That Should Prevent Any Further Outbursts

It has been made official.
The elite,
Once referred to as politicians...
Have now declared,
Violent acts commited by 'nuts'...
Those a notch up from disgruntled.
And reflecting a decadent society...
Will be regarded as distasteful!

And after psychiatric studies,
Have, indeed...
Been successfully completed,
By hand picked medical experts...
To determine the origin,
Of such embarrassing behavior...
Let it be known,
That this day and this day forward...
All flags will be lowered to half mast,
To declare our national outrage.

'Now...
That should prevent any further outbursts,
Of civil disobedience.
It has been officially decreed,
We will no longer tolerate such insolence.'

~Horace,
I must say this.
I loved that suit.
The one you wore,
Upon making the announcement.
It looked as if it had been recently tailored.
Was it? ~
