He’s a very famous shell-man.
Who thought he was coated with teflon.
Can a narcissist be taught a lesson?
By him, the prosecutor and judge were threatened,
could the legal system withstand his aggression?
Yeah, his guilt was proven beyond question,
and now a 34-time convicted felon.
What’s he going to tell poor little Barron?
I doubt the judge will send him to prison,
but there are still some outstanding questions.
Like will his followers shake their obsession?
Will craven Republicans still nominate him?

The prior POTUS, and current SCOTUS,
Have caused a great deal of debate.
While many wonder of our democracy,
And its survival amidst all sorts of hate.
This has given our congressional body,
Little room to discuss and legislate.
Since they are so far apart on most issues,
Their views can't meet to regulate.
So as these 3 branches of our government,
Appear damaged and needing repair.
A once powerful republic with its voters,
Are in a fight to decide what is fair.
What is most frightening about this conflict,
Is that the majority isn't favored, as in the past.
As those numbers counted present different totals,
And those sums seem to waver as they're cast.
Such damage gives only to division,
A widening chasm for truth to cross.
While candidates throw their sticks & stones
Though a few look more like a crime boss.
Throughout the many years of this nation,
Its greatness was beyond question, until now.
Yet one man's delusion displays its legacy,
That must be defeated, so all can disavow.

Red rays paint the sky,
every minute colors change;
Our hearts slowly sync;
Within the shadow of night
the flow’s constant, easy;
Panoramic gaze,
gold curtains lift on the stars;
Natural limelight
bathes the buzz of eager eyes
revealing all of their pizazz;
So very potent!
Captured by a tractor beam
ever glowing vibes;
Forcefulness beyond question;
Perfect sunset here with you.

Born fully human,
more fully Divine
Our Savior upon us,
existence sublime
The sum of three persons,
all persons as one
His love in the mystery
sent down from above
A choice beyond question,
its truth beyond fact
All faith in transcendence
—unsetting the trap

Undoubtedly, my appearance comes as no surprise
I know, beyond question, beyond a shadow of a doubt
I am a vagabond, a place to place traveler, a wanderer
I had a job- I quit
I had a home- sold it
I had money- donated it...to the mortgage company
My wife- gone
My children-gone
Even my dogs- gone
My heart, soul, thrive and want- gone
Want, what I want is the only thing I wanted for the past five years
Not a job
Not a home
Not even money
What I want, is my dream
A bottle of cheap whiskey
A cigar, any flavor will work
And a warm cozy patch of grass
So that I can watch one last sunset
Then, close my eyes forever
To sir with death

My Dad always said
Better to win by being the better man
Than by default
Because your opponent
Caved
Otherwise although you won
There will always be a nagging doubt
That victory was empty
Because your opponent beat himself
And to reach the top shelf
To put the result beyond question
You have to know
You won fair and fair
And not by default

I stood beside a window not my own
A glorious perch from where before me stretched
outside a fortunate friends most lovely home
the finest sight that nature ever etched
I marvelled at horizons far beyond
and every wonder between the here and there
and with a gasp of breath that filed my lungs
could do no more than stop in place and stare
the lights that blinked and glittered through the city
the white tips of the mountains stretched behind
every inch so fine and pure and pretty
that even now it haunts my waking mind
I turned towards my friend to offer envy
that they were blessed to see this sight each day
and with a start I realised with amazement
their focus was turned carelessly away
In that moment I came to a decision
That of the many things I'll someday do
One mistake I never plan on making
Is live too long in somewhere with a view
For life is filled with wonders beyond question
and sights that in your heart always remain
and few things are more tragic than the moment
when a thing of beauty shifts to be mundane.

Noble is the freedom that crowns jewels
A thousand dreams awakens in each new day dawning
The gift of giving and receiving loves antidote with truth
Each day passing humbly accepting such blessings
The voice of reason speaks our guardian belief
Each and everyone of us hear the Echoing inside song
Ocean waves turn warmly touch cotton without malice sing
The smallest gesture softly held within a smile lights up
Loving is living with everything becoming beautiful sparkles
Hate becomes dead cast aside worthless rag
Moving out of darkness in light we see direction horizons beam
A future rolls out the carpet of life sometimes lost
Before the eyes standing with grace to cherish
an angel adoring unconditionally melts ore golden strings tug
A sacred place holds deep treasure inside the chest beating fondly
playing one diamond ring castle keeper turning keys tune
Shining jewels behind the vision taken sparkling
beyond question of doubt never losing faith
Forever more at destiny's gate peace holding you
The feather floats upon a breath landing breathless kiss

What if I told you I meant it,
What if I rolled over and played dead,
What if I knew this was the only way that I knew your heart would get fed,
I've always known you were a digger, and that this would do the trick,
It would make you stand up to question things in your heart ignored to fix,
Call me what you will, but my heart could not stand the deception,
The compassion I felt was very real for you, and you know that that goes beyond question,
You toyed with my heart and I forgive you and all the lies you told me,
I knew in my heart this wasn't who you were, and by no means was meant for my glory,
Love can make us do things we normally wouldn't do, touching our hearts in different ways,
Even when it means sacrificing our own comfort in order for them to be saved.

Best lines lead through beautiful,
Like dawn between the clouds.
Uttered as something whimsical,
Accidently spilled out loud.
Beans bouncing from the counter top,
Tinkling like laughter uncontained.
The best lines need never stop,
Forever unrestrained.
Coloured lights and starry eyes,
Like riding a balloon,
The best lines make you realise,
You’ll find perfection soon.
The best lines are true lines,
Beyond question, beyond doubt,
The best lines are simple lines,
That just have to be let out.
