Here is a poem I wrote many years ago that qualifies as Political Satire these days

Have I earned one more tomorrow

Is anyone happier because you passed their way?
Does anyone remember you spoke to them today?
The day is almost over, and toiling time is through,
Is there anyone to utter a kindly word of you?

Can you say tonight in parting
When the day has gone so fast,
That you helped a single person,
Of the many that you passed?

Is a single heart rejoicing,
Over what you did, or to them said?
Does the one whose hopes were fading,
With your help begin to look ahead?

Did you waste the day or use it?
Was it well or wisely spent?
Did you blaze a trail of kindness?
Or leave a scar of discontent?

As you close your eyes in slumber.
Do you believe that God will say,
"You have earned one more tomorrow,
By what you did this very day"?

This board is certainly full of people that should be asking themselves that question!

[td]Is anybody happier because you passed his way?
Does anyone remember that you spoke to him today?
This day is almost over, and its toiling time is through;
Is there anyone to utter now a kindly word of you?

Did you give a cheerful greeting to the friend who came along?
Or a churlish sort of "Howdy" and then vanish in the throng?
Were you selfish pure and simple as you rushed along the way,
Or is someone mighty grateful for a deed you did today?

Can you say tonight, in parting with the day that's slipping fast,
That you helped a single brother of the many that you passed?
Is a single heart rejoicing over what you did or said;
Does a man whose hopes were fading now with courage look ahead?

Did you waste the day, or lose it, was it well or sorely spent?
Did you leave a trail of kindness or a scar of discontent?
As you close your eyes in slumber do you think that God would say,
You have earned one more tomorrow by the work you did today?

Since there are no gods, I have a complex view of a reply. Not sure why this is satire today as many believe in gods etc. Many hope one day will be better. Many hope for an imaginary forever after but folks enjoy yourself now.

Whether you believe in god or not, this about good or bad in life and how you will be remembered or simply fotgotten

If you don't believe in a higher power, where does your moral code come from?

WASHINGTON, D.C. — According to several statements to the press, Democrats are outraged by the unprecedented political prosecutions of people not named Donald Trump.

The latest statements of outrage came after the Department of Justice announced criminal charges against Former FBI Director James Comey, who is not named Donald Trump. Several other politicians and bureaucrats, also not named Donald Trump, have also been referred for criminal charges for crimes they may have committed and Democrats say that is a big problem.

"The Department of Justice has been hijacked," said U.S. Representative Monica McIver, who has been charged with forcibly impeding a federal officer at an immigration detention facility. "This is the unprecedented weaponization of the Department of Justice against the President's own political enemies, diverting the department from its true mission which is to go after our political enemy named Donald Trump."

"Democracy dies when the Department of Justice can prosecute Democrats for crimes," warned U.S. Senator Adam Schiff, who is being investigated under suspicion of committing mortgage fraud. "Our name literally means we believe in Democracy. The President is weaponizing the Justice system to attack Democracy!"

At publishing time, Democrats had also unequivocally condemned political assassinations of all people not named Charlie Kirk.
