Filibuster

Politicians get tough question,
and most will filibuster.
Especially if performance,
is bordering lackluster.

Many are from professions,
that are the kings of gab.
Their day’s clock is eaten,
by unfriendly confab.

Their priority is always,
find some one to blame.
They swear on the Bible,
while pants are aflame.

If the finger points at them,
they’re not slow to disclaim.
Searching for another,
that they might defame.

With hand outstretched,
they are tempted by bribers,
And too many fall prey,
lacking good moral fibers.

They see most as inferior,
and as dumb as a shoat.
Everything is on the table,
as they vie for our vote.

I know that politics,
is their forte and dominion,
And I pray they don’t legislate,
from me, my opinion.

It doesn't have to be true,
things Politicians proclaim. 
As long as they stay in power,
It's just a political game.
They can promise, use innuendo, 
and even outright lie.
Painting competition evil,
and themselves a good guy.

A new political norm,
is causing a thumb of noses.
Eliminating the filibuster,
or curtail what it imposes.
They think voters are as stupid, 
as a pen full of shoats.
They effortlessly lie and filibuster,
to pospone having votes.

Ephesians 4:25,
the apostle Paul commanded us, “Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour.

Oh, God that you push Ctrl  Alt Delete
Reboot with a clean startup
New direction unto many feet
Receive living water from your cup
Defragmenting this inside cluster
Causing confusion to run slow
Not to be delayed by filibuster
Scan the files which cause harm
That one might receive their charm
Within becomes a new glow
How shall we reach these youth
Being victims of misguided truth
Will they see darkness from all the wicked generations
And become One flock abandoning segregation
Reboot and rebirth of the promised spirit
To come out the dense thicket

I come from a small town named Shuster,
my father was the property tax adjuster.
He was always working late,
Toward him was much hate.
so when queried on taxes he’d filibuster.

Mighty Men Muse of God

Mighty Men muster the mighty muse of God
Mighty Men come rescue those camps that have fallen
Angel demons swallowing game frolicking
Pick pocketing;
Mighty Man cluster gatherings
Parliament filibuster relinquish;
THOSE THE CRIMES Earth leaders’ vessels rise and sequestered;
Your truth absolute
Differs from God voice He’s set lose;
Mighty Men of Mighty Muse of God
Come together and his truths Elohim so honor Him in praise now;

Easy Chair

Armchair ambassadors
Lying in wait
Have all the criteria
For the perfect state –

That Garden of Eden
That Nirvana afar
History just slaps them
So they raise up the bar

It’s so easy to solve the crisis
From at home in your easy chair –

Poli-sci majors
And young entrepreneurs –
There goes Mister Smith now –
He’ll filibuster for hours

He’s a man of ideals
A man for all seasons
Except when you challenge him –
Then he can’t give no reason

It’s so easy…

Peaceniks and liberals
Millennials and brats
They’ve got it all covered
Like bald men with hats

From their perch on the sidelines,
They sure know the score
And just for the record,
They’re like totally against war! 

It’s so easy to solve the crisis
From at home in your easy chair

So get on your soap-box
And your pulpit of clay
As if you yourself swam
‘Cross the Hudson Bay
‘Cause you missed Viet Nam
And you slept thru Tibet
Thank Allah for your conscience
That won’t let us forget

Vacant Perdition

Vacant Perdition


Reeling listless
Empty story
Gazing, endless
Mandatory
Purgatory
Muted motion
Thinking sorely
Null devotion

Sudden urges
Fleeting feelings
Will emerges
Sailing ceilings
Disused dealings
Mislaid purpose
Broken meanings
Without service

It’s insipid
Bouncing bluster
Wisdom wicked
Nothing mustered
Lacking luster
Sempiternal
Filibuster
Silence vernal

Bumble Rumble Hive Jive

There is a bumble rumble 
 off in the bramble ramble jumble
 with bees hovering as the sedum flowers crumble,
 flowers perched in fading colors reds and browns
 as summer  welcomes winter to town
 and autumn begins to shut life down;
the buzz feed hums in less quiet gatherings
 upon the petals of seedling jabberings
 where moth and butterfly are now scattering;
 the filibuster clusters in hive jive
 store combs of honey to survive
 and keep the queen protected and alive;
the working drones tightly huddle
 their demanding queen to cuddle
 pressed around to warm and snuggle;
 and every flutter and wing shiver
 promises more warmth to deliver
 against the snow and cold of winter bitter;
this is the humble bumble's inner blossom
 securing honey of flower nectar and pollen 
 their worker drone waggle dance most solemn,
 preparing their bumble rumble quiet ensemble of autumn.

Being

Underground, its hard to see
What kind of thing one could be
All the stretching and tearing
With the sun, sometimes, glaring
...its light
.........on tender eyes

In the dark, matter becomes weighted
When WAY can NOT be anticipated
That's when vibrations cluster
Around reason, to filibuster
...for voice
.........to push BEING into choice

Edges and corners are never safe
Only experienced by the stupid and the brave
Best to reside in a circular clump
Where time and space gather to dump
...lack
........skirted in lattice black

BEING is most difficult when one is seeing
Who, what, and where others are agreeing
Being neither here nor there
But in the middle night....WHERE....light cares
...about movement
...........and the BEING's improvement

....????

Note: I'm always amazed when I ask a question, and without expectation, one answers in a way, that identifies the maturation of the soul. It never gets old, and always gives me the direction I need in prayers for that soul.

Premium Member Matter

Syllables of rock formations;
Sold pies of dispositions;
What does it matter?

Matter

And what'd the measure;
When you open up the pleasure;
Does it matter?

Matter

And what's the measure;
What's your pleasure;
And why must I muster;
This is a heavy-burden filibuster;
Cloudy nights and darken days;
Can't imagine that crimes pay;
I must resign from my life of life today!

This is the measure;
This is my pleasure;
And yes it matters;
NO not antimatter;
It's all unveil to hang my sign out;
Heaven is just closed Satan moved out;
And yet we all have the choice;
This is what I'd voice

and yes it does, it

Orlando and Sandy Hook

Orlando and Sandy Hook

Advantage of always take advantage of
To do is what a bunch of people love
And of course we have heard as of late
Congress finds ways for funds to misappropriate.

Several of their feelings recently were fixed
All four gun control measures  now are nixed
And instead of into the past each one fade
Republicans want to come to everyone's aid.

Instead of some having to end their career
Trying to make gun control bill be their idear
And all of the credit eventually want to get
Makes them feel good lets go ahead and let.

See my friend how easy it was to do
Democrats had bright idea out of the blue
Up whole congress finally became shook
By filibuster about Orlando and Sandy Hook.

Courage and Common Sense

A rock and a hard place between,
It seemed a limited choice,
But a burning bush he had seen
And lo it was he found his voice.

And though unpopular indeed
With constituents one and all;
Courage enough to take the lead
And for what's right he'd take the fall.

For children dying on the streets,
No longer as a hostage held;
Party politics with the deadbeats,
The lies alas must be dispelled.

For rights of others, yours and mine
To walk in safety come what may;
Never more to tow the line,
He's standing up to the NRA.

A hero of the people yes,
In a filibuster what suspense;
This Republican who god bless
Has finally shown some common sense.

Deity Be a Baby's Bottle

Walking past a mini soaked mattress; an empty baby stroller..
By it's side; abandoned this site she seems an open walkway his
Buildings and bricks less her awning; wondering, while their yard dogs
Barking once more wagging tails lonely a greeting calling out; the moon parting
Gray passing clouds left lingering; knowing how I love to kiss their dawn ?
Mothers with infants; an old man coughs; a young lady high on drugs
Looking for another mark yet settling for his blanket; her supreme court
Justice, untangling time's hair ? Leave it to Beaver, hopping up the White House
Stairs mass hysteria their latest gallop poll; besieging Molieric phantasms caught this
Camera of rewound mode with beautiful Ms. Monroe, applying rococo lotion about
Suffragette's nine inch nails ? Spotted off jingoisms European coast; his lochness narwhal....
Shedding her muumuu open waters flagship tourist a filibuster fiesta ? Apocrypha, in session.

Filibuster

A legal way to stop a vote
Is something that may tax one’s throat;
A speaker has to talk for hours,
Using her persuasive powers.

There are rules they’ve locked in place
That Congressmen must all embrace:
He or she can’t take a break – 
Sitting down – a big mistake!

Leaning on a desk’s taboo;
Other things you cannot do – 
Have a meal or leave to pee.
(That would be the end of me!)

Filibusterers can drink
Milk or water, but I think
If a bathroom’s not permitted,
Drinking likely gets omitted.

Wendy Davis, Texas Dem.,
Spoke ‘til 10:03 p.m.
In her bright pink Fila sneaks,
She defied her foes’ critiques.

Though opponents sought a crack
(Like the brace for aching back),
Davis kept her fight alive,
Demonstrating guts and drive.

Nothing really seemed to fluster
Davis, on her filibuster.
She deserves a silver platter
Just for her amazing bladder!
