Epistle To Barack Obama

this epistle per mine choice of heir apparent presidential throne
composed from one liberal minded non-conformist rolling stone  

prompted awareness that one voice can affect which contestant will win
and occupy the white house after the votes get tallied from political spin

aware thy missive from an anonymous fellow  and a self anointed scribe
will be carefully screened no matter opinion already cast with nada bribe

personal opinion of this sole american male of two score and nine years
that barack obama possesses that je ne sais quois diplomatic state craft
   despite disparaging broadside starring paris hilton plus britney spears

the land of lincoln candidate exemplifies (to myself) a charismatic charm
in tandem with a relaxed persona and gait akin per a commoner on a farm

that nonchalant easy going affinity speaks nonverbal volumes to this chap
cringes when espying or hearing from opposing challenger whose lips flap
   meaning john mccain whose hidden motives and agenda include his trap
to plant seeds of doubt per un-decided electorate causing lead to get a zap

unknown how trials and tribulations rival democratic senator from  Illinois
will weather local nor global challenges and said solution he might employ
i opt for said captain to steer ship of state and exclaim to drop anchor ahoy

if via cosmic divine intercession the galloping newcomer in this horse race 
ushering biracial as nominal winner televisions would show a beaming face
the political ramifications analogous to betting square outcome on this ace

i gently beg, decry, fulminate counter attack advertisements fast and quick
against those subliminal sly messages that at first blush appear airily slick
and please reach deep in that magic bag resorting to retaliatory artful trick
lest burning from the madding crowd extinguished like jack’s candle wick!

Premium Member Crossroads '24

In America,
every major election year
or cycle promises the electorate
to be the most important election
in the history of the country; that
there has never been a more crucial
time to make one's voice heard.

Every generation
appears to believe that
it is the greatest generation,
and none before the one in existence
had greater causes, challenges, or
issues to control, conquer, or defeat.

Let's leave it to God
and the historians to decide on
Who or what is the greatest generation?

There was once a king named David
who gathered and appointed to his
staff those who had 'understanding
and knowledge of the times'. May our
present would-be leaders do the same.

Notwithstanding, perhaps the real question
to those of us who happen to be in the present
generation is, "What role are we to play?".

Am I just here to be affected by and simply
experience whatever is set before me?
I think not.  As we stand at the crossroads,
positioned to make a move, may God give us
'insight and understanding of our times'.

Moreover, do I, or am I to know if I
have been placed in this arena, in this
kingdom, on this planet, for such a time as this? 
I believe that, indeed, each of us has been uniquely
placed and positioned by God to do His bidding.

God's call and biddings would apply to
any people of any nation. From where I sit,
in America, there is no doubt that a puzzling
stage has been set for each of us to step upon
and exercise what God has said in our hearts.

Taking the Knee

I'm against police brutality - who wouldn't be?
However, I'm still standing for the national anthem,
we're not governed by another countries diplomacy,
you can 'take the knee' if you believe passionately.

Let's lay it on the line - why do people resist arrest?
That's asking for trouble unless you want 'soft' policing;
you're proud of your colour, we'll never tire of it,
same for all Mac - please don't shoot me in the back.

Trump has his hand across his chest, supposed to know best,
but he doesn't, he can be removed by the electorate,
what if he's not? Are the same problems to carry on?
There's no guarantee that a new leader will be any better.

Ignorance is rife - thinking people are still throwing bones,
even some suggesting parallels with 'Game of Thrones.'

Premium Member An Ode To Joseph Biden

An Ode to Joseph Biden
By Franklin Price
10/07/2021

This is an ode to Joseph Biden, President of our great land.
I find it very difficult to determine where you stand

You ran to bring us all together, do you think that's going well?
I would like to know, who's in control, it's very hard for me to tell

I think, for sure, it isn't you, for we're growing more apart
It's evident, that what you say, isn't coming from your heart

Would like to know, who pulls the strings, it's not you, I'd like to bet.
It's others hid, behind the curtain, you are the dancing marionette

If I'm not right, and you're the one, then we've made a grave mistake.
You are just a foolish President, and you're not just on the take.

Look round and see what's happened, since you've been highest; number one
We the people, are ignored, growing poorer, is no fun.

Our Southern border's over-run by thousands more from everywhere.
They're not inspected for diseases. You don't even seem to care.

Yet you want to make the citizens, get vaccinated, or not work.
If that's the way, you pull the strings, then you're more than just a jerk

Afghanistan's another thing, I could go on for many years.
What's the use, you will not listen, will not allay our doubts and fears

You ignore our constitution. Do your best to put it down
You were sworn to support it, not to wear a royal crown

In spite of all I've said herein, I pray you'll live to end your term.
The ones that would replace you, without a doubt, a far worse germ

We the People, the electorate, are the ones who put you there
You should listen to our voices, and take action if you care

We're on the road to ruin, of this grand old U.S.A.
Our founders rolling in their graves. For now, that's all I have to say.

Premium Member A Cheap Pleonasm: Make America Great Again

America has been GREAT, great for the last two centuries.
All right, America has been the greatest among all countries,
For a long time. MAGA is a cheap pleonasm, which just
Won the most contentious election in American history.
The problem, as widely reported, Trump is corrupt, unjust,
Sexist, racist, homophobic, xenophobic, vociferous, and nasty.
This is the first time that we have such a hyperactive loose cannon,
Who is despised by his own political party. He is an orchestra
Of unusual lyrics and melodies. The man is like an untamed lion.
As a reminder, money, strength and power are not everything.
Humility, wisdom, decency, and common sense, in America,
Are extremely crucial and important, to make the dogs sing.
A president should be a role model, a beacon for children;
A fighter, a problem solver, a savior for the entire electorate;
A leader, a giant not a bully, a diplomat for the world to emulate.
The jury will be deliberating; America does not need to be 'great again';
We need an improved economy, mutual respect, controlling the flow
Of immigration, money, illicit drugs, and put our ducks in a row,
To be a haven for all, regardless of race, color, gender and ethnicity.
America is the greatest, I am not lying; simply ask the Statue of Liberty.

Pitching Electioneering, Albeit Democratic Ticket

Pitching electioneering, albeit Democratic ticket...
as 2020 presidential election nearing
pleading joshing, and endearing...

The choice for commander in chief dum...
dum... dum... dum..
will winnow down, thus
political prognosticator pundits
no longer remain mum
between Donald John Trump,
whose second term win,
would find yours truly numb

versus Joseph Robinette Biden Junior
could infuse flickering
uneasiness among electorate
(quite a few skool
of hard knocks alum
including yours truly),
who attests surfing cyber seas
as seasoned beach bum

up until this moment
feeling rather glum
regarding fate of American democracy
fizzling, muckraking, and sputtering
linkedin with kickstarting,
snapchatting, and twittering
along ever so ho hum
awaiting fateful deliverance

as dueling banjos strum
meanwhile irritable bowel syndrome
nsync with nausea
bubbling, gurgling, quickening
within collective tum
no doubt alleviated chugging,
guzzling, and quaffing
countless bottles Bacardi rum.

Nothing less at stake than (an ill eagle
feebly clutching cherished symbols - regal
representing land of the free and
home of the brave
analogous to once buoyant seagull

encompassing United States)
metaphorical snooping Beagle
only finding peanuts after landing
discovery (of America) triggering extralegal
imbroglios, which courtesy...

Thank manifest destiny
wrought accursed land grab,
where survival of fittest (think militarily)
nonchalantly, insouciantly actually
quite aggressively did nab
great juicy fruited plain continental slab

...to the mountains to the prairies
to the oceans white with foam...
where indigenous people
once stood tall and proud
applying contrived accoutrements,
which implements rendered mortally to stab

invaders, hence convenient plug to jibjab,
(while sack religious lame chap 
donning unisexual hijab)
whale within poetic license
to orca straight heady
i.e. think lame muck cab
bra (even garnering groan from

ghost of captain Ahab)
denouncing cheesy pun,
whereby I (Stuart Little) best remain
as caged mouse
subjected to experimentation
within bore writ Tory lab.

Another Brexit Poem Sorry

You have to admit now it is quite pathetic
Three years have gone by some still can’t accept it
They voted remain don’t want to see Brexit
They protest they moan their opinion projected 
this miserable way seems to be septic
on and on spread their misery rejection 
as though they have a bad loser infection
to a democratic vote and national selection 
17 million with the same intentions
Two different Prime Ministers we haven’t elected 
Talk of which deal to take given to the electorate 
3 fold approval not really expected 
disproval of no deal widely ejected 
Boris says no to a general election 
Economic aspects need protection 
Mission impossible with complications
Still Brexit remains the destination,
Independence, the declaration.

Number Forty Six White House Occupant Re

Number forty six - White House occupant re:
guarding President elect Joe Biden

Within mein hermitage
now dwells one euphoric troglodyte who wept
upon hearing unbelievable news,
(albeit at snail's pace schlepped
finally proclamation emancipation
gave reasonable rhyme yours truly to ejaculate
(not prematurely), subsequently I leapt

into the air, and kept
myself aloft completing
one after another sumersault and except
for minor nuisance of gravity
nevertheless landed feet first and crept
back into mine mancave adept
to survive alone in the wilderness.

Seventy four million popular votes
tallied across country,
gives ample reason to grind hips and bump,
(cuz the most votes
cast for any presidential candidate in history),
which Republican contender finally plopped
hook line and anchored

courtesy Taj Mahal replica sinker
into dustbin of history
good riddance electorate voted out
loutish oaf, which voters chose to dump
best mandated to cavort with zoot suited frump
on any given Wednesday available to hump
rotund barenaked lady merging
into humongous protoplasmic lump.

Caught red handed concerning
more'n where's the beef
stole 2016 election
under nose of Hillary Clinton
abused role, when tasked
as commander in chief

good ole Charlie Brown nemesis
caused nothing but grief,
hence yours truly quite elated
upon occasion when figurative new leaf
turned over and booted out
as more onerous than Baghdad thief.

Hit the ground running
with nary a second to waste
Joe Biden, Kamala Harris and company
proving their steely eyed mettle
after victory lap Democrats did taste

usher in COVID-19 game plan
bolstering pandemic defences
where prior administration sorely misplaced
priorities United States Lady Liberty
wantonly, undeservedly, subsequently
her reputation disgraced.

Hope springs eternal - ah tis amazing grace
yours truly suddenly brimming with optimism
able bodied diverse cabinet to erase
formerly inept sycophants with intentions base
running amok within White House

at long last competent candidate won the race
adieu Donald Trump, who
did disappearing act at Mar-A-Lago without a trace
sore loser teed off absent American
delivering his humiliating defeat coup de grâce.

Start Blaggin It

We’ve got remainers moaning like little twitches
whining away at democratic wishes,
politicians shone bright in true lies,
selfish gains over public cries.

May Day, 
May Day, 
May’s way’s a crisis,
everyone’s telling her, “we just don’t like this”,
they don’t like the view envisioned ahead
few submissions of an alternative get read. 

There’s the moron Corbyn a political calamity, 
many adore him, I’m like “how can it be”,
leading Labour with a Royal Vendetta,
come on you reds you can do better!

This Brexit palaver needs to meet its ends,
remainers keep meeting to protest like bellends,
we’re in it together, we’re all friends,
Brexit's feeding us "offending trends".

It’s clear we need a new political manager,
not Corbyn though, he’s an amateur,
UKIP a broken unit and gone
the Lib Dems live in a state of mong
we all know the Tories have got it wrong,
soon protest parties where they don't belong. 

Millions of experts that are not in office
critising like the option's obvious,
whilst behaving in ways mostly pathetic,
these "know it alls" only ever the electorate.

And I can see even the cabinet crappin’ it,
the world's watching Brexit, 
we need to start blaggin' it!
