On April 21, 2026, America's Mis-Leader
read from the King James Version Easy Reader
(a Bible version much discredited
because it is so poorly edited).
"The Bible? Okay, let me see.
I'll read something from
the Book of 'Dude-you-wanna-me'
and then, uh, well,
I'll do a little bit
from 'Two Chronic Elves'.
I'll celebrate all my huge successes
by reading a passage from "Echo siestas',
then I'll announce
my next war decree
and come back to read from
the Book of 'Do-a-neuter-on-me'!'

Imperfect and tainted, accusations enters one's mind
vividly actions create reactions. Misleading someone to
accepts one's plots?
Blaming, discredited and exposed playing the victim this
mental weight is heavy with balls and chains holding hostages.
Blaming, placing the blame on another, constant manipulation
shifting gears uncontrollably head games in full effects, and
those chameleon like patterns unravels yet in denial continuously
blaming.
This just in,
earth is careening toward an asterisk,
speeding toward a footnote,
alien podiatrists are monitoring.
Elephants have moved in-land
refusing interviews to the press.
In other news,
sinkholes have been rescued
from children’s ears.
Cyclonic swirls of pelicans
have created a weather front
scientists are stumped.
Excuses from discredited experts
have been spotted
escaping back to Beijing.
Nothing may actually be true
except for the asterisks,
these random star-shaped symbols
are always a tease, a risk,
Someone might misinterpret them,
call them misinformation.
found him in mine thoughts
cherishing my drought
thirsty was my heart
pleasured was those parts
enhanced over joyed
gatherings discredited
hated and abated
misconstrued unseen unviewed
callus love unfound deluded
embraced unalloyed
enhanced with invisible cloy
Love of lavender
thirsty was my heart
pleasured was those parts
she found him
she saw him
she found him
and they both were lost

FARE-THEE-WELL TO RACISM:
I was really discredited in my own state,
However my lips don't annihilates.
Merely I lost my sentiment,
When I was treated with contempt.
Maybe you don't really understand this.
But anytime you also receive a diss,
You retaliate based on your feelings,
And you see it to be your healing.
Yet,what's wrong when my eyes speaks,
After you've made my heart bleed?
Is it wrong for me respecting you,
As an imperfect fellow human,
Or should I treat you like a pretty fool,
For you to say I'm very inhumane?
Frankly,unity is the beautiful clue,
That my heart beat for...as a truelove,
Only to make the world a fine place,
For us to have one big divine faith.
A divine faith to eradicate hatred,
The hatred that turns us into aliens.
Aliens that love and promote racism.
Which breeds wars and favoritism,
Through competitions and religions,
That lacks values and core reasons.
Is it wrong for my cutis being black,
And yours being white?
If No,why are we shedding blood,
In this unnecessary multiracial fight?
Please the world needs to stand as one,
To achieve the peace that we aspire.
Words fail me
illogic sickens our world
as we’re caught in the
dystopic distemper
of our times.
The ice cube’s melting
the waters rising,
yet our house burning
as this ill wind blows
nobody no good
and that puff of LA breeze
only spreads the stench
of viral victims.
Our future discounted
by doubting Thomas deniers
prophets of false truths
doubling down on
discounted discredited lies
whilst the cryptocurrency
of insurrection warps
once patriotic minds.
Words fail me.
Impeached, indicted, discredited, expunged,
Forsaken and little short of being hanged,
Does the punishment truly fit the crime,
Inciting sedition and for that I need do time?
Are they crazy or simply deaf,
Do they think I work for UNICEF,,
A do-gooder, a kind hearted soul,
The kind of man to pigeonhole?
I'm a maverick, a crusader at heart,
The one to lead, feats to start,
I change the world it doesn't change me,
I push and I pull, won't let things just be.
So someone please tell me where I went wrong,
Was I not trusted to be valiant and strong,
To Shake the tree, purge that swamp,
On bureaucracy and waste simply stomp?
Build the country, cut to the chase,
Squash every foe, win every race,
And now what, have I've gone too far,
Plunging to earth like a falling star?
Give me a break, cut me some slack,
I did a great job, the country's on track,
Save for this Covid all would be fine
All other Presidents would I outshine.
Don't undervalue, don't underrate
I'm the one man you can't just abate,
Count me out at your peril, think I’ll retire,
For those that have crossed me, their future is dire.
All things good and va-a-aluable,
all progress great and small,
all folks small and ma-a-alleable,
the Dark Lord ate them all.
Defied the constitu-u-ution
launched media attacks,
abated persecu-u-ution,
of Mexicans and Blacks.
Colluded with the Ru-u-ussians,
told 15,000 lies,
shrugged off the repercu-u-ussions,
discredited his spies.
Caused economic ru-u-uin,
impeded world trade.
’Twas all the Dark Lord’s do-o-oin’
and hence — this here tirade.
Who paid off shady la-a-adies
and claimed he knew them not?
He’ll rot for this in Ha-a-ades
and lose the wealth he’s got.
Who tried to pressure Co-o-omey
till Comey blew the lid?
Made Alex Jones his ho-o-omey?
The Lord of Darkness did!
Discarded Kurdish re-e-ebels —
that bloated, thievish leech! —
as if they were just pe-e-ebbles
on Mar-a-Lago’s beach.
I could go on fore-e-ever
with my remarks so snide.
I’ll call it quits, howe-e-ever.
Let history decide.
NB. To the tune of the hymn "All Things Bright and Beautiful" (1848)
Trust In God-An Acrostic
Term fellowships grant undoubting reverence
Rational credences distrust, mistrust
Unconditional credences reverence
Superstitious credences discharge, in God we trust
Tentative guesses become align with His Kingdom
Infidelities serve belief in forgiveness
New credences guess, in God we trust
Gross infidelities swear God already forgiven
Obvious merits deserve grace observed
Derivative instruments discredited confession devotion merited

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr. ©2019
One too many bouts of drunkenness
A life of bright promise, made a mess
DUI tickets all over the place
His portrait drawn, a clown's face
His wife -- his Laura-- gave him a reprieve
Thus, determined, he went off to work
To shed the label of "big drunken jerk"
He stopped the drinking and started thinking
His sworn duty he did not shirk
Raised for a life of public service
He'd made those he'd served a little nervous
But in November of the historic year '2000'
He punched his ticket to the White House in...
An election that literally hung by a chad
Which made some folks glad, others quite mad
That a fellow they'd once roundly maligned
For drinking too much beer and wine
Thanks to God's grace and his wife Laura's
A model of decency and compassion had become
~ His predecessor in office, a discredited bum
Perhaps not the greatest President of our time
Arguably the most decent: George W. Bush, Jr.
When it comes to sport
Memory is notoriously short
Tennis great Jimmy Connors was 'the brat' when teen-aged
By his late thirties, his star ascended, he was all the rage
His rival, John McEnroe, young and precocious
Had a temper to match -- fiery, ferocious
Now a network analyst, admired and respected
From his mouth only 'pearls of wisdom' are projected
Then there's Tiger, the mighty golfer, Tiger Woods
Who cheated on his lovely wife every way a man could
Disgraced and discredited, he landed in jail
His name and his game gone, no wind in his sail
Yet here we are, a few years later, in 2018
Seeing Tiger's face every day on our TV screens
Playing golf again with panache and verve
Millions wildly cheering his muscular curves
What is it here that should really irk-us?
We forget these guys are nothing but jerks
Chances and choices to grow
Chances and choices to taste
Chances and choices to blow and throw
Chances and choices to invest or waste
Same chances for Tom and John
Same chances for Mary and Martha
Same chances for June and Jane
Same chances for Betty and Bertha
No rivers of tears to cry
If chances you squander
No matter how much you try
To console your blunder at the sound of thunder
Tearing your overcast sky
Unless in your life you inject order
To jettison the blue lie
Thar denies the hand you play in the disorder
For which by design you crave
To reap the whirlwind you sow
Pretending your paper tiger grows brave
When it self inflicts low
Blows all the while dreaming repeating the same discredited methods
Yields better outcomes
Despite playing new music on dissonant cords
Assuming oversize claims
Fate disavows
Unless you rejig and reconfigure the path
To success which cows
Steps to reengineer your magic lath.
Pillored and adulterated
Innocence flies away
Fearing to be underrated
In slimy circumstances for too long kept at bay
Until to her dismay
Innocence uncovers the mask
Behind facades that waylay
Every question innocence dares to ask
To establish the veracity
Banished so unfairly to confines
Where the truth plasticity
In the sand draws red lines
Challenging meninges
Whose yardsticks fall by the wayside
The day disturbances in sapience syringes
Opt to defend discredited personal pride.
