...But there exists a much broader hate,
half the species, you see, do not rate.
I’m talking, of course, about the men,
how we’re seen as less next to women,
that our basic masculinity
is portrayed as criminality,
save for working...

What should I write about today,
So many important things to say.
Like what is on tv this morning
More bad news, I saw that coming

Wars in Afghanistan and Iraq,
Our boys are fighting, we want them back.
The soldiers...

You hear dumb people screaming it
all over the networks today,
latest excuse for censorship,
“Hate speech! Hate Speech!” they always say.
They’ve even pushed some governments
to think that it’s a real thing,
politicos lusting for power
are only too eager...

You ever heard those people who
always spout these conspiracies?
Think there’s schemes behind everything,
it’s just so laughable to me!
Like remember a few years back,
in the days of the orange man,
he claimed that his first opponent
had hatched...

When the stomach of a child
Who has overfed rumbles, it is not 
In memory of the empty hands of the past
Or what the future holds in hand
It is to mock hunger by saying all is...

Once "City of Big Shoulders,"
 Stockyards and industrial concerns:
  A man's self-worth measured
   By muscle and energy burned.

Today the stockyards are shuttered,
 The Face of Livelihoods changed;
  From Meat-packing and Manufacturing---

Beware of politicians whose active manifesto
Is always to speak ill of other candidates and opposition parties.
They are the real problems!

Beware of political goons and rumour-mongers, spinning allegations 
Twining civil questions, yakking all day but never...

TAKING ME HOME

Mosquitoes tore at my skin
small but lethal
I struck at them but they were too fast
so I sat and bled

Bleeding, sitting in the restaurant 
in the Eiffel Tower in Paris on the top floor
I...

(Read later stanzas for more of the humour part ; parody of politics)

I Can't think well of a democracy
if nepotism and false promises
are part and parcel of its idiosyncrasy
A system of governance can't appeal to...

A man gets killed by the police
in a most undeserving way,
we all see it and all agree
they were wrong, and will have to pay.

The president himself sees it
and then sends in the F.B.I.,
to figure out...

Old growth forests are a sight to behold

IF EVER I HAD A COUNTRY : LXII - LXIII

You hear it on the TV these days,
and sadly in the classroom,
fools running down America,
proclaiming that we deserve doom.
Ignoring that all their rantings
in other lands would get them shot,
so determined to play victim
they’re all forgotten...

They're known by many names - taters, potatos, pertaters and spuds.
As a Hoosier lad I toiled hoein' taters and flickin' bugs off their buds!
So I was very well qualified when I entered the service, by...

It ain't no wonder that in this nation consternation and confusion reigns!
From wily politicos from the prez on down we hear the same old refrains!
"I'll see that you git a new sewer system in town...

Flesh is subtle…vulnerable…
All scarlet-covered, under skin;
The thin, hard smile of the harlot
Tells how many have stormed in. 

We are spoon-fed careful lies,
As they rewrite history, quash dissent,
Say Oswald killed The President…
Explode our towers before our...

Oh, to be in England 
Now that April's showers have gone
And whoever wakes in England
Sees, some morning, aware,    
Deep division or apalling apathy almost everywhere,
Most do not applaud at funerals or turn...

Alas, I see the proposed federal budget has hit the press.
I suppose its loaded with the usual absurd largesse!
Gleeful solons elbowin' others at the trough gittin' their share,
At the same time promisin' us the budget...

The concept of a royal family
Is such a ludicrous thing,  
Products of privileged inbreeding  
Worshipped as Queen  or king.
So, when the current one dies
And, I stress, and only then
He should be replaced...

executive, judicial, & legislative colluding bozos
feigning, grinning, hobnobbing... arrogant beastie
boys and goo goo dolls sporting snazziest custom
tailored (swiftly) made harried styled fancy clothes
at taxpayers expense of course, but more important
exerting Republican driven power to deprive...

Thankfully, another American election cycle has come and went,
Providing folks across the land their opportunity to vent.
For months, we've suffered a gamut of inane hullabaloo,
Now, maybe the pundits will find more productive things to do!

SPIN MASTERS SPINNING AWAY THE DAY
Every moment
I turn on the TV
What do I see
Nothing but liars laying down lies
Spin Masters spinning spam of deceit
