floridas electric chair

they sit him down like a tired old man
in that throne of leather and iron—
old sparky, they called it,
like it was some friendly dog.

they strap the wrists, ankles, chest,
tight enough to stop god himself—
one last insult to liberty.
the sponge is wet, because dry
means fire, and lawsuits.

the mask goes on—black as every sin,
but it’s the switch they love.
fingers twitch, a nod from a judge
who’s eaten too much for lunch.

then—crack.
a snap of light no eye can see.
his body lifts like a puppet on strings
jerks, clenches, convulses,
the legs slam the frame,
his tongue thick in his mouth.
smoke rises from scalp and thigh—
a scent like roast beef 
and shame.

they wait.
they juice him again.
and again,
until he stops pretending to be alive,
smoke wafts from every orfice in her body.


Premium Member Mirror of Justice So To Speak

This economic uncertainty under a radical communist agenda 
has taken its direction from China because the W,H,O clearly stated 
that another lock down would damage the health of a nation 
Many small businesses family run, will never reopen fact
doctors refuse to see patients only over the phone 
the list of violations where health is concerned draws a different picture 
Many lawsuits are coming down the line for these poor governmental policies 
which have created division and death amongst us  
They have separated many by publishing false narrative 
with manipulated figures to suit an agenda almost transparent 
people are sick listening to lies used to remove basic freedoms and human rights
State run lawlessness has broken every moral law to suit their corrupt souls power hungry has poisoned many of them to even oppose this subject 
bullies of the worst nature have created pockets of hate pushing for submission
Taking away a persons right to work and provide for their families 
every law they have passed goes against democracy and the basic principles and laws of a nation state, or social group that determine the powers and duties of the government and guarantee certain rights to the people in it 
common law has the right to arrest those in charge of this corrupt body 
which in control is driven by power against the creed

Premium Member Political Blues

Bears and dogs and brain worms, oh my. 
Made me want to vote for this guy! 
DeSantis was always my go-to, first choice
Social conservatives’ only real voice.
But then Iowa had their damned little caucus
Infected us all with enterococcus.
Suddenly, RFK looked pretty good -
detailed his issues; knew where he stood. 
On numerous planks, we didn’t agree,
But did so on several that mattered to me.
Nobody else even mentioned the debt,
much less declared it an imminent threat.
The border, free speech, and corporate capture;
If he’d been pro-life, I’d be fully enraptured.
Still, I was in, I was open, overt,
made a donation, and got me a shirt.
But then all the lawsuits, they got me distressed;
when he threw in with Trump, I was sorely depressed.
MAHA sounds nice, but would it really matter?
Love for a bit, but then all the chatter…
“Trump needs a mandate”, forget We The People
started to sound like the usual sheeple.
Something just died, and I lost all interest;
Now I watch YouTube, and I heard about Pinterest.
Deleted my twitter, turned off the news;
got me a case of political blues.

Premium Member The First 30 Days

Forget the First 48, how ‘bout the first 30 days, smh.

How is it that the House that has ALL the control is so out of control?
How is it that we got an elderly grandfather acting like a kid with a new case of ink pens?
With less than two weeks on the job and with all that is going on in the country, how is attending the Super Bowl a priority, and riding around the Daytona 500 racetrack benefiting our country? It's more like a senior citizen acting like a 12 year old that has never been let outside as a child.
Because of the Musketeers and the disarray, this "house" has more lawsuits piled up in the first 30 days than the days in the month. People not knowing what’s the deal, so many court cases and appeals.

The amount of disrespect and threatening to take away federal fundings from states who don't wanna play and do what you say, is wrong on so many levels.
How are things great or even better when so many people are getting a "You fired" letter?

Inflation, allegations, discrimination, immigration, mass deportations, ICE not so nice…
Thirty days, what a splatter, even his supporters doesn’t matter. Now what are they to do, when they are the ones being let go too. You was a fan, did you think you were exempt? Thousands upon thousands are being fired, now they are left wondering who else is hiring. Prices are soaring, eggs are $37.00 a dozen…

Mishandling, dismantling... FYI, no DEI, they coming for the CFPB, the NOAA, FAA, USAID, Medicaid (CMS), no appreciation for the Dept of Education, the NIH, the DoD, the CDC, the IRS in a big mess, EPA, FDA, the VA, FEMA, NASA and even more in store.

You knew what kind of chaos it was the last time so I don’t know why anybody is surprised. Awww, and you thought it was going to be better the second time around. Well, all I can say is, there is Power in Prayer.
Buckle up... and to think, this is only the first 30 days, smh.

Tough Times

Aaaargh 

It's been a tough month for me
The business spiralling
And workers on my toes
It feels like there's nothing I'm doing right 

Cause now it's a boss and his workers
While what we had was a family
We were so close that we'd iron things out
Now it's not peaceful talks, it's protests and lawsuits 

And I've not been one for the media
Especially now since I'm in it for wrong reasons
I'm but a Gypsie man trying to be smart
Cause we can't all be sly behind card tricks 

I've been on rough patches before
Where I'd hurt but I had someone with me
Now I have no one by my corner
Cause everyone sees me as the enemy 

They forget its hard to be at the top 
It's even more hard to make decisions
Cause some decisions are things I just have to do
For it's in the best interest of the company 

For they still got to be paid
And they need extra wages
So forgive me if I'm strict on the work
Cause I pay for effort ?? 
I can't just let everyone have what they ask for

Premium Member A Place Not Meant To Be: 10

#10: No Room At The Inn

They blossomed they did like rows of roses.
Places for lodgers, those traveling sourced,
their reasons countered their changing poses,
frequent stays and returns have been endorsed.
There will be places that might be lacking
for whatever reasons that there may be,
the people won't stay there, less foot tracking,
as sites may have Roach Motels that you'll see.
There will be double-booking caused concerns,
leaving people stranded, no way, no stay,
whereby many shorten trips--forced returns.
Trends rallied lawsuits; be that as it may,
X-X Bethlehem, then Jerusalem, He'll lay.

A Letter From Peta

I just received a letter of warning
From the people of PETA no doubt
Informing me they've seen what I do for meals
I think the chicken must have ratted me out

Well you can rest easy cause I can assure you
The poultry in question felt no harm
And the chicken also was taken
From a free range organic natural farm

The letter held all the usual jargon
About lawyers and lawsuits and such
It's not like the chicken was wasted
After all was said and done I had her over for lunch

So let me tell all you people at PETA
Don't get your panties all up in a wad
Right after the egg for breakfast she laid, I supplied the Preparation H
Then carried her gently to the chopping block

Premium Member There's a dead horse in my bathtub

I resist the urge to write of what I allegedly know for I am unsure of where I gathered the information and therefor unsure of whether I know it or not.  As you can see this poses a strange conundrum as I may be beating a dead horse leaving me with the confusing dilemma of explaining why I beat the horse to death in the first place.  Granted it is a metaphorical horse and as such was given life through my personification of its being and undoing.  Thus, I keep it in the bath tub for use as a subtly stupid response to inquiries such as “how’s it going”and “what’s new”, to which I reply: “There’s a dead horse in my bathtub”.

I once knew that 2 plus 2 equaled 4.  Not so sure anymore as I never accounted for inflation, deflation, tariffs, or the rising heat index as the planet shrinks and the stock marked rates crypto currency and jelly beans have been outlawed.  Remember, penny candy, jelly beans, paper with sticky sugary dots, Mary Jane’s.  Probably not.  But I digress as presently you can’t get a thought for a penny as in “a penny for your thoughts”.  It now requires filling out a 12 page terms and conditions document and a 25 dollar filing fee.  This may account for the reason so many are presently thoughtless or worse yet that when one person has a thought so many grab onto it and repeat it parrot-like until they start to argue over who’s thought it is or was.  This usually engenders a plethora of lawsuits over the violation of someone’s “intellectual” rights.

Premium Member Bullies Come In Mad and Mean

They come in mad and mean, yelling and screaming
Scaring the office workers, and terrifying their children
Who grow up thinking coming in mad, yelling and screaming
is normal.  
Sorry. It is not.

We work in a school. We know who they are.
They are the ones who write us the hate letters.
They are the ones who call us at home shrieking 
They threaten us with lawsuits.
Big bullies raise little bullies

Yes, you have heard it and I mean it.
I once asked a mother and father to stop letting 
The teenage cousins beat their eight-year-old up.
That’s good for him, the dad told me. It toughens him up.
Sure it was, good until he was dead.

Bullying is a way for those who are enraged,
And angry due to complete and utter sadness to get their kicks.
It is a way for the ones who have been kicked to do the kicking.
Rape, and murder is justified by these little bullies when they grow up
To become big bullies.  It is sad that some of them grow up to be president.
I never expected that.

What Is Christmas

What Is Christmas by Robert Allison Dec. 1986

Christmas is the time
When the jingle bells rhyme.

Boys say Christmas is fun
When they get a new toy gun.  **

Girls say Christmas is a ball,
When they get a brand new doll. **

Boys and girls say "Yay"
To a fun ride in a sleigh.

Most teens would love a new computer,
And most women would love figurines made of pewter.

Now don't forget the dad's
Cause they love the latest fads.

Well all this makes a Christmas nice,
But when going to a party - don't slip on the ice!

Author's Note : This poem was the very first one that
I created during my senior year at high school, before
Christmas break. It was a private (Christian) school and our 
English teacher asked us to write a couple paragraphs (or a poem) 
about what Christmas meant to us. I didn't know whether to 
write about the worldly side or the religious side of Christmas,
and I had never wrote a poem before. By the time class
was over with, I had created the short poem above. 
  ** In the original version - I had substituted "new toy gun"
with "Rambo gun", and also substituted "brand new doll"
with "Barbie doll". These two brand names were the 
current "craze" but I later substituted the words - due to 
all the lawsuits over copyright infringement at that time.
  Anyways, enough rambling from me. Hope you enjoyed !
