President Elect Alexandria Ocasio Cortez 2024

President Elect Alexandria Ocasio Cortez - 2024

Circa...Approximately one month
following her thirty fifth birthday
October 13th, 2024
AOC became the first
female commander in chief,
and youngest person ever

to assume Oval Office
amidst landslide victory
among competing candidates
ousting current establishment incumbent,
elected to serve United States
despite being neophyte,

she received most
votes of any contender
since founding of Democracy
to assume modestly furnished
Capitol Hill - Washington
District of Columbia

most powerful post
within the United States
immediately electrifying North America
with her megawatt smile
crackling, snapping, and popping
with positivity, integrity, energy...

Deafening applause swept across nation
upon ascending dais prior to uttering one word,
she immediately wowed
darling of the hour received standing ovation
across greensward donned bajillion crowd
cheering, imploring, pumping...

green sleeved fists acclamation
action speaking decibels
louder than words bowed
young lady brought to genuine tears,
asper bona fide accreditation
understandable that newly

minted ma'am felt proud
to stride rite, (an air of modest
confidence) did enshroud,
sans an angelic halo augmenting
as optimistic words heard aloud

heralded sincere charming, intimating,
radiating... no frills accustomation
as if pledging troth to every citizen
(inclusive every flora and fauna) vowed
to steer ship of state toward ecologically,
environmentally, essentially...activation

away from fossil fuels shifting energy
consumption vis a vis alternate modalities
sow rejuvenation plowed
back into Earth prioritizing monied allocation
(dollar amount well worth investment) actualization,
where future generations will be grateful

to dead recent forebears for gift endowed
worth more than fine spun gold regarding
preservation of Gaia, how *****sapiens adaptation
made existence for all living creatures
(animals, plants, even this fungi) healthier allowed
populace to breathe easy and rest assured

quality of life for billions (ushering universal
family planning), despite tense adjudication,
especially when linkedin with
nuclear warheads disavowed,
but eventually kickstarted synergistic administration.

Premium Member At the First Debate

Hilary and Obama, woe-begotten
   'Centrists' like them long forgotten

Sanders' philosophy - Big Tent
   Bernie's, ahem, almost incontinent

Biden's supporting increased Medicare
   He'll smell grandma's and grandpa's gray hair 

O'Rourke's no 'Beta;' he's a Francis
   Around questions, he does artful dances

Ocasio-Cortez so wanted to run
   But paper ballots use too much carbon  

Wayne Messam's the Mayor of Miramar
   He's qualified for Vice-President of Miyanmar

Newark's ex-Mayor, the strident Kory Booker
   His pledge: In the Oval Office, no hookers

And lest we forget, there's Senator Liz Warren
   Claims to be 1/64th Indian, the moron  

Just can't wait for that first Democrat debate
   Twenty candidates -- every last one of them GREAT

  Who will show you his administration's 'crown jewel,' 
                                                            its experiment in 'public housing'

          The Robert Taylor Homes on the South Side
                 Cabrini-Green on the Near North

  'Hizzoner' the Mayor will show you apartments in the cinder-block buildings
  on the day of their inauguration, gleaming-clean and pristine...

  ... Then you'll view them a handful of years later
        Boarded-up windows, graffiti everywhere
        Gunfire crackling, drug addicts cackling
              blocking entrances and stairs... 

  The best of progressive intentions gone a-glimmering
  Give tenants something for nothing, they get ~ angry
                "Why we gettin' this sheet"

Premium Member I'Ve a Simple Solution At Hand

Back in 2013 the President 'resetting,' drew a line in the sand
  Syria sprinted across it; faced no response from our end

So, Bashir Assad killed his own countrymen with chemical gas
   hundreds upon thousands fled Syria, Europe's problem, alas*

Then near the end of his term, ignoring his every general's advice
  DJT threatened to pull the plug on Afghanistan one night
              --thought a quick exit for his 'resume' would be nice

And now JB's gone and done it, what a horrific choice we face
  To recognize the Taliban, an admission of disgrace
A low blow to all our brave troops who died in that place

Yet if we cut off the Taliban; if we can't bite out lips 
  ISIS stands ready to blow Afghanistan to bits

Now I'm not just complaining; I've a simple solution at hand
  No more Presidents play-acting Commander-in-Chief
                                 -- without military service beforehand  

Let's have a former soldier who honors and respects his command
   who can discern perils in jungles, deserts and mountain badlands 

If this means a separate office for Commander-in-Chief
  I'm all for it: Enough of my countrymen's (and the free world's) disbelief

And if you feel I'm all wet, think 2029... Try to envision 
  AOC** reviewing troops, making life-and-death decisions

used as political pawns by Russia and Belarus, who have flown them 
in (!) to crowd the border of Poland, where they 'live' in unsanitary, 
makeshift 'cities' -- all as part of Russian blackmail to force Poland 
and its European backers' hands.  (Source: Wall-Street Journal,

House of Representatives, an avowed Democrat-Socialist, who's 
backed open borders, defunding the police, and many other such 
'progressive policies.'

What Gets My Goat By Noah Kidding

What Gets My Goat - By Noah Kidding

Though I shy away from drink,
an unexpected case
of DT's finds this ace
of spades (also known as the spadille)
bleating heart liberal,

airing how disgrace
full the Tommyknocker of zee prez
doth aspire with
Desperation toward efface
sing outspoken, knowledgeable,

intelligent, et cetera grace
full Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, sans
The Shining eyes of dragon light,
and self deluded Dreamcatcher 
importance bulwark brace

sing, bullying, and spewing
pot shot vitriol toward
said neophyte lace
sing his blather with 
spongy bobbing parrot head

of his papa, who hoop fully gets
ousted by Democratic
candidate from place
de resistance on pedestal,
he haughtily perches touting

himself as superior race,
aye pray to dog his trace
as human wrecking ball
expunged and reprehensible
brewed den mean ways vanishes

upon election day
November 3rd, 2020,
and his ilk (henchmen
one and all) in vase
sieve like Kudzu, or

other aggressive choke
king courtesy intolerable, inhospitable,
and ineradicable testy,
pesky, and grumpy folk

especially one bearded
Dudley Doright dressed dude
with gray flecks poke
king the brown grizzle
blindingly shimmering from

"FAKE" filal smoke
and mirrors Junior Firestarter
slicked back hair doo evokes a joke
lame Kujo, albeit
cheap tricks up pa's city
faux Taj Mahal sleeve!


Premium Member Statues of Horses

Outside drives of dude ranches or of hobby farms
Cast statues of horses bred from Cortez' runaways.
They stand in basket planted ferns to camouflage their hooves,
Or rear atop a barn as though to jump into a circus pool.

More at home on green way cityscapes.
A scattered cavalry would save us from ourselves.
With piercing stares, their riders try to rally troops
To rout the rest, leave us solitary soldiers of the field.

Frontage roads and roundabouts
Out flank them and surround them.
Traffic blinded how they might retreat,
Or charge, they wait in disarray.

The only value now a century of late
Is a centaur kind of horsemanship:
One goal between an animal and man.
Graffiti by the day adds to epaulets of pigeon .

Mobs would have them roped and quartered down,
Hauled to salvage parks unseen revision of our past.
To those casting heroes into bronze, "Be discreet, 
Bronze lasts longer than human judgements do."

Premium Member The Heart of a Poet -- Listens (Part 4 )

The Darkest DAY
Billows of Darkness 
Surrounding a Broken Heart 
Breathe deep smothered LOVE

Keep squeezing, squeeze the life out of me My WIFE went over THAT RAILING,
And so does my LIFE  All of a sudden a tidal wave of Doctors, Nurses :  Flailing
I could hear a Latin accent Over here, Over Here, Sedate Him, Sedate  He’s crazy
A nurse with a syringe  poked me and said Good Night I couldn’t fight ALL was Hazy

My host: Sleeps{ With one arm wrapped around the boom, other hand lifts Lenore 
Together As mating Eagles We plummet into the Sunset on the Caribbean Sea’s floor}
My host is a Lifeguard, a Red Cross Certified Swimming Instructor A fish in Water                
{ We Trampoline off smooth soft bronzed sand to the Sunset’s reflection atop the water}
                                                     My host Awakes

The foggy wavering images come into clarity : I see the tears in Mr. Adams Eyes
The grief on Mrs. Adams face The loss of a beloved sister in Lois and Leslie’s Eyes
Mr. Adams ”SON, You should have this, A transparent Pure White Veil : no Green Eyes
“Amigo How are you?” The monster arms, bear paw hands, tree stump shins, Devil Eyes

“I am Ishmael Cortez, I Love my Mother and Father and the way they Love each other 
I have never seen LOVE as you displayed last night, You made me want to let You :Go” 
My host says nothing, the pain of loss in his tears : the agony felt through a White Veil
Torment surrounds me: I’m pounding, to the symphony of misery, Enveloped I smother

Premium Member Hearing Their Hoof Beats

Their hoof beats pound into my dreams
Spanish mustangs, weighing over a ton
Florida cracker horse saved by breeders
Marsh tacky from South Carolina
Arriving in dun, bay, roan, black and grullo

There are eighty thousand feral horses in the US today
Wild mustangs living off the land in Utah, Wyoming and Texas
They would probably scoff at the dinky Choctaws in Mississippi
For those specimens e a mere thirteen to fourteen hands high.

Equidae fossils have been found in Wyoming
Proof we had horses here three million years ago
Before climate change made them extinct.
Luckily Cortez brought them back in 1519.

Should Be News Feed But Is Not



Government uses foreign gov-loophole 
and harlots by proxies geo-fence by proximity. 
Old bedfellow with Politicians and 3 letter agency, 
no surprise there. 
Garland and Wray want your push notifications 
to complete your dossier profile picture, 
wants FEMA camp for detention, el Permanente,  Draconian Fair for opposers no expense spared.

In this world of shadows and gray,
Find no solace in bad actors that fray, that "go there". Reward your California delusionals to higher Office. 
The cocaine White House likes your way, 
and cocaine and curriculum de orifices and cocaine 
(yes, I went there).
 Newsome; Your state has run out of U-Hauls to leave.
Maybe parents are tired of your oprn-wife stalking their children with innocence killer-materials or "The Hood" curriculum deputy of the Interior. You have the worst education results in the entire World, Pizza Steve! 
Maybe just this one addition/critique, add a syringe to the school/library books cover sleeve?  
You certainly are bold.
Your intent is obvious to me. 
You want Americans out, for China to No Vacancy. 
World's largest real estate broker, licensed by DNC.
 Most brilliant masterminds could not destroy 
what you destroyed, and they work for the DNC! 
That is why you are their candidate, confidentiality.
 "Despicable Me" may just use your exploits 
in their next movie. 
But Mayorkas, M-Vanilli, Garland, Biden and Cortez are still building their destruction resumes.
But watch out ! Biden has sold out our entire Country! Is that why you are running for President?!
Ah yes, I see. 
And you know what? This was supposed to be about Push Notifications and Warrants of Geo-Fencing !
