sermons of slaughter
all the while salivating
at their own ingenuity
of being the monsters running the mobs welfare


So feral, poised like Mephistophelian spawn
Cleverly, calculating the perfect mirage
Behind the firm handshake
That traps the easy steak
With a venomous rant about bleeding hearts
That subtly hits the easy marks
With dreams of cattle trucks for Mexicans
And slaughterhouses for all immigrants
Offering glory with marches to war
Filling hungry graves with flag waving pawns



They have refurbished dogma
Into a stake
And driving it down
into the swampland
of Americas heartland
making hatemongering homilies
Catered to fools
And Alt-right ghouls
turning passive suburban's
into picket fenced vermin
watching and waiting
to tuck their talons
Down the necks
Of the blind and faithful
Now wolves become the new shepherds


See their Liver spotted temples
hide the jelly brained deceivers
tailored in their grey suits
beneath the silk satin schemers
That hides their great depravity
Of Crepuscular harlotry
Where conscious is a derelict
And compassion is embalmed



And they will laugh in the face
Of the poor they engorge
Mocking and maiming
The meek that are purged
As the trim off the fat
of public healthcare
Back slapping tax breaks
To corporations on welfare
While pulling a smile
And stabbing your back
Filling their Bile's
on the voters they Snack
So you better tuck your necks
Before they cash your paychecks




Oh they are clever at masking their intentions
Shoulder strapped with confidence
Scheming for snake oiled riches
Always standing on a moral high ground
That's really a litter of all their victims
Politics is just their parlor trick
Meant to sucker punch another con
And they will retreat to their silver spooned crypts
Just like a snake or a Christian hypocrite



How can they preach of honesty?
When greed is their genotype
And their necrophile taxonomy
Is draped with stars and stripes


Republican vampires
Feast on fear
Republican vampires
Rape with smears
Republican vampires
Wear crucifixes
Republican vampires
Would eat Jesus
Republican Vampires
Have no spines
Republican vampires
Build money shrines
Republican vampires
Are the heads of state?
Republican vampires
Will meat their grave
