The 2nd Trump Presidency Begins

To express my own Whitmanesque
"barbaric yawp", constrained by
internal (and external) barriers,
mentally constipated, I merely mutter,
feel pressures steadily mounting.
Hesitant, I expel grunts and breaths --
disinhibit streams of consciousness,
encourage verbal fluidity, ease
the heaviness I feel, the weight
upon my chest.  I breathe deeply.
Physiological processes require
tiring conscious effort.  I decide
to be calm, to

Ashes, Ashes

Ashes, Ashes, Flames all around
And remnants of our lives are scattered
Upon the crackling, smoking ground.

Our hopes and dreams buried in the rumble,
Lost are the things that we thought measured our lives.
Nothing left but our memories.  It cuts like a knife.

We trusted our treasure, our futures, our dreams
Into the hands of a criminal who is

Fascists

Fascists today are those who label others fascists.

As Hayek said long ago,
“Fascism is the stage reached after communism has proved an illusion.” 
And there are certainly a lot of commies,
at least the wannabe idealistic kind, today
that are upset, in denial or clueless 
that their cause is a failure.

Mao and Stalin spent years taking turns calling

How Woke Won

While we were sleeping
Snug in our beds
Lost in our dreams
A black spirit stole across the land
And by dawn had merged with every shadow

When we awoke
We took for granted the lingering critical sensibility
- as if awaking with a hangover
from the spectacular successes and excesses
of our civilization –
And before our morning cup
Could clear our heads
Had embraced this

Fleckfieber 1940 Typhoid Outbreak 1940

Warsaw 1940 certain inhabitants designated
A health risk were ordered to strip naked
Had to shower to become clean this ploy
Caused public humiliation, and showed
Dominence there was also mass quarrantine
Also to your own house that was
Useless in its 'so called mission' 
And in fact caused a rise in infection
As the immune systems of people
Lowered due to length

Current Events Knelling

** Current Events Knelling **


Ignorance and evil remain — it’s easy to tell —
Around the world, still alive and well
No matter how much we pray, scream and yell,
“Please!  Learn something from history, not pell-mell,
Before those ego’s ideas devour us all cell by cell.

Turnt

Percolating, who  we,  I’m  just  relating
Relaying the  conveying of  alarming  apex
Son’s getting  hotter,  sending  flares, scorching heirs
The roof  is  on  fire,  but  folks serving  gas in meme
Unleaded or maybe I’m  just  fed  up  in 

The Middle

This isn't the middle the beginning or the end
This is the middle of the beginning of the end
acting like children 
Don't try to pretend
you can't see
  The hidden agenda 
within 
They're telling us lies
and feeding us sin
Structurally damaged 
you're letting them win 
Unite we must
Divided we bend
In God we trust
Despite our skin
Freedom and Just
we will

Putin

Putin
They started it let the cat out of the bag
It's in a ferocious mood after being confined
Imagine how you'd feel kept in a tied-up sack
Now the feral cat wants revenge and gets it
Rampaging this way and that killing eating
Quenching its blood lust till spent
Not stopping till the job is done
And the cat is at peace
No

Truly

*** Truly? ***

As Trump continues trying to explain,
And science will truly someday 
Get it right to prove:
That life is a matter of enchantment,
That mirrors do know
  Who is the fairest of them all;
 That any “Save the Earth” green 
Movement is voiced by the devil,
Because it’s his realm afterall
And the Earth is here to

Overload

Fire raged through heavy wooded terrain,  
Blizzard hit the panhandle hard,   
Bad windstorm slammed the western plains,   
Mudslides hid hundreds of backyards.   
 
Brutal sandstorm swept through arid plains,   
Fierce  hurricane aimed at the Keys,      
Havoc descended on tornado lane,

On Sunday mornings 
I like to relax and read 
the new newspaper.

He Came To Them In Sheep's Clothing

One day an evil man came to them in sheep’s clothing,
To lead them into his evil ways he was hoping.
So treacherous and evil was this ravenous wolf,
Feeding off of their ignorance while he played golf.
So fine he was in the art of deception,
So ignorant were they with their perception.
This wolf led them towards hate, anger,

Biden Rolls

Ol’ Biden wins south!
They come rally to his side,
Bernie Bros goodnight!

My Latest Current Events Poetry

Trump like Pinocchio lied and nose did protrude,
And many people it appeared he would delude;
Even we knew,
Scheme up brew;
With jaundiced eye witnesses and rivals viewed.

We wonder who next by Trump would be fired;
He desired another nitwit that should be hired;
Would you believe,
Again did deceive;
Of hearing him, we have become very tired.
