Premium MemberA Palestinian Genocide

Another American Colony
poisoned with venom and hate
Consumed by the world’s great religions
apparently, this was its fate

The Palestine homeland was stolen
by the powerful in our world
They took it and gave it to others
named it Israel, a new flag unfurled
Then created a thing they call AIPAC
for the funneling of funds every year
Take American taxpayer dollars
with each bomb that is dropped, they all cheer

The Parties all do it together
Jews and gentiles sign-off on the funds
Together with makers of weapons
we all pay for the bullets and guns
America’s funding a genocide
our Senators and Reps have no shame
As the people pay all of the taxes
together we share all the blame

Netanyahu, a villain and killer
has a bank that’s called US of A
Anytime that he wants to kill Gazans
AIPAC’s ready with money to play
As for Schumer, he has in his pocket
Booker, Jeffries and Torres and more
It is why he keeps running for office
to keep Israel funded for war

Now the Trumps plan a new Riviera
by Republicans they will be led 
With American taxpayer money
they will build it on all of the dead

MORBID-19

MORBID-19


Gain of function?	*
Fauci says it's fiction **
So without hesitation
I embrace salvation

First shot

Globalist propaganda
What's their agenda?
Trusting the media
I welcome mRNA

Second shot

Side effects appear 
Should I mutineer?
As I wrangle my fear
The next jab I cheer

Third shot

Again they stab my vein
I feel an intense pain
Clots invade my brain
God I invoke but in vain

Fourth shot

Am I being foolish?
Swimming in a Petri dish
My free will I relinquish
One more dose to finish

Fifth shot

Now and forever
I am a cadaver


Notes:
* Gain of function (GOF) is research to make a pathogen x10 to
	x100 times more dangerous than normal.
** Anthony Fauci; infectious disease expert, director of NIAID,
	funded Coronavirus GOF research in Wuhan lab in China.

All Talk, No Action

They are now but cash cows
(a trough in which to quaff)
for the many attendees
who sit on long-winded
Government-funded investigation committees
no one around to hear the sound
(of what falls in the woods)
while their coffers swelled
for all the papers printed on the ecology
more than several trees were felled
the fracking drilling boring too
(found underground)
wastes water in copious quantities
releases greenhouse gas
and undermines the earth in the final analyses
deliberate discussion and debate
('til the cows come home)
to which they are compelled
only exacerbates the issue
of global warming
with all their hot air expelled

Premium MemberWhere Are They Now?

In this country

	Politicians line their pockets from back-door deals
	Sports figures kneel with raised fist, and protest our flag
	Hollywood celebrities exclaim they will leave our country
	Silicon Valley tramples on free-speech norms
	Corporate elites rig systems to transfer wealth

and live more royally than kings of yore, while

Children hunger
	for food
	for love
	for protection from abuse

Where are the marchers,
the protesters with cardboard placards
funded by big money,

Declaring that these,
the youngest of us
have a right to a life?

That simply being born
is not enough?

	Where are those God-fearing pickets?

Premium MemberIt's Time


   It’s time to stop pussyfootin’ around
     time to bite the bullet and bear down

   Time to forget Gaza, Hamas and Hezbollah
     time to go after the ‘big fella’ 

   It’s time to take down Iran
     the only way Israel’s war will be won

   Time to do so by whatever means necessary
     For Iran is your number one adversary

   Forty-five years she’s funded proxies’ terror
     To let her be has been a huge error  

   So, go on the attack, Israel. Quick, take her out 
     There’s no longer one grain of doubt
       Trump will be sitting this out 
   
   Or is Israel just hot air ~ Netanyahu, all talk

The Atrocity

Woke up with a headache 
Throbbing to the beat 
Of that song on the radio 
Always on repeat 
Sung by a masochist 
Written by a creep 
How I love when I’m criticized by the meek 
By a rickety white man 
That’s morals are constructed
By hate and inequality 
Love that’s paired with scrutiny 
Plus constructs that are weak 
Trust my lovely brother 
He’s funded manipulation 
For a proper nation 
Where the homos repent 
Where the women are mothers 
Where the church is forced on the troubled 
Where naturalism is turned to ash 
Where equality is taught to be bad 
Woke up with a headache 
Throbbing to the beat 
Of the rhythm the soldiers make with their feet 
Reciting orders told to them 
Mistakes will certify being beat 
They learn the steps to a dance 
Named the atrocity

Premium MemberFinal Prayers

Chicago's new mayor just proposed
    another plan to put a heavy load

  on us beleaguered taxpayers --
    We'd better start saying our final prayers

  'Taxpayer-funded, government-owned grocery stores'
    our communist mayor says, while the city council snores...

  What bankrupted Russians is 'sure to work here' ~
    from the same folks who brought you cannabis racketeers

Premium MemberSteps Aside

STEPS ASIDE

They’ve banned the “step counters”
Outlawed the treadmill and stationary bike
Banned jogging (aka fast walking for the elderly)
Sports will be limited to “non-aerobic” activities
Tiddlywinks tournaments will be Government funded.

Scientific research and investigation
Funded by the “stay inside and die sooner” chapter
Of the “Governmental Gottcha Groups” 
Has conjectural and anecdotal evidence
That the heavy breathing induced by exercise
Increases the carbon dioxide emissions
Of those engaged in anaerobic exercise.

Suggested alternate activities are:
-Daydreaming,
-Scheming (aka conspiring with imaginary friends)
-Meditation…without chanting
-Astral Traveling (with or without passport)
-Thinking, but only about the things presented in our booklet
  -(also known as “Talking Points)

Or the “Rip Van Winkle” solution…
Go to sleep for twenty years
and hope it’s all over when you wake up.

Plastic for garment hopeful Mc Guyver
        Privileged upbringing Mum funded Uni
        Drooping arms self described Survivor 
        Sends selfies working store security 

       
        Each week forgot which time we'd set to meet
        Busy cuddling cat in his hoarders house
        Box obstructed rooms, pet fur pile retreat
        Expensive half hour at strip club aroused
         

        Deep thought Duncan sombre long faced hellos
        Told off at new job for being morose
        Six year psychiatrist compiled his woes 
        Used a lot of glue trying to make clothes! 


         Fifty eight, next door mother truest friend 
         Asserts he's recognised among top ten

No Win No Fee

No Win No Fee they call it
And it’s such a cause of shame
In todays strange society where
It’s somebody else to blame.
Nobody wants to accept 
Responsibility for any action,
Who can I sue these days
Being the usual reaction.
Burn yourself spilling coffee
Blame yourself not
Just sue the vendor for
Selling it to you too hot.

He should have realised
You’re probably a clumsy fool 
And sold you a coffee
That’s more than a little cool.
Somewhere a Legal Advisor
Rubs his hands with glee
Raking in his slice of 
Your award, No Win No Fee.

The soldier in combat
In the modern day strife
Reacts as he’s been trained
To save his comrades life.
Many years later
Over passage of time 
Can find he’s been accused
Of  historic War Crime.
And the past is revisited
As he fights to stay free
From an action that’s funded
Courtesy of No Win No Fee.

The hard eyed legal functionary
In his well tailored business suit
Watches the cash roll in 
From his speculative fruit
And cares not a fig about
Any ex squaddie like me
As he continues to exploit
His Golden Apple No Win No Fee

FRICATIVE FIASCO

Fun filled fatal foul-ups
Finally feeling fairly faint
Fear fully fanning flames
Fatefully finding fault
Further furious faces
Faces fuming in fiery fits
Fire follows, finishing fast 
Flirty, fine fabulous fellows
Featuring fuller fit figures
Feeding flights of fancy
Five footloose funded fools 
Fighting for future fame

Welcome To Hell

It once was a ‘Big Apple’,
now the worm has devoured
that apple and the worm
is much, much larger.
Rats infest Gotham,
they walk on two legs.
Batman had no chance
dying too soon
from contact with Fentanyl.
The worm has spread,
now it  eats all large cities
where the mayors ‘don’t care’
and the DA’s are funded
by rich socialists.
The dead do not pile up yet,
but the sanitation workers
soon may be too afraid
to collect them each day.
There is hell to pay.
Your gold will melt away faster
than brimstone
and the road to the flames
though paved with good intentions – 
all of them were hand-made in hell.

Over Jammed,
Over kicked.

Over ventilated,
Over written.

Over xeroxed,
Over yahoo-ed,
Over zealous.
