ALIENS

Twenty Eleven

Sounds a little sci-fi-ish

Aliens are here.

Yes, they have been living among us, trying to

blend in, wearing blue oxford cloth shirts and

striped ties, sporting stiff smiles and fake tans.

They pretend to be "of the people" and to care

about real people things, but it is all a

pretense to cover up their alien agenda. Under-

neath their wax-like exteriors are cold hearts

that beat slowly and out-of-sync with the pulse

of the people. Hateful, spiteful, veangeful they

spew out vitriol-loaded verbiage and praise

acts of inhumanity and insensitivity. They

watch those unlike them and caste aspersions

freely using lies and deceit as a shield. If

you come across one, nod your head in assent,

act casual and back away from the words,

"liberal", "progressive", "choice", "universal

health care", "gay rights", "global warming",

"peace". They are the Republican thugs voted

back into the majority position in Congress

by a citizenry reeling from amnesia.
