‘Perfection’

The promise of the Preamble

Is nearing its fulfilment.

Thanks to the smartphone,

The more perfect union

Is being formed.

Every decision of Congress,

President, and Court

Is up for review

Through social media

Of the Facebook

And Twitter type.

Like or dislike -

The people rule.

The children, too:

The Twenty-Eighth

Amendment made it so,

The tyranny of age

Ended at last.

The will of all the people

Now wholly reigns supreme.

To promote the general welfare

The Twenty-Ninth Amendment,

Abolishing the old-fashioned farm,

With its burdensome toil

For beast and man,

Was easily approved.

Food factories that can produce

Meat and greens without sun and soil

Abound in every town

Of our great nation

Of innovation.

No one is sent hungry away.

But neither will he overeat,

For his DNA will say

What his calorie count must be.

To insure domestic

Tranquility, the herald

Of divine fulness,

Amendment Thirty,

Was added swiftly,

After the All-Faith Council

Declared that Jesus was Jehovah,

And Buddha, Allah, and the Tao,

Quetzalcoatl, Shiva,

And every other deity,

At Oprah’s Montecito ranch.

The new Pan-Christian faith

Is now officially promoted

By government spokesmen

And funded just as well,

The First Amendment

Having received its needsome revision.

We have learned the final truth,

You are God and devil both.

Make this hive your habitation,

And bring to us the final evolution.

Holy Ælfred the Great, King of England, South Patron, pray for us sinners at the Souð, unworthy though we are!

Anathema to the Union!
