THE INCUMBENT
by
JOHN M. ARRIBAS

I am sick and tired of hearing the same old line
My elected representative says every things fine
He just does not represent the people I know
He’s been there forever its time for him...

Night and day!

There are honest...

“Jealousy”
Jimmy had odds to beat, one he was a black teen and the temptations of big city’s Streets. 
But a single black mother’s determination held his attention sternly,
So he had only Minimal interaction with streets.

Romans 13:1 - “The authorities that exist have been established by God”… 

Though that seems more of a facade, long shot and a fraud from a world long gone
Since sin no longer seems fiction in...

THE COACH
by
JOHN M. ARRIBAS

 
Went to an alumni meeting last week
 Looking for solace, the outlook was bleak
We lost a game we should have won
A total disaster to all not just some
Cries of anguish torrents...

McRaccoon had a plan to steal again… He would usurp all the theatrical arts.

He would dominate Sigfrid and Roy, with only a...

The American Way

In every neighborhood
There are problems that arise.
Some never get resolved
No one that fact denies.

However:  the other day
A big story was in our paper.
Of a group of upset neighbors
Pulled off a “real-estate” caper....

my soul is the shape of a bloodstain
poured there by Nadine Maraschino
my right eye sits
in the ruby voodoo goblet
that she wears upon her head
Nadine was a 3-toed egg laying harpy
from the cauldron of shame
but she...

Iniquity, impunity, injustice invade Internet interaction
Alongside odious obliteration and cunning coercion
Facilitated and militated with unabashed attention and intention   

To minutest details
To misspell the capture of heads and tails
Which in essence sells injustice and...

A NATION IN CRISIS…FALLING APART

It has been said that America
is an experiment in democracy.
If that is so—and it seems to be—
this country is in deep septic trouble.
Today, the mad dog political moniker 
can no longer...

My favorite President is yet to be
  He may well not go down in history
For he'll do what really needs to be done
  Antagonizing almost everyone under the sun

First he'll fix Social Security;...

Life's a cruel stage
for the sensitive soul
who must suffer in whole,
the jeers and the babble
of an ignorant rabble

Who, paying their
tuppence for cheap
balcony seats,
spew their bile,
words so vile
as to make
a stone weep

The reviews
of the critics, 
far...

You throngs of foolish Americans, why could you not see
what motivates Trump and overlook the faults of Hillary?
You were blinded by his lies and the blatant mockery
that he made of 200 years of this country's...

Each day foul critters infest our house
Though not by slipping in like a mouse
We just press a button
Or buy a subscription
To get news wrote or spoke by a louse

These creatures of the two legged kind

Step aside, Mr. Gore, as the world's people rebel
Despite your predictions, Earth is not as hot as hell
 
We took your global warnings seriously at first
But for your dire forecasts, we no longer thirst

Animal Coffee with Animal Quackers

Drink animal coffee  with animal crackers,
Along with many ducks who are quackers;
Always cares,
Saying prayers,
While worshipping God being His backers.

Poetry friend of mine is a teacher and
likes poems about teachers.

We are merging and surging, and rapidly purging.  
A rich man is buying our company, and he is bringing us backers, and hackers,

Best of all a stash of great cold, hard, green cash.
We are...

On An Ally Rely

On an ally we are supposed to rely,
And desire to do Trump did deny;
Around bush beat; (Think it was Billy)
Then did repeat;
Could never find a logical reason why.

Dearest Prof –
I did not title them:
These ever-ready logs
Ready to assemble ants of cowries;
They dance from sea to land
Wishing to be titled by exigent gods
Who watch over their lonely coronations
Lavished with sacrificial songs!

I did not...

Universal Education,

It’s no secret it’s no surprise that no one degree is set equal,

My question if money is universal and cash is on hand,

When money come digitally could one be forgiving of the debt ceiling,
