Milton Creek Election Week
Judge Horne issued a decree that elections take place this week
For the positions of mayor and sheriff in the town of Milton Creek
It had now been nearly four years and was somewhat overdue
Some known names were mentioned and some nobody knew.
Rumour had it John Scultz of the Cactus Ranch was running for mayor
It was also

Who Are the Politicians
I chuckle soft when people fume,
And blame the lot in suits and gloom.
“You see those leaders? All a scam!”
But who’s still selling free yarn?
Was it not your own cousin’s name,
On that campaign with matching frame?
The nurse who sighs, “This ward’s a zoo,”
Still checks her brows in selfie view.
She posts, “On duty, Lord be praised,”
While someone’s

Babacracy
I am no king, yet here I stand,
A puppet bound by Baba’s hand.
He lifts me high, he pulls the strings,
He owns my fate, he crowns my wings.
He whispers soft, “The throne is yours,”
Yet locks my soul behind his doors.
With stolen gold, he paves my way,
My name, my face, the price he pays.
He calls me son,

Defeating Tyranny
Defeating Tyranny
This is how to overthrow tyranny:
elections by a free people who care
peaceful transfer of power
alternative media outlets to counter brainwashing
decreasing the size of government
ridding a society of mandates by unelected officials
stopping demonization of average citizens
halting massive monetary corruption
short of divine intervention
this is how it is done
it is difficult~ many obstacles to freedom exist
that

Election 2025
Poor old Schumer and our poor old Nancy
Biden gave them not one pardon fancy
He was stabbed in the back
And thrown out like a hack
Now with Donald their futures are chancy

Election Defective
The losing team is so offensive
The terrible lose was so expensive
Depression hits and it's so intensive
No comfort is accepted form even the attentive
The days of worry maybe extensive
We cannot see it from another perspective
How did the unpopular get so deceptive
When and where was his language so persuasive
How can so many fall for the illusive

Too America
Too many women with fewer choices
Too many kids dodging bullets in fear
Too many in danger for just being *****
So many attempts to silence our voices
Too many immigrant lives at stake
Too many survivors shocked and dismayed
With abuse and intolerance so pompously displayed,
All the oppression keeps me awake
I see too many

WHY EACH VOTE COUNTED
The parents whose 12-year-old son was just laid to rest
From spraying bullets exploding in his young body’s chest
The father whose daughter was tortured and raped
By monsters initiating in a criminal gang
She will never see her fourteenth birthday
The shopkeeper, who after taxes is barely making his life’s wage
And totally depends on the paltry money his hard

TOO HIGH A PRICE TO PAY
With the results of this election…the majority of people think I shouldn’t be sad
after all, they say, we only disagree politically!
This was democracy in action, they add, we voted for the changes we want to see.
But that is not what makes me sad…what has crushed my spirit and broken my heart…
It’s watching how this election

AMERICAN'S 2024 ELECTION
The American people have
Lost their minds.
Electing the SCHMUCK,
One more time.
MR. Trump, a dangerous
Man-child.
A convicted FELON,
Running wild.
No consequences to
His actions.
A traveling Circus,
THE MAIN ATTRACTION.
He is a FASCIST, RACIST, SEXIST,
Preaching his Campaign.
He BABBLES on and

Election Turmoil
Waited patiently in lines to cast the vote
The turnout was expected; patience was tested
Uneasiness, hungry, and tired enough to be tempted
To leave the line, but frustration heavy in tote
Some feel it was not a honest fair win
Ballots were burned prior to election
Should there been more ballot protection
Oh well, candidate chosen with a jovial grin
Just pray

Hope Is For The Dumb
At least I’m not alone
At least I have friends by my side
But what do we do
When the silence is the kind shared when somebody has died
I hear celebrations
I read the words of people I can only assume have no love in their lives
and though nobody has truly died
A loss is being experienced
For it hurts
When you
