How dare you try to shrug it off, Joe
as 'one bad night'
when you didn’t deliver...
...Just like you didn’t deliver on Afghanistan, or
on picking a competent VP, or
on ending COVID school lockdowns, or
on reigning in reckless government spending, or
on combating skyrocketing inflation, or
on maintaining order at our southern border, or
on giving Ukraine what it needed to stop Putin, or
on keeping the pressure on Hamas instead of on Israel, or
on telling the truth about Hunter’s laptop, or
on supporting women’s sports for biological women only
on fighting unprecedented urban crime and disorder, or
on so much more
Your failure to deliver on debate night
once more reflects your utter lack of insight
demonstrates why you have absolutely no right
to continue to make a mockery of us
in this, America’s darkest night
Joe! Give up your maddeningly selfish fight
for the Presidency ~ you’re too far gone to see the light
This is not A.I.
Up there in the darken sky
Where astronauts fly
Accomplishing a heavenly ride
Pictures they took
Perfect for the global Instagram scrapbook
Allowing everyone a peek
Admiring the skyrocketing pecking cheek
Isn’t that sweet?
Reflecting upon the spaceship heat
Duet rekindling a romance
And dance
Expressing galactic vows
Circulating the day end bow
Performing a musical tune
Artemis waltzes around the illuminating moon
Ready to depart
Softening the international diplomatic heart
Exclaiming ‘gee’
Both stating ‘do you love me’
Heading home and everybody will see
Sporting Saturn rings
Showing off souvenir bling
Fore who completed a mission
Proving someone’s scientific vision
Life does exist throughout the stars
And we are proud to know who they are
The Bull (El Toro) of Wall Street
With nostrils flaring and snorting hot air,
El Toro charges into the stock market,
Where capitalist investors
Feud with socialist harbingers
Who take money from wealth creators
To distribute to others for political power.
El Toro barrels down, “With grit in my eyes,
I follow my nose.
Move!
By the prick of my horns
And to the beat of my hooves on the pavement,
Move.”
Optimistically, the bull advances,
Undaunted by tangents and challenges.
Build of prime with nerves of steel,
Wisely headstrong, it tackles its opponents
And sends the market skyrocketing,
And predictably, people rush in for profit.
Di Modica thought well when he threw the bull down
(Made of bronze!) on Wall Street in front of the NYSE
Out of gratitude and respect for helping him,
A penniless immigrant from Italy,
Who saw “Black Monday” as an opportunity
For the headstrong to survive the calamity.

Note:
Arturo Di Modica (1941–2021) arrived in the U.S.A. as a penniless immigrant from Italy in 1970. He felt indebted to America for his financial success, and to show his appreciation, he sculpted the “Charging Bull” bronze statue and dropped it off illegally in front of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on Wall Street in New York City, New York.
Di Modica was inspired by the market crash on October 19, 1987, known as “Black Monday.” Arturo Di Modica believed that the free market would pull America through troubled times.
We saw fields of yellow ten miles before we arrived, but the fields got brighter as we pulled into the farmer's lane. The flowers were nodding at us. They appeared to be giving the sun her energy; she was brighter here than anywhere else. A sense of peacefulness surrounded us as we pulled up next to the fence where the happy sunflowers stretched their faces to greet us. No better Kansas pride than this if you ask this Kansan.

Societal Issues & Perilous Times
By: Miracle Man
5/20/2021
Today, we are living in a world of chaos,
where many are engrossed in driving wedges.
Anyone who is different is fair game and racist.
Social justice, woke, and Cancel Culture is the narrative.
It’s like living in an old class B western movie.
Gun sales are skyrocketing, and many conceal carry.
We destroy past things and modify what we teach,
in an attempt to change History by polluting young minds.
Too many have the victim mentality seeking something free,
and demand compensation for wrongs that happened years ago.
Count your blessings and pray for our elected leaders
for truly we may be living in the last days.
Tom
2 Timothy 3:1-13 King James Version
3 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 Without natural affection, truce breakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4 Traitors, heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. 6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, 7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.
The whole world
is being sacrificed
by Israel and America
in the war of choice on Iran.
Why should Israel
decide the future
of the world?
Israel has become
a burden
on the conscience
of the world.
Israel has become
the narcissist
of the world.
Today,
the world is in pain
because of Israel.
To Israel,
genocide is called
self-defense.
Land theft
is called going home.
And those
who speak against genocide
are called antisemitic.
The world is moving
into recession
because of war
and instability.
Fuel prices
are skyrocketing.
Food prices
grow higher every day.
And the poor
suffer the most.
Israel has become
a calamity
to humanity.
Its appetite
for evil
has become greater
than its desire
to do good.
But Israel,
tell me this—
After the war,
who will you become
when much of the world
looks upon you
with hatred?
For power alone
cannot protect
the soul
of a nation.
Oh to be in England on a Summers Day
Said Shakespeare
I think ?
I must confess
I can't ever remember an Indian Summer
As Sun kissed as this
The garden grass has turned crisp brown
The tree's are shedding
And the flowers are wilting in the bathing heat
And i have had to double my hayfever medication
To placate the skyrocketing pollen rates
But you will never hear me complain
For me this is pure bliss
Reminds me of the pleasure of one's first kiss
My ailments seem cured
My eyes are alive to new possibility
I am at 1 with the mid-day sun gods
On the celestial equinox
Oh to be in England on a summers day
To witness a red rose
Dressed up in the afterglow
Dancing for pleasure
Sat out in the garden
Drink of choice in hand
Waiting for dusk to land
I can not think of anywhere else I would rather be
The World Cup is on T.V
And England are through to the 2nd round
With 1 game to spare
Dare to dream
If this summer is anything to go by
Stranger things have happened
Like the Moon landings
If it can be sunny for this long in rainy dour England
Then let us all make hey while the sun shines
And maybe just maybe
You never know
This may be our time shine
And we could finally put to bed
The memory of 1966
3 Lion's on our Shirt
Come on England
Oh to be in England on a World Cup Summers Day
Cosmic Adventure
There, upon the launchpad, the countdown proceeds
as bolts explode, and the umbilical apparatus releases,
and massive amounts of energy bursts from engine ignition
to create propulsion thrust and lift-off reaction
for the vehicle’s escape from Earth’s gravitational attraction
in sequential stages, skyrocketing into the orbital trajectory
of slingshot phenomenon to the universe of cosmic adventure,
likened to explorers in olden days piercing the unknown aperture.
Through the porthole, astronauts marvel at the spectacular scenery
as they watch their country on the blue planet disappear gradually.
Emotionally restrained, the astronauts resume their mission,
methodically pushing buttons and recording observations
in a four-dimensional continuum relativity experience,
limited in scope by the laws of scientific ingenuity.
Illusion©
Every once in a while laying in bed
My mind wanders
To places I have never been before
Time, events and places
Previously unknown
Appear in the mirror of my mind
It is though I can touch them
The experiences are so real
The smells, sights and sounds vivid
I can hear a pin drop
In the forest of my mind
Which suddenly has clarity
No longer filled with doubt
Or worry nor angst
Confidence is the order of the day
My popularity skyrocketing
Work immensely gratifying
Relationships rock solid
And therein lies the illusion
For in the empty shell of my life
None of these exist
Andreas Simic©
You set me on fire
Sizzling, blazing, devouring fire
Hot licking flames
Infernally hot
Temperatures skyrocketing
Scorching flares
Shooting out of your body
Searing into mine
One more moment
And I’ll cease to exist
The heat excruciating
Flames spread across my body
A wildfire from within
Combusting again and again and again….
With nothing left to consume
The fire starts to die out
Slowly, imperceptibly
I feel some coolness
A little here and a little there
As the fire recedes
Leaving smoldering embers
In its wake
I take a deep breath
Amazed that I’m still alive
In the warmth of your nearness
I open my eyes
And look up at your face
Only to see
An eternal flame
Still burning in your eyes!
