Long Gop Poems

A Thousand Points of Light! ! ! ! !

A shining light on the hill
The ‘American Dream’
	Anyone can ‘make it’  
Never more than aspirational
Structurally delusional

Always susceptible to its 
	Achilles heel of...

UNSUPPORTED CODE  UNSUPPORTED CODE Election Year UNSUPPORTED CODE 

They all gathered at the Tower,
They faked their cheers for about an hour;
A king in his castle,
on the very first day,
All of the actors,
He would pay;

ELEPHANT DREAMS FALTER

The leading elephant fell
causing a huge elephant stampede
despair hit the herd
the elders denied the horror

All the animals in the kingdom of ignorance 
and self-righteousness grieved vowing vengeance
the head of the herd was ousted...

This is the house built “right”.

This is the greed bred in the seed

It's not hard to see or tell this world of ours 
Isn't the same as it used to be. Granted, it has

The GOP Presidents Club

Nineteen Republicans have occupied the Oval Office since 1861.
Around the table gather GOP presidents from Lincoln to Trump,
Sipping bourbon and wine and diet cola.
Reminiscing times basking in each other’s company,
With smiles of...

Every day...in fact, every 15 minutes,
someone, somewhere in America
picks up a gun and kills another person
for reasons unfathomable

It's a harsh, scalding reality...

Every now and then in our society
someone who shouldn't have an assault rifle,
takes it...

The Candidate

The man with his wife wave and smile at the onlookers;
Then descend the escalator in the posh New York Tower.
Melania’s appearance flares of elegance befitting a first lady,
While her husband ‘thumbs up’ acknowledges the...

Zombies dwell in the halls of justice of this country
joining other dead brained imposters
with their eye on the throne of Democracy
the Holy Grail of money, money, money 
 
Darkness surrounded us, the fight for promised...

Essential workers
They stand in front of the mirror
With black bags under their eyes
Forcing themselves awake
Just like any other day
The clock says 2:00 AM
They've taken a shower
They've gotten dressed
But now they put on a mask
And hope...

The fact is that there are a lot
Of Turkeys' in Washington...

 Thinking’s challenge is to weigh,
 all of one’s life substance;
 quandary thus, illogical fuss,
 which blinds the mind's acutance;

 vitiated indurate boastance;
 corrumpable sequella fortuity,
 each thought, is truth’s...

The scene from indulgent debt ridden family:
Toad AIG strings notes to unlabeled bonus fields,
Unconcerned a Grand Old Person dances to tune,
Yonder the mirror conceals TG's under the belt shot,
Awakened transparency in desperate steps:

Untouched assets loose...

If I were an elephant...
   I would not be holding my head very high.
After this past November's debacle
   I don't even know if I could try.

Some would venture to call me...

    Shadow of Lincoln, among others was strong.
Yet as time rolled through, subtle but
    Drastic change has occurred, both in the short & long.

I need to win the Powerball
For my house is getting small
It's not exactly what I prefer
It's just the size of my elephant herd

Ceramic, glass, plaster and wood
Plush, wax, cloth and plastic
The number of my herd...

Pachyderm Extinction Party

Two American parties of politics each have a mascot, 
Either choice as sensible as picking a sasquatch.
One a pachyderm the other a ass, 
The former officially adopted by the party of impasse.

Something strange that has occurred, a GOP debate
instead of questions on our Country, CNN pushed hate
Their questions shielded DNC, left out the main concerns

It's known as the 'Grand Old Party',
But now it seems the GOP stands for
'Grab Only Power'.
Here, it is simple greed that drives
False narratives, where residues spoil
Before they sour.

Little remains, from this once honorable
Party of Lincoln,...

Gay children.

Secret prison.

  Emotional torture by 
People that hate.
  We are born tempting the 
Hand of fate.

The GOP are talking about doing away
With the EPA

But The Environmental Protection Agency
Makes sure that factories don’t pollute the air we breathe

They say “Kill that act”
Just because they want to run their businesses with ease
