Premium Member Hillary Clinton

She is a White House witch and feminazi 
who rides her big broom like a kamikaze.
  The honesty test she fails,
  she lied about her emails
and covered up the truth about Benghazi!

War elephants and jackasses
with their endless stomping and braying
from Saigon to Afghanistan.

Siamese scripts depicting
blood for oil
death for profit
blood for lithium
death for "prophet".

From tricky dicky's Saigon saga
to  
Hidin' Biden's Afghanistan withdrawal debacle
to
Obama's sacrificial lamb ambassador in Benghazi
to 
Mr. Peanut's 444 days of terror in Tehran

(It's all been a horrible waste of time and flesh).

Nothing gained 
from a half-century of war
the grunts and the poor always pay
when terror regains the reins.

You cannot ever scrub clean the stains of a bad regime.

Premium Member Saigon Times

Why have we not opened our heart borders to the truly desperate,
To the men and women of Afghanistan
Who've fought long and hard for basic human rights,
Now we're leaving them behind in the shadows of wicked knives.

We've known for some time that Kabul would fall.
So why haven't we emptied our embassy yet?
Have we forgotten the hard lesson from Hillary's Benghazi?

Again, we've tried in jest to lipstick the bride of Frankenstein.
In vain we tried making her into a runway model. 
The devil wins yet again.

Joe, if you have one last flicker of light left. 
Don't leave our loyal friends and war dogs behind.
Like we did back in those bloody Saigon times.


Premium Member Ode To President Trump

Ode To President Trump

Benghazi fatal fiasco where four Americans and NOT illegal aliens met their fatal end and for that reason was the impetus of me casting my vote for him and not for her.
Trump is a businessman and by hook or crook, the American people and its economic future are stronger.
The impeachment vote falls along party lines with the House leaning left and the Senate leaning right.
I am guessing people are afraid to align themselves with somebody who is been demonized by Democrats, whereto, I am not. As I speak on behalf of the Republican party, I am unashamed but have due respect for those who choose otherwise, because we, Americans, have the freedom of choice and we should be proud and not waver along the fence of indecisiveness.
I and my working family who does not live on government handouts will vote for Trump again.
God bless the American people
God bless America

Hillary Rodham Clinton

Hillary  Rodham Clinton

She grew up with a man made itch
despite the fact there was a hitch
not to concede where men exceed
there was no time for mild refrains
she would get back in her domain

First Lady of a governor
First lady of a President
as Senator she used her skill
to lessen scandals with her Bill
until another came along

Secretary of US  States
she softened the Benghazi fear
in hopes to quell another scare
but never bending to the jeers
although she didn't have a care

She never would be President
too many rumors to expose
the Russians chose one in her place
she went from grace to a disgrace
the time to find another space

Thirty thousand email checks
she set a tone for womens sex
no longer would there be a hex
or virtual guns with all that smoke
not to cheat but just repeat

to judge her as a crafty pol
who played the songs she loved to play
but look at whose in charge today
he dug us in a deeper hole

Just Look Who She's Married To For Crying Out Loud

Should National Security be compromised from emails of privacy?
I say to you, NO it should not, but you can blame that darn Hillary!
Quid-pro-quo Clinton Foundation during ten years of Secretary of State,
spreading lies and deceit, so much controversy did she create.  
Failing to protect Americans about the nature of the Benghazi attack,
corruption to the severest degree, so much dignity she does lack. 
How about the “Uranium One Deal” with the Russians overseas? 
Intimidating women to stay quiet while her husband spreads disease. 
She has a “dead pool list” with strange disappearances and suicides, 
and then when confronted she runs like a spoiled baby and hides.
Seriously? Murdering babies at seven months in the womb?
Little do we hear about the people she has sent to a tomb!

No there’s nothing on earth that could make me earn her respect-
but after all, look who she’s married to…what more could I expect?

A slippery slope

Trump Boasting About Bridge

Trump Boasting About Bridge

Why is it that Trump always does refuse
To pay any of his mortgage and also dues
And tax returns always refuses to show
He is up to will not want you to know.

Trump's form is similar to of a fat toad
With figure impossible to ever forebode
And him it is always easy to see through
Also lies lying in him that grew and grew.

Grew so much until on impact exploded
Head with orange hair appearing corroded
Wants to be creative in each die he does try
And of them in basement is stored a supply.

His belief in God seems to be superficial
You see his name along with each initial
Have heard it was on display in Benghazi
Started show called Trump, Harriet and Ozzie.

To win, Trump decided to declare three trump
And when he bid all of us he sure did stump
The thing that had really torn everyone apart
In him and whole deck we never found a heart.

Modern English Most

Do use modern English most these days
If poems wanted to receive much praise
So of the game what must be the quirk?
Answer is Poetry Soup having a network.

Another secret will surely want to share
Two identical things are a perfect pair
Both flow together on natural course
And at same time each other reinforce.

When joined they are steady and sure
And at same Trump they can endure
Being ahead and not falling behind
Those two together blow your mind.

Sure and certain successful will be in end
Absolutely knowing what they do intend
Preside as perfect pair in White House soon
Not Trump who is a goon and a baboon.

Trump does have has Twitty Bird lips 
And his hair in wax he always dips.
With color orange hair will adorn
Way it was when he had been born.

This was meant to match with all of his
child like behaviour. Can you imagine him
Eleven hours before the Benghazi committee
explaining all of his bankruptcies and lies.
The Benghazi attack was Three PM EDT
Eastern Daylight Time not Three AM.
Hillary was wide awake. It was Trump 
who was taking his afternoon nap. 

Think about it.

Things that nauseate
Are Trump thinking he is great
How ill is his fate. 

What next will be his purpose
Became a three ring circus
On a losing quest.

Trump is having fun
At own game must be outdone
Warren is the one.

President should be
Someone loved by you and me
Who is Hillary. 

Especially now that Benghazi 
is off of her back officially.
Whole committee did agree.

Shame was not bipartisan.
A bunch of Republican men
Trying to do Hillary in.

Most Illusive

Most Illusive

Can thin spaces be created by a Priest
Closer to God and distance not increased
And about some things I must be blunt
Still trying to decide what I need and want.

What if for while longer I have to wait
For standup comedian to be a candidate
Which I really on occasion often heard
In Republicans existing in every word.

Listen very closely and are liable to hear
Their thinking reality is no where near
Are even starting a show of their own
And is called, "How to gripe and moan."

Hilary often has been beyond compare
Until there was the Benghazi affair
On computer had been webmaster 
Republicans turned into a disaster.

On and on and on could go and go
After a while you will eventually know
Much credit Republican  s we must give
About any subject are the most illusive.

Guess what? My back is all worn out
from patting it so much so I did decide
to write this poem. Can you blame me?

Of Terrors and Men

(TO THE VICTIMS OF WAR IN MY NATIVE
 CAMEROON AND IN NORTHERN NIGERIA)

Giants 
Have filled 
The FAR North
Sweeping
Bloodbathing 
With sophisticated 
Heavy weapons
Connected on a 
Barren land
Communicating
As from satellites,
Techniques and
Outfits of
The expedition
They got THERE
Thundering, 
Murdering, 
Raping, and 
Reaping
The scarce 
Bank notes kept aside 
To launch our economy
here.
The giants are   
Putting up stubborn
Resistance ready
To dismantle, 
Horrify, and 
Offer pretexts
For erecting another 
Benghazi or Mali, 
Somalia or 
The Sudans:
Growing poverty
Exile
On the desert
Migrations
Corruption
Legislations
Segregations
Falling soldiers
Suspecting the 
Innocents
Blackmailing
The weak.
Where are our 
White hope of 
The Opposition
And all the experts
On geopolitics?
Tell us whose war
Is it?

Premium Member A Bump In the Road

(Terrorist Attack-Benghazi 9/11/12)

The Navy Seals absorbed the brunt
of fire al-Qaida thugs bestowed
and died in battle near the front,

stood tall with courage to confront
a vile assault of bitter mode.
The Navy Seals absorbed the brunt

on rooftop stand, machine gun stunt,
a grim attack, defenders slowed,
and died in battle near the front.

As choked in soupy smoke, the hunt
for those alive, true effort owed,
the Navy Seals absorbed the brunt.

The dozens saved in rescue shunt
as teams of seals took up the load,
and died in battle near the front.

A callous chief then voiced it blunt,
and termed it as “A bump in the road.”
The Navy Seals absorbed the brunt,
and died in battle near the front.
