Mamdani Baloney
The swamp is filled with creatures who insist
on solving problems that do not exist.
They manufacture crises all the time,
like claiming cops are causing all the crime,
or how pre-teens need urgent gender care,
and others of which no one’s yet aware.
They also manage somehow to resist
the urge to fix the problems that persist.
Their first resort is to the public purse,
but all their spending makes our problems worse.
Despite the money spent and how they’ve railed,
their wars on drugs and poverty both failed.
But truthfully, their fondest dreams consist
of power clenched in their collective fist.
They do so by ensuring they create
emergencies that all necessitate
that we will grant them more and more control,
so they can keep their bank accounts chock-full.
They smile and tell us all to coexist,
but those who disagree just get dismissed.
They’re empathetic and sound so sincere,
but nothing that they say is ever clear.
Their plans cause costs to rise, and crime to soar,
so We the People aren’t safe anymore.
Mamdani is the latest on the list
who seems shocked to be called a communist.
But if he gets elected, then his tune
will start to sound a lot like Kim Jong-un.
He’s privileged and really can’t relate.
He’s weak and can’t bench press a manly weight.
The lesson that mankind has so far missed:
Mamdani and his archetype exist
to brazenly betray supporters who
believe that pleasant lies are always true.
This will not stop till everybody knows
that Emperors like them don’t have on clothes.

Warren, this is a perfectly wrought poem on the politically misbegotten with Mamdani the candidate for emperor without clothes. You have some great lines and truthful observations nestled inside this gem. His malevolence is manifest and comparison to Kim Jong-un (despite his anti-police policies) is well stated, since he would wield any power like a dictator and milk the electorate like a milking machine set on high.
This is a terrific poem, Warren, and I’m deeply glad to see Mamdani skewered. He has earned it. I still cannot believe that New Yorkers could be so ideologically brainwashed that they would vote for a candidate who is so clearly contrary to their best interests. It’s a phenomenon. As for myself, I can’t even look at a picture of this man without being repulsed by his ever-present smirk — generated, no doubt, from his confidence in knowing that if the progressives are stupid enough to believe him then he can do anything he wants. Describing the elephant in the room might have hijacked your poem so I understand your not mentioning it… But there has never been a bigger antisemite in American politics that Mamdani who refuses to condemn Hamas and insists he will arrest Netanyahu if he ever sets foot in New York (defying Federal law and our absense of treaty with the ICC in the process.) And yet there are many Democrat Jews — probably a majority — who will vote for this vile communist hater. When Woke Progressivism replaces actual belief in God, all bets are off.
