Parade . . .

It’s a parade
A satire for oppression
Provocateur
To oversee dissection
Notoriety; a craving
Never ending ’til it’s quenched
But no sooner than accomplished
Viciously starting all over again

Just what we need
More hatred for a weapon
Follow the lead
Against your own discretion
Try offending this offender
At each opportune moment
Though there’s little chance of succeeding
Save who you can but survivors are few

Sure of your place
Certain of you own infamy
Confident of the position you hold
Should you expand magnanimity to fellow man
Loss of some acolytes
Is a price you suspect
You’re simply not able to pay

Then through it all
In disrepute emerging
You took the fall; a purging
Now the party days are over
You don’t have to check IDs
Hubris took you out with ease

Parade

A Parade . . .

. . . and a face . . .

It’s a parade
A satire for the oppressed
Provocateur to oversee dissection
Notoriety; a craving
Never ending
Til it’s quenched

Viciously starting all over again

A Face

Actually . . .

. . . Murray, about the statues . . .

In rebuttal to https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2016/aug/19/naked-donald-trump-statue-satire-ageist-body-shaming . . .

Regarding the five Trump statues, so let met get this straight, you feel 'NB' (a genteel designation based upon your own) is not good social critique through art because it gives way to "blind hatred that obscures their intent." Seems to me that any intelligent, fact-respecting citizen who has paid any attention to 'DT' (maintaining the MO), and how could they or any other citizens NOT-  thanks to all the free media attention he has managed,  has formed an opinion of DT that hovers somewhere in the 'don't care-for' range, and hopefully not quite as extreme as true hate. But that opinion is anything but 'blind.'

You say that the work's "slumpy, distended belly, withered buttocks and sagging pectorals, crosses callously into generalized ageism and body-shaming."  I do believe that even DT himself might characterize that description as a bit too "politically correct." My aging, a-Phelpsian body would certainly make a poor cover for Playgirl (does that still exist?), but I am far from offended by, don't forget that DT HIMSELF invited visions of his 'man-parts' into our consciousness at one of the Republican primary debates, the NB sculptures.

Let's face it, this man is seriously (I think) running for the presidency of the United States of America. He is a television 'personality' by definition. He purposely taunts persons and peoples with all the forethought of a corner-bar drunk. He is a free target. He belongs to the public. I, for one, think the sculptures were quite funny and clever.  Maybe the pieces are not Da Vincis, but I truly suspect the artist was never under any such delusion.

Ah . . .

. . . satire . . . 

(from http://www.dailykos.com/story/2015/12/1/1455773/-To-Bernie-Sanders-Supporters-From-The-Establishment-DNC)
". . . It has come to our attention that a few of you have been wandering outside of our giant, multicultural, comfortable tent. This comes as a complete surprise to us, because we have done everything imaginable to keep you complacent open our hearts and minds to your concerns and build a corporate funded oligarchy nationwide coalition of status quo responsible Democrats. . . Our success has been bought and paid for, and we’ll change our views faster than a Kama Sutra flipbook in order to keep it that way. . . Senator Obama was right in 2004 when he said there isn’t a Red or Blue America. There’s only a money fucking green America, and we have most of it. At least, on “our” side, we have most of it. . .  No one is going to vote for some really, really, really old socialist Jew from a state that doesn’t even have a professional football team. Political revolution by raising awareness and the general collective consciousness of the American people goes over like a fart in church when facing a well-established...erm...establishment. . . While you’re out there working your asses off, we’re still cashing checks and rigging both the media and the terms of the debates. . . And we’re literally banking on Bernie Sanders losing the primary so you’ll become just as jaded as we are.  Best Wishes,  Hillary Clinton and the DNC . . ."

Weird. . .

As if the real news isn't weird (and depressing) enough, the satire is even goofier.  And adding insult to injury, many people think it's real upon first glance.  Things like:

-Santorum's divorce
-Teen who only texts and rolls eyes to be euthanized
-School of arts seeks to transform boys and girls into insufferable young men and women
-ORCA Act ensures all food and medicine to be 100% GMO within four years

The internet is a wonderful thing.  It makes research and entertainment easy and convenient.
Just be careful not to confuse the entertainment with the research.
