Bitter Tea Party

Cameras roll

Choreographed mob scene
raging out of control
as the angry dragons
fan the populist flames

Preaching their brand
of political anarchy
to the dysfunctional party
who line up dutifully
to receive their poison
from the Mad Hatter
pouring arsenic tea
into their cracked cups

All the while
the sideline pundits pontificate
their psycho babble nonsense

As if one can analyze rage
in our rapidly collapsing
us against them age
