Letter to Republicans by jake cosmos aller
Political Poetry writing prompt entry

Dear Republicans 

 

Lately the airwaves 

Of the Fox alternative universe 

Has been filled with pernicious nonsense. 

Uttered by all the pundits.  

And Republican leaders. 

 

The pernicious nonsense 

Is that, Comrade Kamala

and the entire Democratic Party 

Has been taken over by Marxists  

 

Determined to turn the US. 

Either into Cuba, Venezuela 

Communist China or North Korea. 

 

But oddly not Russia  

Who some believe now. 

Is our friend. 

 

Anyone alive  

For the last thirty years 

Knows that communism died. 

A long time ago. 

 

This is not 1955

it is 2024 

and communism has been dead

and buried since 1990.

There are no communists anywhere. 

Even in China, no one believes.  

In classic communism. 

 

And Harris may be many things. 

But a hardcore Marxist Communist  

Working to turn the US

into a communist country. 

Is not one of them. 

 

The only people who believe this nonsense 

Is the aging John Birchers?  

Who still screams about the communist menace? 

And perhaps a few aging left-wing radicals 

Who still believes in Marxism? 

 

So please just shut up.  

About communists.

And other imaginary bogymen. 



Writing Prompt
Write a political poem. Any type of poem that you wish.

Author Notes
The prompt was to write a political poem. One of my pet peeves is the constant claim among the right-wing that there are still communists that have taken over the democratic party -total none sense of course but they still trot out this tired old meme as it to scare people about the alleged communist threat.
