The Overton Window or Go Forth Proudly Comrades Embracing The Position of Uncompromising Defense of the Proletariat …
…
Vox on Facebook
talked of the Overton Window
this very day,
its where basically
its necessary
to go to extremes
to get noticed,
to push for change,
to make things happen,
because the Window
of the Middle,
the Overton
as its called,
is the acceptable,
…
but to move that window
in the middle,
to enact change
to influence
you shouldn’t merely
be on the margins
of the acceptable
but on the outer
reaches,
the far, far reaches,
& thus
with this in mind
& in a humble effort
to propagandize amongst
my … oh … 20 readers or so,
here we go.
…
Because in a heartbeat,
a heartbeat I say,
the Koch brothers
would be re-educated
digging deep wells
in Flint Michigan
till they found pure
clean water.
…
Kobe Bryant’s wife
would have her
million dollar ring
expropriated & broken
down for drill bits
to use in the digging
of Flint wells by the
Koch brothers.
…
Trump Tower would be
occupied and stripped
of all its false veneer
while Barron’s gold
baby carriage would
take pride of place
in The People’s Museum
of The New Dawn &
groups of school children
would field trip to marvel
& learn.
…
Fox News executives
would be arrested along
with Limbaugh, Hannity
a multitude of talk-show
hosts as enemies-of-the-
people & re-educated
digging canals from the
high Rockies through to
San Luis Obispo to help
water the farms which
would now be unionized
& minimum waged & there’d
be taco trucks on every
corner for free workers
lunch & luxury campers
for naps from the burning
midday sun.
…
History lessons would
be for real this time,
buffaloes would be
encouraged mightily
to breed and roam the
western lands where
Indian tribes would
return to pastures
of old & they’d house
themselves in teepees
hand-sewn by bankers
& hedge-fund managers
lodged in converted
L.A. mansions with armed
guards for the duration.
…
The NRA leadership
would be hog-tied &
immediately put to work
in foul prison conditions
producing ploughshares
from swords in blazing
merciless kilns & every
Sunday they’d be cuffed
& ‘compassionate-leaved’
to the closest cemetery
where they’d visit the
graves of the fallen
children & granmas
taken by ricochets.
…
Prisons would use
psilocybin cure-alls,
golf-courses would
become adventure
petting-zoo play
grounds,
& for last
for now …
Syrian children
would be invited,
with much a to-do
& pomp & circumstance,
to move into
newly liberated
Hampton beach-side mansions.
…
There …
how’s that
to be
going on with,
just for starters.
