emanating from

and warp blast through

#penned by the slick demagogue

on all hatred influencer outlets

of fear and prejudice

to spread ancient toxins

An easily digestible
How To guide
for bigoted participants
to regurgitate
and spread the ancient poisons
passed down through the generations

Karma awaits these cretins
with the violence they perpetuated

I spend way too much time sitting in my garage, smoking cigarettes, smoking marijuana, and drinking wine. Only to post nonsense #thoughts into a void empty of humanity. Maybe it's the wine talking? Or a new level of inebriation has kicked in.
