Electric

They're selling tickets
to the execution
front row ringside seats
for an electrocution
there for the thrill of the kill
ghouls who want to watch him fry
who knows why they're compelled
to view condemned die
God forgive the man
who throws the switch
which pulls the plug
makes criminals twitch
he and Old Sparky
are best of friends
lighting up felons
to the bitter ends
but what kind of everyday
man in the street
for hire volunteers to pyre
people in the hot seat

Pardon My Outrage

Someone serving life in prison
Some way, somehow gets the nod
To release him, like an order
From a despot or a god.

The same applies to lowlife thugs
Whose insurrection acts,
When they stormed the U.S. Capitol,
Were changed to lies from facts. 

When power goes to someone’s head,
It’s like a weird disease 
Where he violates the law
And justice drops down to its knees.

Half the country hates it,
While the other seems to hail
The release of felons who should be,
Most rightfully, in jail.

I guess it’s pretty obvious
In which half I belong.
These pardons reek of villainy
And are simply, flat-out wrong!


Premium Member Not Applicable for Some

So, weren't you a reality show host?

Well, I thought I'd give it a try.

So, did everyone get their paychecks?

For Me! Those rules don't apply!


So, aren't felons prohibited from holding office?

To that, I won't even reply!

So, how will you adhere to the Constitution?

For Me! Those rules won't apply!


So, how do you feel about the "Good Book?"

He smirked with Hellfire in his eye!

I've never read it..besides,

For Me! Those rules never apply!

The Political Elite

A mouthful
of hate
A bullhorn
of lies
Dissected
infected
With terminal
pride
Conscripting
the fledgling
Embedded
in brine
Indicted 
convicted
True felons
— of time

Third party annotated bibliography by Tamanna Ferdous

Rene was composing a bangla song. After decades and motivations distant from a light year, he truly tried. Just with one concept. Photosynthesis is not something photogenic. Certainly not an easy subject, not quite popular that fame is blessed about.

"I think you need a break. Simply try an easier path."

Shanta wanted to cheer him up.

"Let me brief you with a little scenario. A written up verse should not be a price tag , nor should it be anything other than a equidistant line that fails to understand occupation and occupied territory. By the time the second line will emerge,  I am tired. So awfully tired!" Rene shrugged.

“Find an agency. That will help you adopt children from both 

sides.”

Shanta tried to smile. She had a sad note to pass. Their only child would be dropped out as they found him smoking and in other felons too. She could not sleep for the last four days.

He looked her in the eye.

An uncomfortable stair… a staircase…with rise, with tread.

But give it all you got, Then you will find God in drops of rain.

In nothingness. God does not need us. We need Him.


Premium Member America at her Worst

the intelligentsia stood by helplessly
as Neanderthals with guns mowed people down
bullets are flying in all of the neighborhoods now
Yes, this includes the suburbs
Might makes right is the new mantra
Felons are at the helm
America at her worst

Premium Member Implosion

Implosion of democracy 
Explosion by hypocrisy 
Not what God meant to be
Twisted by man’s hands of deceit 

Whitewashing history
Distorting views
Blatant blasphemy 
Stringing together fools

Ignoring facts 
With liquid laughs
Dismissing science
Utterly madd 

Doing favors 
For the rich
While poor laborers 
Get short stick

Dozen eggs 
Expensive to get 
Daily bread
Tainted chicken and fish

Can’t feed the poor
In USA
Sending it abroad 
More than what stays 

Not that we can’t 
Be a good neighbor 
But home first man
Kids deserve our favor

Burning wick 
of politics
Dividing inciting
Not uniting with 

Guns flood streets
As felons hit bricks
Made guilty free
Despite January 6

I’m no God
I know sin too
I just watch
For Him to move

No nation divided
Can stand tall
Is it decided
Will it fall

Premium Member beware of biblioklepts

Libraries put biblioklepts on wanted posters
In workrooms next to aluminum coffee pots and toasters
So, the librarians will not check these felons out
Because they steal books and tapes without a doubt

Premium Member calling a toad a toad

Punctilious conversation
Unknown by this generation
Suggested by eager administration
Hoping to curb dancing gyration
Censorship doesn’t work in our nation
Where felons are revered in Presidential celebration

God Gave Humans Ability

God gave us ability to create crimes.
Each one of these are breaches of laws.
Breaches have been assigned penalties.
Penalties are designed to be equally applied.
Penalties are to prevent crimes from occurring.

Trump was convicted of felonies 34 times.
Therefore, Trump has been a convicted felon.
Convicted felons cannot either be successfully 
vetted or pass a National Agency Check (NAC)
by Office of Special Investigation (OSI).
He cannot join the military, cannot be able to
vote or ever be able to receive a security clearance.
He is in violation of Declaration of Independence,
Constitution and Amendments and Articles of
Confederation.
These items were created to prevent a person
from being President of the United States (POTUS)
and should properly be enforced.

Premium Member We Believe in Diverse

  We believe in diverse in our universe
    Our government’s a meritocracy in reverse

  Red folks, brown folks, yellow and green
    Indigenous Indians, Asians, Orientals, ‘Mar-sheens’

  So despite constant breakdowns in communication
    Multicolor anger and fury benefits all nations…

  We also support workplace equity
     All employee reviews must be ‘A’ or ‘B’ 

  And of course there’s inclusion, finally
     For violent ex-felons we bend the knee 

  All told, with our universe we’ve given birth
     ~ to a bigger mess than Planet Earth

Premium Member I Have an Aversion to Prejudice

I have an aversion to prejudice
Judging a pond without sampling its ice
Consorting with others eating large melons
Passersby judged as free men or felons

Women condemned as whores or harlots
While tormenting men turn the air scarlet
Then sit in the pews reserved for the saintly
Ogle the preacher’s wife ever so daintily

For judgement you see is a way to look down
On those, as they pass, on which you may frown
Knowing that god has made you superior
When in truth you couldn’t kiss their posterior

For consciousness doesn’t offer correction
Unless you can make a change of direction
That is, of course, dependent upon
How much of the ice you take from the pond

Premium Member Hooray It Is the Elephant Circus

the elephant circus is coming to Kalamazoo!
Kids were so excited, they played hooky too.
Running toward the tent that housed Ellie, the star.
Frog was practicing his tricks, he could play a guitar.

Pig was jumping out of a large red top hat.
Wow! Said some of the felons, what do you think of that?
School teachers were flying in to grab kids by their ears.
Potential students ran off, making jokes and jeers.

What can you do? The elephant said to the teachers.
Why don’t you stay and enjoy the show and our features?
Principal closed the school and there was a loud hooray!
Everyone laughed as mice chased a circus cat that day.

Paranormal For the Abnormal

Books people read,Vance:faces,
On plain ones future crime traces;
How does he this a mystery
What is obvious: plain mastery!
Today's suspects later felons
In the act caught with their talons

Isn't this guy paranormal 
By spooks sent for The Abnormal,
His orders:to make things normal?

Russia coming for Vance for use,
The World Terrorists for misuse...

US might not want to him lose.
