Just Folks

by Paul Lojeski / August 3rd, 2014

O finally admitted
we’d tortured some
“folks” a while back.

He actually called
victims of torture
‘folks’ as in, we

moseyed on down
to the ice cream
store where we met

a bunch of folks
from out of town
or as in those folks

out in Nebraska sure
do love their football.
Or as in most folks

I know think O is
a lying lackey of war
profiteers and Wall

Street thugs like those
other good folks you
all know, the Clintons.
