I Am Anaya Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Lucre= lu·cre  [looker]  The demolishing of the East Wing of the White House began on this day of October. The President of the United States took upon himself to bulldoze with no permissions.  He is a temporary resident & this is his own vanity project.  The Ballroom will overwhelm the White House. This is a sacred place & not his place to make this a golden palace. Horrific!

The Devil's East Wing

Shutdown Day 21

The White House
                                       
Demolishing what was supremely notable
A wrecking of a Ship Of State unseemly quotable 
East wing amidst the devils wings
A First Lady has in it blingy things
Like Blackbeard’s filthy lucre
The sea's treasure troves hook her
Taken the cargo of what it once stood for
Torn apart brick by brick a democracy we implore 
Left is nothing but its shell
Fill it with devils’ gold and chime your bell

The Ballroom

Is it he and his faithful spouse
recreating a King’s Palace madhouse
How she yearns for a ballroom
A yearning for a youthful—not for a content trophy groomed
His words we could hardly construe
Music to his ears nonetheless he’ll delude
that the funding be all His,
certainly not the people’s that is
You can’t pull the wool over His subjects' eyes,
sprinkling a few pennies about—not our millions He lies

Ring The Alarm

Authoritarianism is here! Enforcing obedience 
to authority at the expense of freedom with fear
Because He shreds the Constitution
Should He be granted some royal absolution?
Or let Him be the mad King George the Third
and declare Him unfit but fated to rule the herd
Bulldozing our regret
For His Marie Antoinette 
Already losing their heads
Over (meaningless) shreds
Loyal is His henchman Ingrassia,
who evokes his Nazi streak of nausea
Wishing MLK Jr’s holiday to the circle of hell
As a Vice President shrugs his shoulders and sighs oh well
Whistleblowers you best beware,
This nominee bidder does not care

The People’s House

Tis isn't the modernization which rankles me,
it’s non-participation or permissions by the free
He molests  ‘Our House’ —His temporary abode
Let our defiance find strength and our resolve unfold

Hmm God alone will know the truth there.' And He will out it.' Look up my writes Clausie little and Klausie little 2 Do you know he's under investigation for the type of behaviour i wrote of 1st off? In the 2nd write i tell exactly how it went down for me..I was told write what you want..And it be be..I still am trying to get my brain around it now..' All Glory must go to God.) All blessings btw.' I Am Anaya November 6, 2025 at 10:47 AM How right you are! Hypocracy is the coin of the realm. A politician's #1 job is to get elected and do awful things undetected! The truth may be inconvenient, but we must face it sooner or later. Now, transparency is most important, as our present leader excluded the (D)'s only the (R)'s were informed before the attack on what he assumes are cartel narco trafficers. He still has not provided any evidence. Pray they are!

Anne-Lise Andresen October 23, 2025 at 1:54 AM - A man who does as he pleases... (who's stopping him...) - He's chosen by "the people"... it wasn't an unknown man... now he wants to dance in style, Anaya - hugs I Am Anaya October 23, 2025 at 8:09 AM Y e s, this true, people voted for Mussolini & Hitler as well, they put them in with votes & had to get them out with bombs! We must keep speaking out, Lise. Not even our votes shall count with his re-drawing our congressional maps (gerrymandering). Is it too late? A tacky ballroom he makes while he takes our government paychecks! xhugs ~

Robert Gorelick October 22, 2025 at 1:20 PM You have demonstrated your integrity and unwavering loyalty to your moral compass. Three cheers for you and other unbowed souls who will *march into hell for a heavenly cause. *From Man OF La Mancha! I Am Anaya October 22, 2025 at 4:35 PM Cheers, Robert! I'll muster up courage to post the atrocities but dear poet, there is still hope. Ty for such an honorable review~

Paige Hind October 21, 2025 at 4:26 PM I am a bit worried about the direction the government is taking also. We had a demonstration in my city this week. I am surprised they are even allowed that. :/ Paige Hind October 21, 2025 at 6:33 PM I did a little explaining for you about my last poem, under your comment. xhugs Paige Hind October 21, 2025 at 6:32 PM Oh, awful!! I Am Anaya October 21, 2025 at 4:39 PM Ah, Paige I didn't write this to scare you or anyone else, just make you aware that you are correct--things aren't gonna go well for the people. He shall rid of Affordable Care Act (ACA-Medical care for 65 & under) on Nov. 1 & Food Stamps for the true needy! There is a lot more my sweet poet, I don't want you to worry but, not even your vote, perhaps won't count due to GERRYMANDERING :/ he'll swallow it up by re-writing our maps! Thank you for stopping by! xXhugs
