THE PRESIDENT NEEDS TO BE A PSYCHOPATH

THE PRESIDENT NEEDS TO BE A PSYCHOPATH
by matt burns

Drones hit targets
Two innocent Americans die
Obama apologizes
Later that day the Patriots visit the White House
Superbowl champions, we commend you!
Obama is calm, cool and collected
Cracks jokes
He's bold enough to joke about deflate-gate
Blood is on his hands!
I would have broken the fuck down
No President has ever really broken the fuck down
The President must be able to shut out feelings
The President must not mourn
He must not empathize
In short
He must be psychopathic

Two days later, riots break out in Baltimore
Nobody really knows what happened to Freddie Gray
Including Obama
But the President still sends a delegation to the Freddie funeral
People instantly forget about the drone mishap
The dog has been wagged
Obama's a hero again

ISIS ISIL EEEZEL BEEELZE BUB

“Everyone thinks of changing the world,

but no one thinks of changing himself.”

ISIS ISIL EEEZEL BEEELZE BUB

by matt burns

Yesterday it was Al Qaeda

Today it’s Isis

There will always be that threat

That’s out there somewhere

The vague beastie lurking somewhere on the island

Putting fear inside all of us

And somebody will always exploit that fear

The Lord of the flies

And the Lord will use it to rule us

Manipulate us

Control us

Just like those boys on that island

There will always be an external threat

There always has been

Always will be

There will never be NO threat

So what can you do?

Worry all the time?

Or just mind your own business

Focus on yourself

And forget about the world

The Lord of the flies is cunning

He wants us to focus on the world

Pull us out of ourselves

For a perpetual amount of time

Focus on the Russians!

Cold war over, now focus on Al Qaeda!

Al Qaeda’s weakened

Now focus on Isis!

Isil

Eeeeezel

Beeelze

Bub

What will the next beastie on the island be after Isis?

There will inevitably be one

One distraction follows the other

If you watch the news

There seems to be a beastie of the week

To terrorize us

Everybody thinks about changing the world

But the world can’t be fully changed

There will never be total peace out there

Not on our planet

Not within our species

But there can always be total peace inside you

Change you

Don’t change the world

Everything on the outside

Somewhere

Out there

All those beasties

That you hear about

But never really see…

It’s all an illusion

Created by the Lord of the flies

To build up fear

That destroys your insides

And destroys your soul

But if you retreat into yourself

And tune out what’s outside

The fear weakens

And the Lord loses his power

And he withers away

And dies

And then

Maybe

Comes

The world peace

If there is ever a possibility for world peace

It’s going to start on the inside

Not on the outside
