Unlawful

Guilty on all counts?
Raise the sickle and hammer.
Imprison the fighting patriot,
While the vile mumble and stammer.

Work, so you can be rich?
Your money you no longer own.
You'll own.nothing, be nothing,. Happy?
Maybe if you turn into stone.

Not venting. Disgusted that elected officials care more about filling their pockets, We can all make America sane again.

Love the passion and fight your lines fairly shout here, Hilda. What a sham trial. But let us be realistic for a moment. If these verdicts are not overturned, can we expect independents to ignore the pounding of the Biden campaign: "Are you going to vote for a convicted felon?!" Hoping the convictions are overturned soon, so that we can have a real election. ... We'll see.

I thought the Bar Association censured these guys. I guess it should go to the Supreme Court. These Un-American lawyers are trying to pull a Venezuelan coup. I hope voters remember that we need Senators and Representatives , as well.

Hilda, the sickle or hummer should function as emblems of toil. Nevertheless, the prominent persons converted it into a crime of deliberate homicide.

Sometimes toil and murder are similar, especially when a person works himself to death. Thank you for reading this poem which was written during a moment of duress.

Thank you for reading this. Some don't like it.

I'm so pleased with the verdict, but I fear nothing else will happen to DT. And, please, explain to me how a convicted felon can run for public office... especially that of President of the United States.

I wish I could control his mouth. He is good hearted and patriotic. The court had rules that are unconstitutional, but we may as well bury the constitution. After the four years, one way or another we will have newe people and a new set of problems. I've bounced back and forth on politics, but this is my country. There is no other. Thanks for your side of it. It helps to question.

I know...it is infuriating! Sad how the scum of humanity rules the surface waters. In my opinion, Trump is the best. He will not win the election -- fix is in in my opinion. He could get a hundred percent of the legal vote...and still would not win. Blessings my friend.

Thank you for your comment. The spoiled ones think it will make a better world. Wait until they find what they've lost. They already disrespect our flag.

The sickle and the hammer should symbolise work. But the powerful turned it into murder.

The worst thing about crooked judges is that they set a precedence. The changes, that are unconstitutional, now apply to you too. These people, I'm afraid , will eventually kill.
