The Sound of Children Screaming Has Been Removed
a poem and a warning about Project 2025
The Ten Commandments in the classrooms
Aren't going to save your kids from bullet wounds.
The GOP's too busy bearing false witness,
Worshipping a despot felon with a shitlist
Of all the inhumane things he wants to do.
/
Project 2025...
The manifesto before your eyes
History doesn't repeat,
But it sure does fucking rhyme.
/
The sound of children screaming has been removed...
They don't give a single fuck about any of you.
The sound of children screaming has been removed...
Don't think for a minute they won't come for you.
/
They won't stop at trans people and drag queens,
They plan to attack single mothers and minorities.
They want to take your children away if you approve HRT,
They'll indoctrinate kids under their twisted white Christian creed,
They'll torture a generation just to spite their enemies.
/
Project 2025...
Look it up and learn.
They want to take away everything...
And watch this whole country burn.
/
The sound of children screaming has been removed...
They don't give a single fuck about any of you.
The sound of children screaming has been removed...
Don't think for a minute they won't come for you.

To all the red-hatted bigots still hailing their Führer...
This isn't going to be a utopia because you're now the workers.
Conservative women will be forced into the kitchen -
Oh, did you really think you would be the exception?
You'll finally learn how much they don't give a shit...
When you're worked to the bone but you can't even quit.
You'll be expendable labor, a slave latched to the grindwheel...
How's that "bootstrap" talk work now that you're under the bootheel?
/
Project 2025...
Be aware.
Fascism doesn't happen all at once,
But we're almost there.
/
The sound of children screaming has been removed...
They don't give a single fuck about any of you.
The sound of children screaming has been removed...
Don't think for a minute they won't come for you.

Wild Card Weekend Recap: What Happens Now?
I think I figured out why I love Wild Card Weekend so much. It's because it's the first playoff anything of the calendar year. The NFL season starts in the fall, and once upon a time, the champion was crowned either on or slightly before New Year's. The evolution of the NFL schedule has resulted in the playoffs starting just into the New Year, and currently, the final week of the season falls on the first weekend of the New Year, with Wild Card Weekend coming a week after that. So yes, chronologically, the NFL's Wild Card Weekend serves as the first playoff anything of the calendar year.

I like your poem. Although, I don't agree with everything said. I can respect the fact it was said. Learning and understanding the opposing side to political preference, could potentially find common ground within the government and the people. Sadly, the people only say who's wrong and who's right.
