A Government of Merovingians, by Merovingians, and for Merovingians

 

John LeCarre’ asks what you owe to your country when you no longer recognize it.

 

-cover blurb, Silverview

 

Inadequate klansies in gas-station shades

Bullhornistas polluting the civic peace

Q-Anonsters lurking behind their screens

Purported patriots hiding behind their masks

 

Doxers sneaking and spying like Milton’s Satan

Gollums clutching their “My Precious!” black rifles

Censors memory-holing literature and art

Anti-Communists Communisting our lives

 

Drug gangs and firebombs, looters and spies:

This is a nation no one can recognize



(So work, vote, volunteer, and, as Mr. Churchill said, never give in.)
