DEATH

We cater to death's appetite
We seek ways to satisfy death:
Hang them; shoot them; 
Gas them; blow 'em up.
Throw them from a tenth floor 
    window to see that is 
    high enough for them to die.
Death is so fascinating. 

Fire up the armaments factories!
Pass out the guns.
(Death is still hungry.)

Burn them; drown them;
Stomp them; starve them.
Put them in chains
    and see how long
    it takes for death to feed.
Fascinating. 

QUIXOTE

Democrats (and many Republicans) 
    fear another Trump presidency
    like the plague.
Yet, they seek to send a doddering
    81-year-old man to save the day.

Only the aged Don Quixote
    astride his steed, Rocinante -
    lance fixed, as he charges at
    windmills he fancies are dragons -
Is more ridiculous than Joe Biden.
